Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 43Molecular Separation by Using Active and Passive Microfluidic Chip Designs: A Comprehensive Review(Wiley, 2023-10-27) Ebrahimi, Aliakbar; Icoz, Kutay; Didarian, Reza; Shih, Chih-Hsin; Tarim, E. Alperay; Nasseri, Behzad; Avci, HuseyinSeparation and identification of molecules and biomolecules such as nucleic acids, proteins, and polysaccharides from complex fluids are known to be important due to unmet needs in various applications. Generally, many different separation techniques, including chromatography, electrophoresis, and magnetophoresis, have been developed to identify the target molecules precisely. However, these techniques are expensive and time consuming. "Lab-on-a-chip" systems with low cost per device, quick analysis capabilities, and minimal sample consumption seem to be ideal candidates for separating particles, cells, blood samples, and molecules. From this perspective, different microfluidic-based techniques have been extensively developed in the past two decades to separate samples with different origins. In this review, "lab-on-a-chip" methods by passive, active, and hybrid approaches for the separation of biomolecules developed in the past decade are comprehensively discussed. Due to the wide variety in the field, it will be impossible to cover every facet of the subject. Therefore, this review paper covers passive and active methods generally used for biomolecule separation. Then, an investigation of the combined sophisticated methods is highlighted. The spotlight also will be shined on the elegance of separation successes in recent years, and the remainder of the article explores how these permit the development of novel techniques. This review is about the microfludic-based methods that have been used in the past two decades for the separation of different biomolecules like protein, DNA, and RNA. In this regard, passive, active, and hybrid microfludic methods that are used for biomolecules separation are disscused and reviewed in this paper.imageArticle Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7Improved Senescent Cell Segmentation on Bright-Field Microscopy Images Exploiting Representation Level Contrastive Learning(Wiley, 2024-03) Celebi, Fatma; Boyvat, Dudu; Ayaz-Guner, Serife; Tasdemir, Kasim; Icoz, KutayMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are stromal cells which have multi-lineage differentiation and self-renewal potentials. Accurate estimation of total number of senescent cells in MSCs is crucial for clinical applications. Traditional manual cell counting using an optical bright-field microscope is time-consuming and needs an expert operator. In this study, the senescence cells were segmented and counted automatically by deep learning algorithms. However, well-performing deep learning algorithms require large numbers of labeled datasets. The manual labeling is time consuming and needs an expert. This makes deep learning-based automated counting process impractically expensive. To address this challenge, self-supervised learning based approach was implemented. The approach incorporates representation level contrastive learning component into the instance segmentation algorithm for efficient senescent cell segmentation with limited labeled data. Test results showed that the proposed model improves mean average precision and mean average recall of downstream segmentation task by 8.3% and 3.4% compared to original segmentation model.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Capturing B Type Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Cells Using Two Types of Antibodies(Wiley, 2018-11-20) Icoz, Kutay; Gercek, Tayyibe; Murat, Ayseguel; Ozcan, Servet; Unal, EkremOne way to monitor minimal residual disease (MRD) is to screen cells for multiple surface markers using flow cytometry. In order to develop an alternative microfluidic based method, isolation of B type acute lymphoblastic cells using two types of antibodies should be investigated. The immunomagnetic beads coated with various antibodies are used to capture the B type acute lymphoblastic cells. Single beads, two types of beads and surface immobilized antibody were used to measure the capture efficiency. Both micro and nanosize immunomagnetic beads can be used to capture B type acute lymphoblastic cells with a minimum efficiency of 94% and maximum efficiency of 98%. Development of a microfluidic based biochip incorporating immunomagnetic beads and surface immobilized antibodies for monitoring MRD can be an alternative to current cost and time inefficient laboratory methods.
