Bioactive nanomaterials for neural engineering
(Springer, Cham, 2016)Nervous system is a highly complex interconnected network and higher organisms including humans have limited neural regeneration capacity. Neurodegenerative diseases result in significant cognitive, sensory, or motor ... -
Burst-mode thulium all-fiber laser delivering femtosecond pulses at a 1 GHz intra-burst repetition rate
(Optical Society of America, 2017)We report on the development of, to the best of our knowledge, the first ultrafast burst-mode laser system operating at a central wavelength of approximately 2 μm, where water absorption and, consequently, the absorption ... -
Cell-graph mining for breast tissue modeling and classification
(2007)We consider the problem of automated cancer diagnosis in the context of breast tissues. We present graph theoretical techniques that identify and compute quantitative metrics for tissue characterization and classification. ... -
Design of a novel MRI compatible manipulator for image guided prostate interventions
(IEEE, 2005-02)This paper reports a novel remotely actuated manipulator for access to prostate tissue under magnetic resonance imaging guidance (APT-MRI) device, designed for use in a standard high-field MRI scanner. The device provides ... -
Detection of colon glands using subgraph modeling
(2011)The colon adenocarcinoma causes changes in glandular structures of colon tissues. Pathologists assess these changes to diagnose and grade the colon adenocarcinoma. However, this assessment may consist of a considerable ... -
Differences in the accumulation and distribution profile of heavy metals and metalloid between male and female crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus)
(2013)Concentrations of selected heavy metals and a metalloid were measured by ICP-MS in crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus) collected from Lake Hirfanli, Turkey. Aluminum (Al), chromium (52Cr, 53Cr), copper ( 63Cu, 65Cu), manganese ... -
Fiber laser-microscope system for femtosecond photodisruption of biological samples
(Optical Society of America, 2012-02-22)We report on the development of a ultrafast fiber lasermicroscope system for femtosecond photodisruption of biological targets. A mode-locked Yb-fiber laser oscillator generates few-nJ pulses at 32.7 MHz repetition rate, ... -
Frequency optimization in high intensity focused ultrasound
(IEEE Computer Society, 2014)In high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) the choice of transducer frequency depends on the target depth and tissue type. At high frequencies attenuation does not permit enough acoustical power to be transmitted to the ... -
Glycosaminoglycan-Mimetic Signals Direct the Osteo/Chondrogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells in a Three-Dimensional Peptide Nanofiber Extracellular Matrix Mimetic Environment
(American Chemical Society, 2016-02)Recent efforts in bioactive scaffold development focus strongly on the elucidation of complex cellular responses through the use of synthetic systems. Designing synthetic extracellular matrix (ECM) materials must be based ... -
Graph walks for classification of histopathological images
(2013)This paper reports a new structural approach for automated classification of histopathological tissue images. It has two main contributions: First, unlike previous structural approaches that use a single graph for representing ... -
Heparin mimetic peptide nanofiber gel promotes regeneration of full thickness burn injury
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017)Burn injuries are one of the most common types of trauma worldwide, and their unique physiology requires the development of specialized therapeutic materials for their treatment. Here, we report the use of synthetic, ... -
High-speed, thermal damage-free ablation of brain tissue with femtosecond pulse bursts
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)We report a novel ultrafast burst mode fiber laser system and results on ablation of rat brain tissue at rates approaching an order of magnitude improvement over previous reports, with no discernible thermal damage. © 2015 IEEE. -
Histopathological image classification with the bag of words model
(IEEE, 2011-06-23)Colon cancer, which is one of the most common cancer type, could be cured with its early diagnosis. In the current practice of medicine, there are many screening techniques such as colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, and stool ... -
Influence of phase function on modeled optical response of nanoparticle-labeled epithelial tissues
(2011)Metal nanoparticles can be functionalized with biomolecules to selectively localize in precancerous tissues and can act as optical contrast enhancers for reflectance-based diagnosis of epithelial precancer. We carry out ... -
Materials for articular cartilage regeneration
(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2012)Many health problems remaining to be untreatable throughout the human history can be overcome by utilizing new biomedical materials. Healing cartilage defects is one of the problems causing significant health issue due to ... -
Mathematical analysis of colon glands for cancer diagnosis
(2009)Neoplastic diseases including cancer cause organizational changes in tissues. Histopathological examination, which is routinely used for the diagnosis and grading of these diseases, relies on pathologists to identify such ... -
Model-based spectral analysis of photon propagation through nanoparticle-labeled epithelial tissues
(2011)Metal nanoparticles can function as optical contrast enhancers for reflectance-based diagnosis of epithelial precancer. We carry out Monte Carlo simulations to model photon propagation through normal tissues, unlabeled ... -
