PURPOSE. To develop an artificial cornea, the ability to coculture the different cell types present in the cornea is essential. Here the goal was to develop a full-thickness artificial cornea using an optimized collagen-chondroitin sulfate foam, with a thickness close to that of human cornea, by coculturing human corneal epithelial and stromal cells and transfected human endothelial cells.

Bioreduction of Idarubicin and Formation of ROS Responsible for DNA Cleavage by NADPH-Cytochrome P450 Reductase and its Potential Role in the Antitumor Effect Celik, Haydar; Arinc, Emel (2008-01-01) Purpose. Idarubicin is a clinically effective synthetic anthracycline analog used in the treatment of several human neoplasms. Anthracyclines have the potential to undergo bioactivation by flavoenzymes to free radicals and thus exert their cytotoxic actions. In this study, our main objective was to investigate the possible involvement of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase in the bioreductive activation of idarubicin to DNA-damaging species. Methods. A pBR322 plasmid DNA damage assay was used as a sensitive met...
Drug resistant breast cancer cells overexpress ETS1 gene Kars, Meltem Demirel; Iseri, Ozlem Darcansoy; Gündüz, Ufuk (2010-09-01) Purpose. - Multidrug resistance (MDR) is resistance to wide range of structurally unrelated anticancer agents. MDR is a serious limitation to the effective chemotherapy. Involvement of ETS1 overexpression in upregulation of MDR1 gene expression is implicated. In the present study the aim was to assess the involvement of ETS1 and the genes, which encode the proteins interacting with ETS1 in drug resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cells.
Numerical Simulation of the Storm Surge at the Sakhalin Island Southern Part on November 15, 2019 Zaytsev, A.; Pelinovsky, E. N.; Dogan, D.; Yalciner, B.; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Kurkin, A. A.; Moskvitin, A. A. (2020-01-01) Purpose. Investigation of the storm surge in Korsakov in the southern part of the Sakhalin Island on November 15, 2019 and comparison of the results of its numerical simulation with the data of in situ measurements constitute the aim of the article.
Determining and Evaluating Ideal Physics Teacher s Characteristics Eryılmaz, Ali (Hacettepe Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi, 1999-01-01) The main purpose of this studyare; to investigate the characteristics of a prospective physics teacher, to evaluate attitudesof preservice physics teachers toward to be a physics teacher, and to evaluate preservice physics teachers' qualifications. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, literature have been searched in detail. Then, a questionnaire was developed to measure preservice physics teachers qualifications and attimdes of preservice physics teachers toward to be a physics teacher. The Que...
Detection of a large Be circumstellar disk during X-ray quiescence of XTE J1946+274 Arabaci, M. Ozbey; Camero-Arranz, A.; Zurita, C.; Gutierrez-Soto, J.; Nespoli, E.; Suso, J.; Kiaeerad, F.; Garcia-Rojas, J.; Kiziloglu, U. (2015-10-01) Aims. We present a multiwavelength study of the Be/X-ray binary system XTE J1946+274 with the main goal of better characterizing its behavior during X-ray quiescence. We also aim to shed light on the possible mechanisms which trigger the X-ray activity for this source.
