Skin tissue loss that occurs by injury and diseases can turn into chronic wounds as a result of complications alongside infection. Chronic wounds fail to heal by themselves and need advanced treatments like engineered wound dressings and regenerative scaffolds. In this study, a novel, natural origin, bilayer electrospun scaffold was produced from pullulan (PUL) and poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) biopolymers. PHBV production by Cupriavidus necator bacterial strain was optimized and produced polymer was characterized. Characteristic peaks and bands of PHBV were observed by H-NMR and FTIR analyses. Valerate mol percent of produced PHBV copolymer was determined by H-NMR. Average molecular weight of the polymer was determined by SLS technique and crystallinity of PHBV was calculated from DSC curve. Bilayer scaffold was produced by electrospinning of hydrophilic PUL fibrous membrane onto wet-electrospun hydrophobic PHBV 3D fibrous mat. Bilayer scaffold was designed to involve regenerative and barrier fibrous layers. Nano fibrous PUL membrane with smaller pore size was efficient as a barrier against bacterial transmission while enabling optimum oxygen and water vapor transmission. Water retention and degradation properties were found to be optimum for a skin tissue scaffold. In vitro studies showed that PUL membrane sustained L929 cell proliferation while preventing cells from migrating inside the barrier phase while PHBV layer supported cell viability, proliferation, and migration, creating a regenerative 3D structure. Results showed that, novel natural origin PUL/PHBV bilayer scaffold is a promising candidate for wound healing applications.

Natural origin silica reinforced dual fiber matrices for bone tissue engineering Dalgıç, Ali Deniz; Keskin, Dilek; Yazgan Karataş, Ayten; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2020-10) Graft therapy is used to treat bone tissue loss, which has drawbacks; donor scarcity, risk of disease transmission and immune reaction. Tissue engineering scaffolds can overcome these drawbacks. In this study, a 3D scaffold that will support tissue regeneration at defect site was developed using mainly natural materials. Scaffold was produced by co-electrospinning and had two distinct fiber phases; first fiber phase was produced from a bacterial origin polymer, Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (...
Development and characterization of a tissue engineered multicomponent skin substitute and a skin model Eke, Gözde; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Biotechnology (2018) The tissue engineered human skin substitute has the potential to fill large areas of skin loss caused by severe burns or chronic wounds. It can also serve as an alternative skin model to in vivo testing of drugs or cosmetic products. The aim was to construct a tissue engineered full-thickness human skin model mimicking the native tissue. To this end, this model was developed as epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue of the skin. The feasibility of the dermis layer was tested by co-culturing fibroblasts a...
A bilayer scaffold prepared from collagen and carboxymethyl cellulose for skin tissue engineering applications Bektas, Cemile Kilic; Kimiz, Ilgin; ŞENDEMİR, AYLİN; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2018-01-01) Treatment of chronic skin wound such as diabetic ulcers, burns, pressure wounds are challenging problems in the medical area. The aim of this study was to design a bilayer skin equivalent mimicking the natural one to be used as a tissue engineered skin graft for use in the treatments of problematic wounds, and also as a model to be used in research related to skin, such as determination of the efficacy of transdermal bioactive agents on skin cells and treatment of acute skin damages that require immediate r...
EGF containing gelatin-based wound dressings Ulubayram, K; Cakar, AN; Korkusuz, P; Ertan, C; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2001-06-01) In case of bulk loss of tissue or non-healing wounds such as burns, trauma, diabetic, decubitus and venous stasis ulcers, a proper wound dressing is needed to cover the wound area, protect the damaged tissue, and if possible to activate the cell proliferation and stimulate the healing process. In this study, synthesis of a novel polymeric bilayer wound dressing containing epidermal growth-factor (EGF)-loaded microspheres was aimed. For this purpose, a natural, nontoxic and biocompatible material, gelatin, w...
Topical delivery of heparin with polymeric nanoparticles on electrospun nanofibers Akolpoğlu, Duygu Deniz; Keskin, Dilek; Department of Biotechnology (2019) Skin surrounds underlying organs and preserve the body against harmful microbial, thermal and mechanical effects and skin damages may give rise to crucial disorders or even death. Therefore, skin regeneration is one of the most important issues in tissue engineering. Search on more effective biomaterials that will enhance regeneration while enabling requirements of a healing skin site is an important issue. In this study, heparin was encapsulated in poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) a...
