Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Viability of 3t3-L1 Preadipocytes Is Modulated by the Applied Frequency but Not the Exposure Duration of Low Intensity Vibratory Stimulation(World Scientific Publishing, 2022) Baskan, Öznur; Özçivici, EnginMechanical forces are the integral determinants in cell and tissue homeostasis and regeneration, and they can affect numerous biological process from proliferation to fate determination. Mechanical forces that possess low magnitude and high frequency characteristics are also known as low intensity vibrations (LIVs). These signals were studied widely on many cell types for regenerative purposes, however most of these studies select components of LIV signals (e.g., magnitude, frequency, duration, etc.) arbitrarily. Here, we addressed the effect of LIV applied frequency, LIV daily exposure time and fate induction on the viability of preadipocyte 3T3-L1 cells. For this, we performed a frequency sweep that was ranging from 30Hz to 120Hz with 15Hz increments applied for 5, 10 or 20min during quiescent growth or adipogenesis for up to 10 days. Results suggest that the applied frequency and fate induction was an important determinant of cell viability while daily exposure time had no effect. These findings contribute to the effort of optimizing a relevant mechanical stimulus that can inhibit adipogenesis.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Application of Magnetic Levitation Induced Weightlessness To Detect Cell Lineage(IEEE, 2019) Sarıgil, Öykü; Anıl İnevi, Müge; Yılmaz, Esra; Çağan, Melike; Meşe, Gülistan; Tekin, Hüseyin Cumhur; Özçivici, EnginIdentification and classification of bone marrow cells is an important step for molecular biology and therapeutic studies related to bone marrow disorders such as osteoporosis or obesity. In this study, we applied magnetic levitation technology to induce a weightlessness environment to detect adipocytes and osteoblasts based on their single cell density. This biotechnological method can be used for separation of heterogeneous populations such as bone marrow once adapted to a continuous microfluidic platform.
