    Biofabrication of Scaffold-Free 3d Cellular Structures Using Magnetic Levitational Assembly To Study Cardiac Toxicity
    (Mary Ann Liebert, 2023) Yıldız, Ahu Arslan; Arslan Yıldız, Ahu; Onbaş, Rabia
    Spheroids are one of the well-characterized 3D cell culture approaches for drug screening and therapeutic studies. Magnetic levitation (MagLev) is a newly developing approach to form 3D cellular structures and spheroids [1,2,3]. Magnetic levitational assembly of cells provides rapid, simple, cost-effective 3D cell culture formation while ensuring scaffold-free microenvironment. Here, our efforts are summarized in designing new magnetic levitation platform and biofabrication of 3D cellular entities via magnetic levitation for tissue engineering. Magnetic levitation and guidance of cells were provided by using a paramagnetic agent to fabricate scaffold-free 3D cellular structures. The parameters of cell density, paramagnetic agent concentration, and culturing time were optimized to obtain 3D cardiac cellular structures with tunable size, circularity, and high cell viability. Cellular and extracellular components of the 3D cellular structures were demonstrated via immunofluorescent staining. Also, 3D cardiac cellular structures showed more resistance to drug exposure compared to 2D control. In conclusion, MagLev methodology offers an easy and efficient way to fabricate 3D cellular structures for drug screening studies.

    Label-Free Detection of Rare Cancer Cells Using Deep Learning and Magnetic Levitation Principle
    (SPIE, 2021) Delikoyun, Kerem; Demir, Ali Aslan; Tekin, Hüseyin Cumhur
    Magnetic levitation is an effective tool for separating target cells within a heterogeneous solution by utilizing density differences among cell lines. However, magnetic levitation cannot be used to identify target cells which have similar density profile as the other cells in the solution. Therefore, accuracy of cell identification can dramatically reduce. In this study, we introduce, for the first time, the use of deep learning-based object detection approach for label-free identification of rare cancer cells within levitated cells. As a result, our novel and hybrid detection strategy could be used to identify circulating tumor cells for diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. © 2021 SPIE.

    Magnetic Levitation-Based Protein Detection Using Lensless Digital Inline Holographic Microscopy
    (The Chemical and Biological Microsystems Society (CBMS), 2019) Yaman, Sena; Delikoyun, Kerem; Tekin, Hüseyin Cumhur
    We present a portable protein detection platform based on magnetic levitation principle integrated with a lensless imaging system. In the platform, polymer microspheres are used to capture selectively target proteins and magnetic nanoparticle labels. The imaging system monitors the levitation height change of polymer microspheres with respect to the presence of target protein on their surfaces. This system enables the detection of target proteins down to ng/mL levels in a short time. © 2019 CBMS-0001.
