We report the use of free-standing, ultra-thin polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes, called CellDrum, as cell culture substrates for an in vitro wound model. Dermal fibroblast monolayers from 28- and 88-year-old donors were cultured on CellDrums. By using stainless steel balls, circular cell-free areas were created in the cell layer (wounding). Sinusoidal strain of 1 Hz, 5\% strain, was applied to membranes for 30 min in 4 sessions. The gap circumference and closure rate of un-stretched samples (controls) and stretched samples were monitored over 4 days to investigate the effects of donor age and mechanical strain on wound closure. A significant decrease in gap circumference and an increase in gap closure rate were observed in trained samples from younger donors and control samples from older donors. In contrast, a significant decrease in gap closure rate and an increase in wound circumference were observed in the trained samples from older donors. Through these results, we propose the model of a cell monolayer on stretchable CellDrums as a practical tool for wound healing research. The combination of biomechanical cell loading in conjunction with analyses such as gene/protein expression seems promising beyond the scope published here.}, language = {en} } @article{UysalCreutzFiratetal.2022, author = {Uysal, Karya and Creutz, Till and Firat, Ipek Seda and Artmann, Gerhard and Teusch, Nicole and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l}, title = {Bio-functionalized ultra-thin, large-area and waterproof silicone membranes for biomechanical cellular loading and compliance experiments}, series = {Polymers}, volume = {14}, journal = {Polymers}, number = {11}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2073-4360}, pages = {2213}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Biocompatibility, flexibility and durability make polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes top candidates in biomedical applications. CellDrum technology uses large area, <10 µm thin membranes as mechanical stress sensors of thin cell layers. For this to be successful, the properties (thickness, temperature, dust, wrinkles, etc.) must be precisely controlled. The following parameters of membrane fabrication by means of the Floating-on-Water (FoW) method were investigated: (1) PDMS volume, (2) ambient temperature, (3) membrane deflection and (4) membrane mechanical compliance. Significant differences were found between all PDMS volumes and thicknesses tested (p < 0.01). They also differed from the calculated values. At room temperatures between 22 and 26 °C, significant differences in average thickness values were found, as well as a continuous decrease in thicknesses within a 4 °C temperature elevation. No correlation was found between the membrane thickness groups (between 3-4 µm) in terms of deflection and compliance. We successfully present a fabrication method for thin bio-functionalized membranes in conjunction with a four-step quality management system. The results highlight the importance of tight regulation of production parameters through quality control. The use of membranes described here could also become the basis for material testing on thin, viscous layers such as polymers, dyes and adhesives, which goes far beyond biological applications.}, language = {en} } @article{TrzewikTemizArtmannLinderetal.2004, author = {Trzewik, J{\"u}rgen and Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l and Linder, Peter and Demirci, T. and Digel, Ilya and Artmann, Gerhard}, title = {Evaluation of lateral mechanical tension in thin-film tissue constructs}, series = {Annals of Biomedical Engineering. 32 (2004), H. 9}, journal = {Annals of Biomedical Engineering. 32 (2004), H. 9}, isbn = {1573-9686}, pages = {1243 -- 1251}, year = {2004}, language = {en} } @article{TemizArtmannKurulgandemirciFıratetal.2021, author = {Temiz Artmann, Ayseg{\"u}l and Kurulgan demirci, Eylem and F{\i}rat, Ipek Seda and Oflaz, Hakan and Artmann, Gerhard}, title = {Recombinant activated protein C (rhAPC) affects lipopolysaccharide-induced mechanical compliance changes and beat frequency of mESC-derived cardiomyocyte monolayers}, series = {SHOCK}, journal = {SHOCK}, publisher = {Wolters Kluwer}, address = {K{\"o}ln}, issn = {1540-0514}, doi = {10.1097/SHK.0000000000001845}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{StadlerZerlinDigeletal.2008, author = {Stadler, Andreas M. and Zerlin, Kay and Digel, Ilya and B{\"u}ldt, Georg and Zaccai, Guiseppe and Artmann, Gerhard}, title = {Dynamics and interactions of hemoglobin in red blood cells}, series = {Tissue Engineering Part A. 14 (2008), H. 5}, journal = {Tissue Engineering Part A. 14 (2008), H. 5}, isbn = {1937-3341}, pages = {724 -- 724}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{StadlerGarveyBocahutetal.2012, author = {Stadler, Andreas M. and Garvey, G.

The experimental results from Hb solutions revealed a direct correlation between protein resilience, melting temperature and average body temperature of the different species on the 0.1 ns time scale. Molecular forces appeared to be adapted to permit conformational fluctuations with a root mean square displacement close to 1.2 {\AA} at the corresponding average body temperature of the endotherms. Strong forces within crocodile Hb maintain the amplitudes of motion within a narrow limit over the entire temperature range in which the animal lives. In fully hydrated powder samples of human and chicken, Hb mean square displacements and effective force constants on the 1 ns time scale showed no differences over the whole temperature range from 10 to 300 K, in contrast to the solution case. A complementary result of the study, therefore, is that one hydration layer is not sufficient to activate all conformational fluctuations of Hb in the pico- to nanosecond time scale which might be relevant for biological function. Coarse-grained Brownian dynamics simulations permitted to explore residue-specific effects. They indicated that temperature sensing of human and chicken Hb occurs mainly at residues lining internal cavities in the β-subunits.}, language = {en} } @article{StadlerEmbsDigeletal.2008, author = {Stadler, Andreas M. and Embs, Jan P. and Digel, Ilya and Artmann, Gerhard and Unruh, Tobias and B{\"u}ldt, Georg and Zaccai, Guiseppe}, title = {Cytoplasmic water and hydration layer dynamics in human red blood cells}, series = {Journal of the American Chemical Society. 50 (2008), H. 130}, journal = {Journal of the American Chemical Society. 50 (2008), H. 130}, isbn = {1520-5126}, pages = {16852 -- 16853}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{StadlerDigelEmbsetal.2009, author = {Stadler, Andreas M. and Digel, Ilya and Embs, Jan P. and Unruh, Tobias and Tehei, M. and Zaccai, G. and B{\"u}ldt, G. and Artmann, Gerhard}, title = {From powder to solution : Hydration dependence of human hemoglobin dynamics correlated to body temperature}, series = {Biophysical Journal. 96 (2009), H. 12}, journal = {Biophysical Journal. 96 (2009), H. 12}, publisher = {Cell Press}, address = {Cambridge, Mass.}, isbn = {0006-3495}, pages = {5073 -- 5081}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{StadlerGarveyEmbsetal.2014, author = {Stadler, Alexander Maximilian and Garvey, Christopher J. and Embs, Jan Peter and Koza, Michael Marek and Unruh, Tobias and Artmann, Gerhard and Zaccai, Guiseppe}, title = {Picosecond dynamics in haemoglobin from different species: A quasielastic neutron scattering study}, series = {Biochimica et biophysica acta (BBA): General Subjects}, volume = {1840}, journal = {Biochimica et biophysica acta (BBA): General Subjects}, number = {10}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1872-8006 (E-Journal); 0304-4165 (Print)}, doi = {10.1016/j.bbagen.2014.06.007}, pages = {2989 -- 2999}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @article{StadlerDigelArtmannetal.2008, author = {Stadler, A.
