Researches on bone defects are focused on the use of composites due to the composite and well-organized hierarchical structure of the bone. In this study, it is aimed to develop Polycaprolactone based implants with different organic DBM, HYA- and/or inorganic bioglass, calcium sulfate- compositions for augmenting bone healing. Bioactivity of the discs was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and EDS analysis after incubation in SBF for 1, 7 and 14 days. All bioglass containing groups showed apatite molecules at different incubation times. Degradation studies demonstrated that only PCL/BG/HYA discs had fast degradation upon incubations in PBS (4 and 6 weeks). Initial mechanical properties of composites were found to be directly related to the composition. However, decreases in disc mechanical properties were also obtained in the same order with the amount of water uptake at composite groups. According to biocompatibility studies investigated with cytotoxicity tests on Saos-2 cells, all groups, except the HYA involving one were found as biocompatible. After in vivo application of discs to critical size defects on rabbit humeri (for 7 weeks), their efficacy on healing was studied with computerized tomography, SEM and biomechanical tests. The results revealed that bone-implant interface formation has started for all groups with high bone densities at the interface of implant groups compared to empty defect sites of negative controls. Also the healing was suggested to be gradual from bone to implant site as microhardness values increased at regions closer to bone. However, regeneration was found to not reach to healthy bone levels.

Advancing tissue engineering by using electrospun nanofibers Ashammakhi, Nureddin; Ndreu, A.; Nikkola, L.; Wimpenny, I.; Yang, Y. (Future Medicine Ltd, 2008-07-01) Electrospinning is a versatile technique that enables the development of nanofiber-based scaffolds, from a variety of polymers that may have drug-release properties. Using nanofibers, it is now possible to produce biomimetic scaffolds that can mimic the extracellular matrix for tissue engineering. Interestingly, nanofibers can guide cell growth along their direction. Combining factors like fiber diameter, alignment and chemicals offers new ways to control tissue engineering. In vivo evaluation of nanomats i...
Biodegradable elastomers for biomedical applications and regenerative medicine Bat, Erhan; Feijen, Jan; Grijpma, Dirk W.; Poot, Andre A. (Future Medicine Ltd, 2014-05-01) Synthetic biodegradable polymers are of great value for the preparation of implants that are required to reside only temporarily in the body. The use of biodegradable polymers obviates the need for a second surgery to remove the implant, which is the case when a nondegradable implant is used. After implantation in the body, biomedical devices may be subjected to degradation and erosion. Understanding the mechanisms of these processes is essential for the development of biomedical devices or implants with a ...
Decellularized Bone Extracellular Matrix-Coated Electrospun PBAT Microfibrous Membranes with Cell Instructive Ability and Improved Bone Tissue Forming Capacity Karakaya, Ece; Erdoğan, Yaşar Kemal; Arslan, Tugba Sezgin; Arslan, Yavuz Emre; Odabaş, Sedat; Ercan, Batur; Emregül, Emel; Derkuş, Burak (2022-09-01) Current approaches to develop bone tissue engineering scaffolds have some limitations and shortcomings. They mainly suffer from combining mechanical stability and bioactivity on the same platform. Synthetic polymers are able to produce mechanically stable sturctures with fibrous morphology when they are electrospun, however, they cannot exhibit bioactivity, which is crucial for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. One current strategy to bring bioactivity in synthetic materials is to combine extrac...
Composite clinoptilolite/PCL-PEG-PCL scaffolds for bone regeneration: In vitro and in vivo evaluation Pazarçeviren, Ahmet Engin; Altunbas, Korhan; Yaprakci, Volkan; Erdemli, Ozge; Keskin, Dilek; Tezcaner, Ayşen (Wiley, 2020-01-01) In this study, clinoptilolite (CLN) was employed as a reinforcement in a polymer-based composite scaffold in bone tissue engineering and evaluated in vivo for the first time. Highly porous, mechanically stable, and osteogenic CLN/PCL-PEG-PCL (CLN/PCEC) scaffolds were fabricated with modified particulate leaching/compression molding technique with varying CLN contents. We hypothesized that CLN reinforcement in a composite scaffold will improve bone regeneration and promote repair. Therefore, the scaffolds we...
Biodegradable hydroxyapatite - Polymer composites Durucan, Caner (2001-04-01) The fracture of bone due to trauma or due to natural aging is one of the most frequent types of tissue failures. Treatment frequently requires the implantation of ct temporary or permanent prosthesis. The implanted materials may include the components of artificial joints, plates, and screws for fracture fixation. Typically, such implants are intended only to provide structural support or to serve as templates for bone re-growth. In general they are intended to remain in place for the life of the patient or...
