The interaction of neural cells with silicon surfaces is important for basic research as well as for various possible applications, such as silicon-based neural implants and neurochips. Laser structuring of silicon provides a quick and versatile method for the generation of complex, hierarchical topographies on precise locations of the substrate. The behaviour ofNeuro-2A cells with laser-structured silicon substrates was studied using a live-imaging setup with fluorescence microscopy. Neuro-2A cells were able to adhere to polished silicon, ripples and microcolumns to different extents, depending on the substrate topography and incubation time. Initially, cells adhere much better to structured areas, resulting in visible cell patterning on the substrates. Time-lapse microscopy revealed cell exploration and motility behaviours on the substrates. Cell motility was significantly decreased on structured substrates, with whole area microcolumns having the slowest cell motility. On polished silicon, cells were found to interact with the substrates using lamellipodia and filopodia. After 24 or 48 hours, cells were better able to adhere to polished as well as structured silicon. Neurite alignment xl.as observed on microcolumn and trench substrates. On the other hand, highly processed substrates were inhibitory to cell growth and resulted in poor cell health.

THE EFFECT OF TOPOGRAPHY-INDUCED MECHANOTRANSDUCTION ON EXPRESSION LEVELS OF FOCAL ADHESION-RELATED GENES IN NEURO-2A CELLS
Culfa, Şeyda; Son, Çağdaş Devrim; Bek, Alpan; Department of Biochemistry (2022-8-29)
Cells' interaction with their environment and how their responses to different mechanical cues are regulated have attracted attention for decades. These mechanical cues vary from topography to substrate stiffness. Knowing how topography-induced cell responses are regulated might give useful information about cell behaviors in health and disease states. This knowledge can be utilized to manipulate cell behaviors for different purposes. Topography-dependent cell behaviors rely on various parameters such as ce...
The effect of diabetes on rat skeletal muscle tissues at molecular level
Bozkurt, Özlem; Severcan, Feride; Department of Biology (2006)
In the present study Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy was used to examine the effects of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus on the structural components of slow- and fast-twitch rat skeletal muscles, at molecular level. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder of carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism, which is characterized by hyperglycemia caused by a defective or deficient insulin secretory response. The effect of diabetes is seen on a variety of tissues leading to important secondary compl...
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...
The Effect of physical properties of the ELP-collagen based patterned surfaces on cell attachment and deformation
Antmen, Ezgi; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Demirci, Utkan; Department of Biology (2013)
Cell and substrate interactions are important in tissue engineering products especially on the behavior of the cells such as adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. These have been widely studied using substrates with different physical, chemical, and mechanical properties and form. In this study, elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs) were used blended with collagen or only collagen as the surface material. The ELR used in this study has Valine-Proline-Glycine-X-Glycine aminoacid sequences in i...
The role of multiple toll-like receptor signalling cascades on interactions between biomedical polymers and dendritic cells

Biomaterials are used in several health-related applications ranging from tissue regeneration to antigen-delivery systems. Yet, biomaterials often cause inflammatory reactions suggesting that they profoundly alter the homeostasis of host immune cells such as dendritic cells (DCs). Thus, there is a major need to understand how biomaterials affect the function of these cells. In this study, we have analysed the influence of chemically and physically diverse biomaterials on DCs using several murine knockouts. ...
