Hard tissue engineering holds the promise of restoring the function of failed hard tissues and involves growing specific cells on extracellular matrix (ECM) to develop „„tissue-like” structures or organoids. Chitosan is a linear amino polysaccharide that can provide a convenient physical and biological environment in tissue regeneration attempt. To improve chitosan‟s mechanical and biological properties, it was blended with another polymer gelatin. 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) were used to crosslink the chitosan-gelatin matrix to produce stable structures. These natural polymers are mechanically weak especially to serve as a bone substitude and therefore, an inorganic calcium phosphate ceramic, hydroxyapatite, was incorporated to improve this aspect. The objective of this study was to develop chitosan-gelatin/hydroxyapatite scaffolds for a successful hard tissue engineering approach. For this reason, two types of hydroxyapatite, as-precipitated non-sintered (nsHA) and highly crystalline sintered (sHA) were synthesized and blended into mixtures of chitosan (C) and gelatin (G) v to produce 2-D (film) and 3-D (sponge) structures. The physicochemical properties of the structures were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared-Attenuated Total Reflectance spectrometer (FTIR-ATR), differential scanning calorimetry, contact angle and surface free energy measurements and swelling tests. Mechanical properties were determined through tensile and compression tests. In vitro cell affinity studies were carried out with SaOs-2 cells. MTS assays were carried out to study cell attachment and proliferation on the 2-D and 3-D scaffolds. Several methods such as confocal, fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy were used to examine the cell response towards the scaffolds. Cell affinities of the samples were observed to change with changing chitosan-gelatin ratio and hydroxyapatite addition into the matrices. XRD and FTIR results confirmed the purity of the hydroxyapatite synthesized. Mechanical test results showed that 2-D and 3-D chitosan-gelatin/hydroxyapatite constructs have similar properties as bones, and in vitro studies demonstrated that the prepared matrices have the potential to serve as scaffold materials in hard tissue engineering applications.

Kitosan-jelatin yapıların doku mühendisliği amaçlı 2-d ve 3-d hazırlanması,karakterizasyonu ve biyouyumluluk özelliklerinin incelenmesi
Işıklı, Cansel; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Küçükturhan, Aysu(2010)
Doku mühendisliği, zarar görmüş ve işlevini yerine getiremeyen doku ve organlara destek vermek, gerekirse tamamen yerini almak ve onların fonksiyonlarını yeniden kazanmasını sağlamak üzere, hücre dışı yapay bir yapı üzerinde belli hücrelerin büyütülmesi ile doku-benzeri organsı yapılar geliştirmek ve onları vücuda yerleştirmek temeline dayanır. Hasarlı doku bölgesine destek olmak amacıyla çeşitli polimerler ve özellikle doğal polimerler büyük önem taşımaktadır. Doğal bir polimer olan kitosan, lineer amino p...
Fabrication and cellular interactions of nanoporous tantalum oxide
Uslu, Ece; Garipcan, Bora; Ercan, Batur (Wiley, 2020-10-01)
Tantalum possesses remarkable chemical and mechanical properties, and thus it is considered to be one of the next generation implant materials. However, the biological properties of tantalum remain to be improved for its use in tissue engineering applications. To enhance its cellular interactions, implants made of tantalum could be modified to obtain nanofeatured surfaces via the electrochemical anodization process. In this study, anodization parameters were adjusted to obtain a nanoporous surface morpholog...
Fabrication of functionalized citrus pectin/silk fibroin scaffolds for skin tissue engineering
Türkkan, Sibel; Atila, Deniz; Akdağ, Akın; Tezcaner, Ayşen (Wiley, 2018-10-01)
In this study, novel porous three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds from silk fibroin (SF) and functionalized (amidated and oxidized) citrus pectin (PEC) were developed for skin tissue engineering applications. Crosslinking was achieved by Schiff's reaction in borax presence as crosslinking coordinating agent and CaCl2 addition. After freeze-drying and methanol treatment, plasma treatment (10 W, 3 min) was applied to remove surface skin layer formed on scaffolds. 3D matrices had high porosity (83%) and interconnec...
Development of electrically conductive porous silk fibroin/CNF scaffolds.
Tufan, Yiğithan; Garipcan, B; Ercan, B (IOP Publishing, 2020-10-22)
Tissue engineering applications typically require 3D scaffolds which provide requisite surface area for cellular functions, while allowing nutrient, waste and oxygen transportation with the surrounding tissues. Concurrently, scaffolds should ensure sufficient mechanical properties to provide mechanically stable frameworks under physiologically relevant stress levels. In the meantime, electrically conductive platforms are also desired for the regeneration of specific tissues, where electrical impulses are tr...
Development of a calcium phosphate-gelatin composite as a bone substitute and its use in drug release
Yaylaoglu, MB; Korkusuz, P; Ors, U; Korkusuz, F; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (1999-04-01)
This study was carried out to develop a calcium phosphate-gelatin composite implant that would mimic the structure and function of bone for use in filling voids or gaps and to release bioactive compounds like drugs, growth hormones into the implant site to assist healing. XDS analysis of the synthesized calcium phosphate revealed a calcium to phosphorus molar ratio of ca. 2.30, implying a less erodible material than hydroxyapatite (1.67). Release of the antibiotic gentamicin from the implant was with a burs...
