In this study, nanopatterned crosslinked films of collagen Type I were seeded with human microvascular endothelial cells and tested for their suitability for vascular tissue engineering. Since the films will be rolled into tubes with concentric layers of collagen, nutrient transfer through the collagen films is quite crucial. Molecular diffusivity through the collagen films, cell viability, cell proliferation and cell retention following shear stress were studied. Cells were seeded onto linearly nanogrooved films (groove widths of 332.5, 500 and 650 nm), with the grooves aligned in the direction of flow. The nanopatterns did not affect cell proliferation or initial cell alignment; however, they significantly affected cell retention under fluid flow. While cell retention on unpatterned films was 35 +/- 10%, it was 75 +/- 4% on 332.5 nm patterned films and even higher, 91 +/- 5%, on 650 nm patterned films. The films were found to have diffusion coefficients of ca. 10(-6) cm(2) s(-1) for O-2 and 4-acetaminophenol, which is comparable to that observed in natural tissues. This constitutes another positive asset of these films for consideration as a scaffold material for vascular tissue engineering. (C) 2009 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Effect of human corneal keratocytes and retinal pigment epithelial cells on the mechanical properties of micropatterned collagen films Vrana, Nihal E.; Elsheikh, Ahmed; Builles, Nicolas; Damour, Odile; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2007-10-01) Collagen-based micropatterned films were seeded with human corneal keratocyte and epithelial cells to study their mechanical properties as tissue engineering substrates. The patterns were in the form of parallel channels with slanted walls. Influence of cell presence, type and growth on the mechanical properties of the films was investigated. Unseeded films showed gradual strength reduction from an initial value of 0.046 N/mm, possibly due to degradation, down to 0.032 +/- 0.012 N/mm in 2 weeks. Keratocyte ...
Influence of co-culture on osteogenesis and angiogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and aortic endothelial cells Pekozer, Gorke Gurel; KÖSE, GAMZE; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2016-11-01) Co-culture of bone forming cells and endothelial cells to induce pre-vascularization is one of the strategies used to solve the insufficient vascularization problem in bone tissue engineering attempts. In the study, primary cells isolated from 2 different tissues of the same animal, rat bone marrow stem cells (RBMSCs) and rat aortic endothelial cells (RAECs) were co-cultured to study the effects of co-culturing on both osteogenesis and angiogenesis. The formation of tube like structure in 2D culture was obs...
Effects of oxidative functionalized and aminosilanized carbon nanotubes on the crystallization behaviour of polyamide-6 nanocomposites Kaynak, Cevdet (2014-04-01) The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of oxidative functionalized and aminosilanized carbon nanotubes on the (1) isothermal and (2) non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of polyamide-6 by DSC analyses, and (3) crystal structure of injection molded specimens by XRD analyses. Nanocomposites were compounded by using melt mixing technique via twin screw extrusion. Due to basically very effective heterogeneous nucleation effect, both increasing amount and surface functionalization of carbon nanot...
Bone tissue engineering on patterned collagen films: an in vitro study Ber, S; Kose, GT; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2005-05-01) This study aimed at guiding osteoblast cells from rat bone marrow on chemically modified and patterned collagen films to study the influence of pattern, on cell guidance. The films were stabilized using different treatment methods including crosslinking with carbodiimide (EDC) and glutaraldehyde, dehydrothermal treatment (DHT), and deposition of calcium phosphate on the collagen membrane.
Effect of column rectangularity on CFRP-strengthened RC flat plates ERDOĞAN, HAKAN; Binici, Barış; Ozcebe, Guney (2011-07-01) This study presents experimental and analytical research that focused on the behaviour of carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP)-strengthened flat-slab specimens for punching shear enhancement. Seven 0.75-scale flat-slab specimens representing interior slab-column connections with different column aspect ratios varying from 1 to 3 were tested. The results revealed that increasing column rectangularity had a detrimental effect on column punching strength of all specimens. A strength increase of at least 30% ...
