A novel scaffold material based on a novel targeting strategy has been developed, benefiting from recent progress in the development of fluorescent bioprobes. This concept suggests that several specifications which are desired for cancer cell targeting and imaging studies can be satisfied at the same time in one multifunctional scaffold. Besides, such scaffolds exhibit multi-colour properties when combined with a targeting moiety. For this purpose, a fluorescent and functional monomer, 3-(1H-phenanthro[9,10-d] imidazol-2-yl) phenol (PIP) and an antibody labelling kit (CF555) were merged on the same scaffold to generate the proposed bioprobe. This design offers multicolour cell images by emitting at dual wavelengths with no quenching in its fluorescent property. Also, pendant alcohol groups in the structure of PIP enable covalent attachment to labelled protein, CF555/anti-CD44 in order to enhance the biological activity and specificity towards the target. After combining with the targeting moiety, the bioconjugate was characterized, tested for in vitro studies, and the cellular internalization was monitored in live cells via the fluorescence microscope technique. The present work with such a strategy explores the potential use of the proposed fluorescent probe for the first time. The aim is to achieve targeted imaging of CD44 positive U87-MG cancer cells and determine specific cellular labelling via fluorescence imaging and flow cytometry experiments.

Erdil, Emre; Topalli, Kagan; Zorlu, Ozge; Toral, Taylan; YILDIRIM, ENDER; KÜLAH, HALUK; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2013-04-12)
This paper presents a novel microfluidics based approach to develop a reconfigurable circularly polarized transmitarray unit cell. The unit cell comprises double layer nested split ring slots formed as microfluidic channels that can be filled by fluids. Split regions in the slots are realized by injecting liquid metal into the channels. Beam steering is obtained by implementing rotational phase shifting via manipulating the liquid metal in the slots. X-band unit cell prototypes are fabricated on glass subst...

A novel amperometric biosensor based on a conducting polymer using multi walled carbon nanotube modified electrode was developed for detection of organophosphorus pesticides. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was successfully immobilized by covalent linkage on the modified graphite electrode. Carbon nanotubes were functionalized by electrochemical treatment. A conducting polymer; poly(4-( 2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzenamine) (poly( SNS-NH2)) was synthesized via electropolymerization to examine its ma...

IEEEThis article describes the development of a novel integrated thermal and electro-magnetic hybrid micro opto-electro mechanical system (MOEMS) based scanning actuator. Determining the optical architecture and components used for scanning are significant points of the study. A metalens and a coded mask, both of which can be produced by micro fabrication methods, are used in the optical part of the actuator. In this context, a metalens consisting of nano-holes was designed and fabricated as the first alter...

This paper describes a new strategy to make a full solid-state, flexible, dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) based on novel ionic liquid gel, organic dye, ZnO nanoparticles and carbon nanotube (CNT) thin film stamped onto a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The CNTs serve both as the charge collector and as scaffolds for the growth of ZnO nanoparticles, where the black dye molecules are anchored. It opens up the possibility of developing a continuous roll to roll processing for THE mass production o...
