This study presents the comparative cell attachment investigation of TAT and well-known RGD peptide modified surfaces. Initially, cysteine containing arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) and TAT peptides, a class of cell penetration peptides, were synthesized. Gold film coated indium tin oxide (gold/ITO) surfaces were coated with RGD and TAT peptides and used for cell culture applications. Thiol groups on the peptides provide post-modification of the surface. The efficient bonding of the peptides with the modified surface brings proper attachment of the cells. The peptide modified surfaces were tested for adhesion of several cell lines such as monkey kidney epithelial cell (Vero), human cervical carcinoma cell (HeLa), human glioblastoma cell (U87-MG) and human immortalized skin keratinocyte cell (HaCaT) lines. These cells were cultured on RGD and TAT modified gold/ITO surfaces. Cell imaging studies were performed on these surfaces using fluorescence microscopy technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle measurements were carried out for the surface characterization. The results indicate that the RGD and TAT modified surfaces exhibited better cell adhesion. Therefore, besides RGD as a well-known adhesion peptide, TAT functionalized substrates were found to be efficient bio-sensing candidates for further studies.

Automatic segmentation of human facial tissue by MRI-CT fusion: A feasibility study
Kale, Emre H.; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; HAMCAN, Salih (2012-12-01)
The aim of this study was to develop automatic image segmentation methods to segment human facial tissue which contains very thin anatomic structures. The segmentation output can be used to construct a more realistic human face model for a variety of purposes like surgery planning, patient specific prosthesis design and facial expression simulation. Segmentation methods developed were based on Bayesian and Level Set frameworks, which were applied on three image types: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), compu...
Nanofeatured silk fibroin membranes for dermal wound healing applications
Karahaliloglu, Zeynep; Ercan, Batur; DENKBAŞ, EMİR BAKİ; Webster, Thomas J. (2015-01-01)
As an effort to create the next generation of improved skin graft materials, in this study, we modified the surfaces of a previously investigated material, silk fibroin, using a NaOH alkaline treatment to obtain a biologically inspired nanofeatured surface morphology. Such surfaces were characterized for roughness, energy, and chemistry. In addition, keratinocyte (skin-forming cells) adhesion and proliferation on such nanofeatured silk fibroin wound dressings were studied in an initial attempt to determine ...
Microfibrous scaffolds from poly(L-lactide-co-epsilon-caprolactone) blended with xeno-free collagen/hyaluronic acid for improvement of vascularization in tissue engineering applications

Success of 3D tissue substitutes in clinical applications depends on the presence of vascular networks in their structure. Accordingly, research in tissue engineering is focused on the stimulation of angiogenesis or generation of a vascular network in the scaffolds prior to implantation. A novel, xeno-free, collagen/hyaluronic acid-based poly(L-lactide-co-epsilon-caprolactone) (PLC/COL/HA) (20/9.5/0.5 w/w/w) microfibrous scaffold was produced by electrospinning. Collagen types I and III, and hyaluronic acid...

This study prepared three structurally related zinc-dipicolylamine (ZnDPA) tracers with [In-111] labels and conducted biodistribution and single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging studies of a mouse leg infection model.
Influence of micropatterned polymeric substrates on cancer cell behavior
Ermiş Şen, Menekşe; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Demirci, Utkan; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2016)
The aim of this study was to develop micropatterned surfaces on biodegradable polymers such as PLGA and PLLA and non-degradable polymer PMMA to study cellular responses including proliferation, cellular morphology, nucleus morphology and deformation, focal adhesions and related pathways, cell division and cycle, and epithelial to mesenchymal transition in cancer cells. An array of nine surfaces decorated with micron sized micropillars were produced using photolithography. Saos-2 osteosarcoma and hOB human o...
