During cryopreservation, ice forms in the extracellular space resulting in freezing-induced deformation of the tissue, which can be detrimental to the extracellular matrix (ECM) microstructure. Meanwhile, cells dehydrate through an osmotically driven process as the intracellular water is transported to the extracellular space, increasing the volume of fluid for freezing. Therefore, this study examines the effects of cellular presence on tissue deformation and investigates the significance of intracellular water transport and cell-ECM interactions in freezing-induced cell-fluid-matrix interactions. Freezing-induced deformation characteristics were examined through cell image deformetry (CID) measurements of collagenous engineered tissues embedded with different concentrations of MCF7 breast cancer cells versus microspheres as their osmotically inactive counterparts. Additionally, the development of a biophysical model relates the freezing-induced expansion of the tissue due to the cellular water transport and the extracellular freezing thermodynamics for further verification. The magnitude of the freezing-induced dilatation was found to be not affected by the cellular water transport for the cell concentrations considered; however, the deformation patterns for different cell concentrations were different suggesting that cell-matrix interactions may have an effect. It was, therefore, determined that intracellular water transport during freezing was insignificant at the current experimental cell concentrations; however, it may be significant at concentrations similar to native tissue. Finally, the cell-matrix interactions provided mechanical support on the ECM to minimize the expansion regions in the tissues during freezing.

Two alternatives for magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography: injected or induced current Eroglu, Hasan H.; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (IOP Publishing, 2016-11-01) In this paper, the abilities of injected current magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) and induced current magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (ICMREIT) systems to differentiate a conductivity perturbation from an otherwise uniform conductivity distribution are compared. The sensitivity of MREIT measurements changes as a function of distance to the electrodes used for current injection. The sensitivity of ICMREIT measurements is related to the radial location, being a min...
Effect of stenosis shape on the sound emitted from a constricted blood vessel Ozden, Kamil; Sert, Cüneyt; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-03-01) Effect of stenosis shape on the post-stenotic pressure fluctuations and the sound emitted from a constricted blood vessel is studied numerically. Large eddy simulations are performed using OpenFOAM under pulsatile flow conditions with a non-Newtonian fluid model. Findings indicate that the high slope at the stenosis entrance and overlap of more than one stenosis shorten the length of the flow jet, trigger turbulence, and increase vortical activity, turbulent kinetic energy, and magnitude of pressure fluctua...
Effect of g-quadruplex formation on uv-induced damage and nucleotide excision repair Azgari, Cem; Adebali, Ogün (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) G-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-B DNA structures formed by four or more guanine tetrads stabilized by a charged ion. The formation and cellular functions of G4s are widely studied. G4s are known to localize at telomeres and promoters with a range of functions including maintaining genome integrity at telomeres and suppressing or initiating transcription. Moreover, G4s can cause mutagenesis if they stay persistent during replication [1]. Although thermodynamically stable G4s are linked to double-strand breaks a...
Nonlinear viscoelastic material property estimation of lower extremity residual limb tissues Tönük, Ergin (ASME International, 2004-04-01) Axisymmetric nonlinear finite-element analysis was used to simulate force-relaxation and creep data obtained during in vivo indentation of the residual limb sofa tissues of six individuals with trans-tibial amputation [1]. The finite-element models facilitated estimation of an appropriate set of nonlinear viscoelastic material coefficients of extended James-Green-Simpson material formulation for bulk soft tissue at discrete, clinically relevant test locations. The results indicate that over 90% of the exper...
A COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF SEVERAL EXCITING MAGNETIC-FIELDS FOR INDUCED CURRENT EIT Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (IOP Publishing, 1994-05-01) In this study, the selection of coil configuration parameters (coil radius and coil centre shift) for induced current Err using circular coils is investigated . An alternative coil configuration is suggested, which produces approximately linear (spatially) magnetic fields in order to strengthen the currents in the central region. Injected current EIT, with Sheffield data collection protocol, and induced current EIT, With two different coil configurations, are compared with respect to singular-value pattern...
