Tendon injuries are a significant part of musculoskeletal wounds. Even though tendon wound healing mechanisms provide regeneration after injuries, reduced function of the tendon usually occurs due to limitations of the native healing mechanism. Tendon tissue engineering (TTE) is proposed to repair the injured tendon by a scaffold integrated with biological factors. Therefore, aim of this thesis was to design 3D scaffold, by combining healthy and wounded extracellular matrix (ECM) structure of the tendon, together with stem cells and growth factor. 3D scaffolds were produced by Wet electrospun unaligned poly-ε-caprolactone (ESPCL) or PCL-Gelatin (ESPCL-Gel) fibers to mimic wounded ECM structure of tendon wrapped by aligned poly-ε-caprolactone fibers (FSPCL) produced by Rotary jet spinning to mimic healthy ECM structure of tendon. ESPCL or ESPCL-GeL fibers within FSPCL fibers not only improved the mechanical properties of 3D scaffolds but also provided better attachment and viability of fibroblasts. Furthermore, cell alignment was observed for all groups. Moreover, ESPCL-GeL in FSPCL scaffold showed higher fibroblast attachment and viability. Consequently, FSPCL/ESPCL-Gel scaffold was considered as the most suitable scaffold for TTE. Then, human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (HADMSCs) on FSPCL/ESPCL-Gel scaffold were induced with different concentration of growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF-5). The results revealed that HADMSCs with 100 ng/ mL of GDF-5 showed better proliferation, tenogenic differentiation, hydroxyproline production. As a conclusion, FSPCL/ESPCL-Gel 3D scaffold integrated with ADMSCs and GDF-5 showed promising results for TTE applications.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Nano-Bioceramics for Bone Regeneration Kankilic, Berna; Kose, Sevil; KORKUSUZ, PETEK; Timucin, Muharrem; Korkusuz, Feza (2016-01-01) Orthopedic disorders and trauma usually result in bone loss. Bone grafts are widely used to replace this tissue. Bone grafts excluding autografts unfortunately have disadvantages like evoking immune response, contamination and rejection. Autografts are of limited sources and optimum biomaterials that can replace bone have been searched for several decades. Bioceramics, which have the similar inorganic structure of natural bone, are widely used to regenerate bone or coat metallic implants. As people continuo...
Development and characterization of (carbonated) hydroxyapatite, akermanite involving polycaprolactone scaffolds Altunordu, Gerçem; Keskin, Dilek; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2019) Bone tissue loss or damage can occur due to accidents, injuries and diseases (osteomyelitis, osteosarcaoma, osteoporosis, etc.). Bone tissue engineering (BTE) aims to develop biomaterials that enhance the regeneration of bone tissue. Therefore, scaffolds for BTE should be biocompatible and bioactive; enabling strong communication with bone tissue. Bioceramics are a group of biomaterials that resemble to native bone mineral and improve bioactivity of BTE scaffolds. Considering these hydroxyapatite (HA), carb...
Analysis of whiplash during rear crash and development of an anti-whiplash seat mechanism Özdemir, Mustafa; İder, Sıtkı Kemal; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) Whiplash injury is one of the most important types of injuries when its resulting longterm pain is considered. This neck injury is frequently seen in the motor vehicle collisions, especially in the low-speed rear collisions. In this thesis, it is aimed to analyze the whiplash syndrome in low-speed rear-end impacts and develop an antiwhiplash seat mechanism that reduces the risk of occurrence of whiplash injuries. Firstly, using the commercially available finite element model of the BioRID II dummy, backset ...
Analysis of the effects of vancomycin containing bioceramic/polymer composites on biofilm prevention, biocompatibility and osteogenic modification of mesenchymal stem cells Kankılıç, Berna; Bayramlı, Erdal; Korkusuz, Feza; Department of Biotechnology (2015) Osteomyelitis is a difficult to treat bone infection. In clinic, osteomyelitis is treated with surgical debridement followed by the antibiotic therapy. But, due to the low blood circulation in the infection area and the production of an exopolysaccharide, biofilm, by the pathogen violence the treatment. Therefore local drug delivery systems are generated. These systems transmit the effective dose to the infection area without any toxic effects. In this study, vancomycin containing PDLLA/β-TCP and PLGA/β-TCP...
Local delivery of bioactive agents for bone tissue engineering Alissa Alam, Hani; Keskin, Dilek; Özen, Can; Department of Biotechnology (2017) Many cases of bone defects require bone grafts addition into the body. Bone tissue substitutes have more advantages over other bone grafts because of low infection risk and abundance of materials. Local delivery of drugs or bioactive agents can help in these diseases’ treatments and bone growth overall while avoiding side effects or drug interference. To accelerate local bone regrowth, a research about developing a controlled local release system of bioactive agents to bone cells was conducted in this study...
