There are several reports studying cell behavior on surfaces in 2D or in hydrogels in 3D. However, cell behavior in 3D microporous scaffolds has not been investigated extensively. In this study, poly(L-lactic acid)/poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLLA/PLGA)-based microporous scaffolds were used to study the effects of scaffold microarchitecture and mechanical properties on the behavior of two different cell types, human meniscal fibrochondrocytes and L929 mouse fibroblasts. In general, cell attachment, spreading and proliferation rate were mainly regulated by the strut (pore wall) stiffness. Increasing strut stiffness resulted in an increase in L929 fibroblast attachment and a decrease in fibrochondrocyte attachment. L929 fibroblasts tended to get more round as the strut stiffness increased, while fibrochondrocytes tended to get more elongated. Cell migration increased for both cell types with the increasing pore size. Migrating L929 fibroblasts tended to get more round on the stiff scaffolds, while fibrochondrocytes tended to get more round on the soft scaffolds. This study shows that the behavior of cells on 3D microporous scaffolds is mainly regulated by pore size and strut stiffness, and the response of a cell depends on the stiffness of both cells and materials. This study could be useful in designing better scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.

Effects of surface reflectance on local second order shape estimation in dynamic scenes. Dövencioğlu, Nahide Dicle; Ben-Shahar, O; Doerschner, K (2015-10-01) In dynamic scenes, relative motion between the object, the observer, and/or the environment projects as dynamic visual information onto the retina (optic flow) that facilitates 3D shape perception. When the object is diffusely reflective, e.g. a matte painted surface, this optic flow is directly linked to object shape, a property found at the foundations of most traditional shape-from-motion (SfM) schemes. When the object is specular, the corresponding specular flow is related to shape curvature, a regime c...
Effects of 3D Registration on Subspace Based Face Recognition Methods USTUN, Bulent; Halıcı, Uğur; ULUSOY PARNAS, İLKAY (2008-04-22) The effect of 3D registation is examined through various subspace based recognition algorithms. Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm and its variations are used for registration and Eigenface, Fisherface, NMF (Nonnegative Matrix Factorization) and ICA (Independent Component Analysis) are used for recognition. It is observed that ICP and its variations converges to the place on the database FRGC v. 1 used. Among the recognition algorithms Fisher-face and ICA are performed better than the others.
Effect of synthesis parameters on the surface morphology of conducting polypyrrole films Kaynak, A (1997-03-01) Surface morphology of polypyrrole films was investigated by using atomic force and scanning electron microscopy techniques. Synthesis parameters such as dopant concentration and synthesis time and subsequent heat treatment were found to affect the surface morphology of electrochemically synthesized polypyrrole films. Mean height, root-mean-square roughness, and nodule diameter increased with increasing dopant concentration and synthesis time. Lightly doped, semiconducting films had smoother surface morpholo...
Effects of Isoflurane, Halothane, and Chloroform on the Interactions and Lateral Organization of Lipids in the Liquid-Ordered Phase Türkyılmaz, Serhan; Regen, Steven L. (2011-12-06) The first quantitative insight has been obtained into the effects that volatile anesthetics have on the interactions and lateral organization of lipids in model membranes that mimic "lipid rafts". Specifically, nearest-neighbor recogntion measurements, in combination with Monte Carlo simulations, have been used to investigate the action of isoflurane, halothane, and chloroform on the compactness and lateral organization of cholesterol-rich bilayers of 1,2-dipalmitoylsn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) in the...
The Effect of Labeled/Unlabeled Prior Information for Masseter Segmentation Tabar, Yousef Rezaei; Ulusoy, İlkay (Hindawi Limited, 2013-01-01) Several segmentation methods are implemented and applied to segment the facial masseter tissue from magnetic resonance images. The common idea for all methods is to take advantage of prior information from different MR images belonging to different individuals in segmentation of a test MR image. Standard atlas-based segmentation methods and probabilistic segmentation methods based on Markov random field use labeled prior information. In this study, a new approach is also proposed where unlabeled prior infor...
