A new multi-resolution super-pixel based algorithm is proposed to track cell size, count and motion in Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) images. Multi-resolution super-pixels are obtained by placing varying density seeds on the image. The density of the seeds are determined according to the local high frequency components of the MSCs image. In this way a multi-resolution super-pixels decomposition of the image is obtained. A second contribution of the paper is novel decision rule for merging similar neighboring super-pixels. One-dimensional version of the well known scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) is developed and applied to the histograms of the neighboring super-pixels to determine similar regions. The proposed algorithm is experimentally shown to be successful in segmenting and tracking cells in MSCs images.

Wavelet Merged Multi-resolution Super-pixels and Their Applications on Fluorescent MSC Images Yorulmaz, Onur; Oguz, Oguzhan; Akhan, Ece; TUNCEL, DÖNÜŞ; Atalay, Rengül; ÇETİN, AHMET ENİS (2015-05-19) A new multi-resolution super-pixel based algorithm is proposed to track cell size, count and motion in Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) images.

DeepDistance: A multi-task deep regression model for cell detection in inverted microscopy images Koyuncu, Can Fahrettin; Gunesli, Gozde Nur; Atalay, Rengül; GÜNDÜZ DEMİR, Çiğdem (Elsevier BV, 2020-07-01) This paper presents a new deep regression model, which we call DeepDistance, for cell detection in images acquired with inverted microscopy. This model considers cell detection as a task of finding most probable locations that suggest cell centers in an image. It represents this main task with a regression task of learning an inner distance metric. However, different than the previously reported regression based methods, the DeepDistance model proposes to approach its learning as a multi-task regression pro...
Influence of micropatterns on human mesenchymal stem cell fate / Hastürk, Onur; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Biotechnology (2016) Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising cell sources for tissue engineering applications as they can differentiate into a variety of adult cells types including osteoblasts. In vivo microenvironment of stem cells is known to provide both biochemical signals and micro- and nanoscale physical cues that influence the behavior and fate of stem cells. The use of soluble chemical factors is the most common strategy to guide the commitment of MSCs to specific lineages, but it is a cause of concern such as unsa...
CEREBRA: A 3-D Visualization Tool for Brain Network Extracted from fMRI Data Nasır, Barış; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2016-08-20) In this paper, we introduce a new tool, CEREBRA, to visualize the 3D network of human brain, extracted from the fMRI data. The tool aims to analyze the brain connectivity by representing the selected voxels as the nodes of the network. The edge weights among the voxels are estimated by considering the relationships among the voxel time series. The tool enables the researchers to observe the active brain regions and the interactions among them by using graph theoretic measures, such as, the edge weight and n...
Hydrogels as a New Platform to Recapitulate the Tumor Microenvironment Hasırcı, Nesrin; Ermiş Şen, Menekşe; Güven, Sinan; Durmuş, Gözde; Rizvi, İmran; Hasan, Tayyaba; Demirci, Utkan; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (Elsevier Science, 2018-06-01) Recent advances in tissue engineering include the incorporation of multiple cell types into three-dimensional (3D) hydrogels to recapitulate extracellular matrix (ECM) structures and the functionality of living tissues in vitro. For decades, researchers have been investigating the complex mechanisms of cancer metastasis, tumorigenesis, and angiogenesis over two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cell culture models, or in vivo animal models. Increasing numbers of unsuccessful clinical trials for cancer therapy indi...
