Elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs) are smart, protein-based polymers designed with desired peptide sequences using recombinant DNA technology. The aim of the present study was to produce improved tissue engineering scaffolds from collagen and an elastin-like protein tailored to contain the cell adhesion peptide RGD, and to investigate the structural and mechanical capacities of the resulting scaffolds (foams, fibers and foam-fiber bilayer scaffolds). The results of the scanning electron microscopy, mercury porosimetry and mechanical testing indicated that incorporation of ELR into the scaffolds improved the uniformity and continuity of the pore network, decreased the pore size (from 200 to 20 mu m) and the fiber diameter (from 1.179 lm to 306 nm), broadened the pore size distribution (from 70-200 to 4-200 mu m) and increased their flexibility (from 0.007 to 0.011 kPa(-1)). Culture of human fibroblasts and epithelial cells in ELR-collagen scaffolds showed the positive contribution of ELR on proliferation of both types of cells.

A high-throughput microfluidic rare cell enrichment system based on dielectrophoresis and filtering Ozkayar, Gurhan; Yalcin, Yagmur Demircan; Ozgur, Ebru; Gündüz, Ufuk; Külah, Haluk (2016-05-27) In this study, a MEMS-based microfluidic device combining DEP-based cell manipulation with size-based filtration for the enrichment of CTCs from blood with high-throughput was developed. Positive-DEP (pDEP) force and the hydrodynamic force have been used to fine-tune the cell movement over the planar electrodes (sliding) at a high flow rate (30 mu l/min). While smaller sized RBCs passed through the gaps and were directed to the waste channels, cancer cells (K562 cells) were filtered and directed to the canc...
The effect of cysteine-43 mutation on thermostability and kinetic properties of citrate synthase from Thermoplasma acidophilum Kocabıyık, Semra; Russel, RJM; Danson, MJ; Hough, DW (Elsevier BV, 1996-07-05) In this study, we have substituted serine-43 by cysteine in the recombinant citrate synthase from a moderately thermophilic Archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum, for site-specific attachment of labels and have investigated the effects of this mutation on the biochemical properties and thermal stability of the enzyme. Both wild-type and the mutant enzymes were purified to homogenity using affinity chromatography on Matrex Gel Red A. The mutant Thermoplasma citrate synthase is very similar to wild-type citrate s...
A high throughput approach for analysis of cell nuclear deformability at single cell level Ermis, Menekse; Akkaynak, Derya; Chen, Pu; Demirci, Utkan; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2016-11-14) Various physiological and pathological processes, such as cell differentiation, migration, attachment, and metastasis are highly dependent on nuclear elasticity. Nuclear morphology directly reflects the elasticity of the nucleus. We propose that quantification of changes in nuclear morphology on surfaces with defined topography will enable us to assess nuclear elasticity and deformability. Here, we used soft lithography techniques to produce 3 dimensional (3-D) cell culture substrates decorated with micron ...
Using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System for Classification of Microarray Gene Expression Cancer Profiles Haznedar, Bülent; Arslan, Mustafa Turan; Kalınlı, Adem (2018-05-01) Microarray is a technology that enables simultaneously analysis of thousands of genes in DNA structure depending on the advances in biochemistry. With this technology, it has become possible to diagnose and treat heredity diseases by analyzing thousands of gene expression levels. This study proposes an artificial intelligence method, Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS), to classify cancer gene expression profiles. The findings obtained with the proposed ANFIS approach are compared with the results...
Optimization of nucleic acid delivery via cationic polymers for genome engineering Öktem, Ayşegül; Erson Bensan, Ayşe Elif; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2019) One of the most challenging aspects of genome engineering is the delivery of genome editing components such as plasmids, oligonucleotides, RNA and protein. In this work, in-house synthetized cationic polymer poly (2-hydroxypropylene imine) (pHP) was tested in order to achieve substantial delivery efficiency while preserving high culture viability. Applicability of this cationic polymer mediated nucleic acid delivery method for both plant and mammalian cells were demonstrated. Several parameters of plasmid a...
