Composite scaffolds prepared from natural polymers and hydroxyapatite (HA) are expected to have enhanced osteoconductive properties and as a result gained much attention in recent years for use in bone tissue-engineering applications. Although there are various natural polymers available for this purpose, chitosan (C) and gelatin (G) are commonly studied because of their inherent properties. The aim of this study was to prepare three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds using these two natural polymers and to add either non-sintered hydroxyapatite (nsHA) or sintered hydroxyapatite (sHA) to compare their influence on physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the scaffolds and on their affinities towards Saos-2 cells. For this purpose, nsHA and sHA were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and particle size analyses. Then nsHA and sHA particles, with average sizes of 16 mu m and 6 mu m, respectively, were added to the solutions of C and G during the preparation step and the resultant 3D scaffolds were characterized. Compression tests indicated that presence of nsHA or sHA increased the Young's modulus and compressive strength of the scaffolds, and the values were very similar to those of human spongy bone. MTS assays, confocal microscopy and SEM analysis showed that cell attachment and proliferation were higher on C?G/sHA composite scaffolds compared to the other scaffolds. It was shown that the scaffolds prepared from chitosan, gelatin and HA are appropriate cell carriers for bone tissue engineering, especially those with sHA incorporated.

Development of manganese-doped hydroxyapatite incorporated PCL electrospun 3D scaffolds coated with gelatin for bone tissue engineering Samiei, Alaleh; Keskin, Dilek; Evis, Zafer; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2023-1-27) Combination of polymers and bioceramics has increased their importance in bone tissue engineering (BTE) to treat various defects. Within this frame, in this thesis, it is aimed to develop a 3D gelatin-coated PCL scaffold combined with Mn-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) in order to investigate the effect of the doping element, i.e., the manganese (Mn) ion, on the structural and biological properties of the composite scaffold. Pure and Mn-doped HAs were synthesized using microwave irradiation, and the samples were ...
3D porous bioceramic based boron-doped hydroxyapatite/baghdadite composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering Jodati, Hossein; Evis, Zafer; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Alshemary, Ammar Z.; Motameni, Ali (2023-04-01) Making composite scaffolds is one of the well-known methods to improve the properties of scaffolds used in bone tissue engineering. In this study, novel ceramic-based 3D porous composite scaffolds were successfully prepared using boron-doped hydroxyapatite, as the primary component, and baghdadite, as the secondary component. The effects of making composites on the properties of boron-doped hydroxyapatite-based scaffolds were investigated in terms of physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties. T...
Investigation of bismuth doped bioglass/graphene oxide nanocomposites for bone tissue engineering Pazarçeviren, Ahmet Engin; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Keskin, Dilek; Evis, Zafer (2018-03-01) In this study, bismuth doped 45S5 nanobioactive bioglass (nBG) and graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites were developed and characterized in terms of microstructural, mechanical, bioactivity and biological properties. Bismuth (Bi) - doped nBG was synthesized by sol-gel method and sintered at 600 degrees C for 2 h. Nanosized GO was homogeneously mixed with Bi doped bioglass at various ratios to prepare nanocomposites. Addition of Bi increased the density of nBG samples while a considerable decrease in density w...
Fabrication and characterization of bilayered tissue scaffolds incorporating bioactive agents for skin tissue engineering applications Aktürk, Ömer; Keskin, Dilek; Bilici, Temel; Department of Engineering Sciences (2015) In this study, it was aimed to fabricate tissue scaffolds from different biological polymers (collagen, silk fibroin and sericin) for skin tissue engineering applications. For this purpose, bilayered scaffolds composed of epidermal (collagen/sericin films) and dermal (collagen sponges, collagen matrices or silk fibroin matrices) layers were produced with different biomaterial fabrication methods. Casting and solvent evaporation (film), lyophilization/freeze-drying (sponge) and dry/wet electro-spinning (micr...
FABRICATION AND EVALUATION OF SULFONATED POLY(ETHER ETHER KETONE) AND FLUORIDATED HYDROXYAPATITE COMPOSITE SCAFFOLDS FOR BONE TISSUE ENGINEERING Nosratinia, Ataollah; Keskin, Dilek; Evis, Zafer; Department of Biotechnology (2022-5-27) Poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK) has attracted the interest of bone tissue engineers due to its close range of mechanical properties to that of human bones, its biocompatibility, and excellent chemical resistance. However, PEEK is bioinert and has very low hydrophilicity. Sulfonation can compensate for this by introducing hydrophilic sulfonate groups. Furthermore, hydroxyapatite (HA) which is the main component of the bone, can introduce bioactivity to the scaffold. Compared to pure HA, Fluoridated hydroxya...
