Periodontal regeneration is a complex healing pattern of soft and hard periodontal tissues. Recent approaches in reconstructive biology utilize mechanical, cellular or biologic mediators to facilitate reconstruction/regeneration of a particular tissue. In this study, the concept of tissue engineering was applied by using biodegradable chitosan scaffolds containing nanocapsules having different degradation rates and loaded with various growth factors (GFs). For this purpose, nanocapsules of faster degrading poly(lacticacid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and slower degrading poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) were separately loaded with bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I) and nanocapsules were incorporated into chitosan scaffolds. PLGA capsules had a particle size in the range of 190-615 nm with an average diameter of 327 nm where PHBV capsules were found to have particle size in the range of 255-712 nm with a larger mean diameter of 438 nm. The morphology of chitosan scaffolds showed a sponge-like open porous microstructure with pore size around 100-200 mu m. Human mesenchymal stem cells were used in in vitro studies. It was observed that simultaneous fast delivery of BMP-4 and PDGF led to highest proliferation rate. All cell seeded scaffolds were positive for mineralization which was determined by von Kossa staining.

Protein-based materials in load-bearing tissue-engineering applications Sayin, Esen; Baran, Erkan Turker; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2014-01-01) Proteins such as collagen and elastin are robust molecules that constitute nanocomponents in the hierarchically organized ultrastructures of bone and tendon as well as in some of the soft tissues that have load-bearing functions. In the present paper, the macromolecular structure and function of the proteins are reviewed and the potential of mammalian and non-mammalian proteins in the engineering of load-bearing tissue substitutes are discussed. Chimeric proteins have become an important structural biomater...
Alterations in zinc status and tissue structures of heparin-induced osteoporotic rabbits Turan, B; Zaloglu, N; Saran, Y; Konukseven, E; Koc, E (Dustri-Verlgag Dr. Karl Feistle, 2004-01-01) Heparin can cause some complications in tissues when it is used for long-term therapy. Besides its beneficial effects, it may have some side effects. In this study, we investigated the possible hematological and histopathological changes in rabbit tissues under long-term (1 month) and overdoses (1,000 and 2,000 IU/kg/day) heparin applications. Group 1 was injected with serum physiologic and kept as control while Groups 2 and 3 were injected with heparin as dosages of 1,000 IU/kg/day and 2,000 IU/kg/ day, re...
Preparation and characterization of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) scaffolds modified with cell-loaded fibrin gel Malikmammadov, Elbay; Endoğan Tanır, Tuğba; Kızıltay, Aysel; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2019-03-15) Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) is one of the most commonly used polymers in the production of tissue engineered scaffolds for hard tissue treatments. Incorporation of cells into these scaffolds significantly enhances the healing rate of the tissue. In this study, PCL scaffolds were prepared by wet spinning technique and modified by addition of fibrinogen in order to form a fibrin network between the PCL fibers. By this way, scaffolds would have micro and nanofibers in their structures. Drying of the wet s...
EGF containing gelatin-based wound dressings Ulubayram, K; Cakar, AN; Korkusuz, P; Ertan, C; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2001-06-01) In case of bulk loss of tissue or non-healing wounds such as burns, trauma, diabetic, decubitus and venous stasis ulcers, a proper wound dressing is needed to cover the wound area, protect the damaged tissue, and if possible to activate the cell proliferation and stimulate the healing process. In this study, synthesis of a novel polymeric bilayer wound dressing containing epidermal growth-factor (EGF)-loaded microspheres was aimed. For this purpose, a natural, nontoxic and biocompatible material, gelatin, w...
Differentiation of BMSCs into Nerve Precursor Cells on Fiber-Foam Constructs for Peripheral Nerve Tissue Engineering Dursun Usal, Tuğba; YÜCEL, DENİZ; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2018-06-01) Bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) are frequently used in nerve tissue engineering studies due to ease of their isolation and high potential for differentiation into nerve cells. A bilayer fiber-foam construct containing nanofibrous elements to house and guide BMSCs was designed as a model to study the regeneration of damaged peripheral nerve tissue and eventually serve as a nerve guide. The construct consisted of a) a macroporous bottom layer to serve as the backing and support, and for nutrient transport, and...
