In this study a tissue engineering scaffold was constructed from poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) to study the influence of strain on cell proliferation and differentiation. The effect of surface chemistry and topography on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was also investigated. Micropatterned pNIPAM films (channels with 10 mu m groove width, 2 mu m ridge width, 20 mu m depth) were prepared by photo-polymerization. The films were chemically modified by adsorption of a genetically engineered and temperature sensitive elastin-like protein (ELP). Dynamic conditions were generated by repeated temperature changes between 29 degrees C and 37 degrees C. ELP presence on the films enhanced initial cell attachment two fold (Day 1 cell number on films with ELP and without ELP were 27.6 x 10(4) and 13.2 x 10(4). respectively) but had no effect on proliferation in the long run. ELP was crucial for maintaining the cells attached on the surface in dynamic culturing (Day 7 cell numbers on the films with and without ELP were 81.4 x 10(4) and 12.1 x 10(4), respectively) and this enhanced the ability of pNIPAM films to transfer mechanical stress on the cells. Dynamic conditions improved cell proliferation (Day 21 cell numbers with dynamic and with static groups were 180.4 x 10(4) and 157.7 x 10(4), respectively) but decreased differentiation (Day 14 specific ALP values on the films of static and dynamic groups were 6.6 and 3.5 nmol/min/cell, respectively). Thus, a physically and chemically modified pNIPAM scaffold had a positive influence on the population of the scaffolds under dynamic culture conditions.

Sequential growth factor delivery from complexed microspheres for bone tissue engineering Basmanav, F. Buket; KÖSE, GAMZE; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2008-11-01) Aim of the study was to design a 3D tissue-engineering scaffold capable of sequentially delivering two bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP). The novel delivery system consisted of microspheres of polyelectrolyte complexes of poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (P4VN) and alginic acid loaded with the growth factors BMP-2 and BMP-7 which themselves were loaded into the scaffolds constructed of PLGA. Microspheres carrying the growth factors were prepared using polyelectrolyte solutions with different concentrations (4-10%) to...
Free standing layer-by-layer films of polyethyleneimine and poly(l-lysine) for potential use in corneal stroma engineering Altay, Gizem; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Khademhosseini, Ali; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2011) In this study we fabricated free standing multilayer films of polyelectrolyte complexes for potential use in tissue engineering of corneal stroma by using the layer-by-layer (LbL) approach. In the formation of these LbL films negatively charged, photocrosslinkable (methacrylated) hyaluronic acid (MA-HA) was used along with polycations polyethyleneimine (PEI) and poly(L-lysine) (PLL). Type I collagen (Col) was blended in with PLL for improving the water absorption and cell attachment properties of the films....
Sequential BMP-2/BMP-7 delivery from polyester nanocapsules Yilgor, P.; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2010-05-01) The aim of this study was to develop a nanosized, controlled growth factor release system to incorporate into tissue engineering scaffolds and thus activate the cells seeded in the scaffold. Nanocapsules of poly(lactic acid-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) were loaded with the bone morphogenetic proteins BMP-2 and BMP-7, respectively, and with bovine serum albumin (BSA), the model protein. BSA-loading efficiency and release kinetics were used to determine the ...
Transient dynamic response of viscoelastic cylinders enclosed in filament wound cylindrical composites Şen, Özge; Turhan, Doğan; Department of Engineering Sciences (2005) In this study, transient dynamic response of viscoelastic cylinders enclosed in filament wound cylindrical composites is investigated. Thermal effects, in addition to mechanical effects, are taken into consideration. A generalized thermoelasticity theory which incorporates the temperature rate among the constitutive variables and is referred to as temperature-rate dependent thermoelasticity theory is employed. This theory predicts finite heat propagation speeds. The body considered in this thesis consists o...
GENERATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HYDROGEL MICRODROPLETS AS BIOINK FOR BIOPRINTING APPLICATIONS Sucularlı, Ferah; Yıldırım, Ender; Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir (null; 2019-04-11) In this study, we present a technique for generation of hydrogel microdroplets as bioink for droplet deposition of tissues and organs. We also characterized the size and dispersion of the microdroplets. For this purpose, we designed a flow-focusing droplet generator chip in which uncured hydrogel flowing through a 120 µm wide channel was pinched at two sides of the stream of oil flowing along 300 µm wide channels. The chip was fabricated by ultrasonically embossing the features on polymethylmethacrylate (PM...
