Analysis of mutual acoustic coupling in CMUT arrays using an accurate lumped element nonlinear equivalent circuit model
(2012)We use an accurate nonlinear equivalent circuit model to analyze CMUT arrays with multiple cells, where every cell in the array is coupled to other cells at their acoustic terminals through a mutual radiation impedance ... -
Analysis of the in vitro nanoparticle–cell interactions via a smoothing-splines mixed-effects model
(Taylor and Francis, 2016)A mixed-effects statistical model has been developed to understand the nanoparticle (NP)–cell interactions and predict the rate of cellular uptake of NPs. NP–cell interactions are crucial for targeted drug delivery systems, ... -
Antigenic GM3 lactone mimetic molecule integrated mannosylated glycopeptide nanofibers for the activation and maturation of dendritic cells
(American Chemical Society, 2017)The ability of dendritic cells to coordinate innate and adaptive immune responses makes them essential targets for vaccination strategies. Presentation of specific antigens by dendritic cells is required for the activation ... -
Atomic force microscopy for the investigation of molecular and cellular behavior
(Elsevier, 2016-10)The present review details the methods used for the measurement of cells and their exudates using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and outlines the general conclusions drawn by the mechanical characterization of biological ... -
Bacteria encapsulated electrospun nanofibrous webs for remediation of methylene blue dye in water
(Elsevier, 2017-04)In this study, preparation and application of novel biocomposite materials that were produced by encapsulation of bacterial cells within electrospun nanofibrous webs are described. A commercial strain of Pseudomonas ... -
Bioactive supramolecular peptide nanofibers for regenerative medicine
(Wiley, 2014)Recent advances in understanding of cell-matrix interactions and the role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in regulation of cellular behavior have created new perspectives for regenerative medicine. Supramolecular peptide ... -
Carcinoma cell line discrimination in microscopic images using unbalanced wavelets
(IEEE, 2012-03)Cancer cell lines are widely used for research purposes in laboratories all over the world. In this paper, we present a novel method for cancer cell line image classification, which is very costly by conventional methods. ... -
Contact guidance enhances the quality of a tissue engineered corneal stroma
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2008)Corneal stroma is a very complex structure, composed of 200 lamellae of oriented collagen fibers. This highly complex nature of cornea is known to be important for its transparency and mechanical integrity. Thus, an ... -
Cornea engineering on polyester carriers
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2006)In this study, biodegradable polyester based carriers were designed for tissue engineering of the epithelial and the stromal layers of the cornea, and the final construct was tested in vitro. In the construction of the ... -
Designing circular CMUT cells using CMUT biasing chart
(IEEE, 2012-10)A very accurate equivalent circuit model for circular CMUT cell is recently proposed. As a consequence of this model, the operating characteristics of the cell is derived and presented as a biasing chart for CMUTs. We ... -
Detection of Calcium-induced morphological changes on RBCs by digital holographic microscopy and blinking optical tweezers
(IEEE, 2016)Ca+2 level in the circulating red blood cells (RBCs) takes part not only in controlling biophysical properties, but also affects the membrane composition, and its morphological and rheological properties. Excessive ... -
Encapsulation of two different TLR ligands into liposomes confer protective immunity and prevent tumor development
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)Nucleic acid-based Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands are promising adjuvants and immunotherapeutic agents. Combination of TLR ligands potentiates immune response by providing synergistic immune activity via triggering ... -
Equivalent circuit-based analysis of CMUT cell dynamics in arrays
(IEEE, 2013)Capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs) are usually composed of large arrays of closely packed cells. In this work, we use an equivalent circuit model to analyze CMUT arrays with multiple cells. We study ... -
Extracting the temperature distribution on a phase-change memory cell during crystallization
(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2016-10)Phase-change memory (PCM) devices are enabled by amorphization- and crystallization-induced changes in the devices' electrical resistances. Amorphization is achieved by melting and quenching the active volume using short ... -
