In this study, gelatin based biodegradable scaffolds (GS) containing various amounts of epidermal growth factor (EGF) were prepared and applied to full skin defects created on rats in order to investigate the EGF dose effect on healing process. Scaffolds were prepared by freeze drying technique and stabilized with either glutaraldehyde (GA) or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDAC). In vitro cytotoxicity of the prepared scaffolds was assessed by using human skin fibroblast secondary culture (HS2). Scaffolds crosslinked with GA which showed no cytotoxicity in vitro were selected for in vivo applications, loaded with different amounts of EGF (1 mu g, 5 mu g or 10 mu g per cm(3) of scaffold) and were applied onto full skin defects created on rats. Decrease in the wound size and level of reepithelization were examined and the results showed that, all scaffolds, with or without EGF, demonstrated a potential to enhance wound healing. Healing process became faster and better parallel to the dose of EGF present in the scaffolds. Although wounds demonstrated better and faster healing parallel to the EGF content, the dose should be optimized through examining the effects in molecular level before any clinical application.

Sustained local application of low-dose epidermal growth factor on steroid-inhibited colonic wound healing Sakallioglu, AE; Yagmurlu, A; Dindar, H; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Renda, N; Deveci, MS (2004-04-01) Background/Purpose: The effects of locally administered low-dose epidermal growth factor in a steroid-inhibited wound healing were investigated in a rat model.
Nanofeatured silk fibroin membranes for dermal wound healing applications Karahaliloglu, Zeynep; Ercan, Batur; DENKBAŞ, EMİR BAKİ; Webster, Thomas J. (2015-01-01) As an effort to create the next generation of improved skin graft materials, in this study, we modified the surfaces of a previously investigated material, silk fibroin, using a NaOH alkaline treatment to obtain a biologically inspired nanofeatured surface morphology. Such surfaces were characterized for roughness, energy, and chemistry. In addition, keratinocyte (skin-forming cells) adhesion and proliferation on such nanofeatured silk fibroin wound dressings were studied in an initial attempt to determine ...
Collagen scaffolds with in situ-grown calcium phosphate for osteogenic differentiation of Wharton's jelly and menstrual blood stem cells Karadas, Ozge; Yucel, Deniz; Kenar, Halime; Kose, Gamze Torun; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2014-07-01) The aim of this research was to investigate the osteogenic differentiation potential of non-invasively obtained human stem cells on collagen nanocomposite scaffolds with in situ-grown calcium phosphate crystals. The foams had 70% porosity and pore sizes varying in the range 50-200 mu m. The elastic modulus and compressive strength of the calcium phosphate containing collagen scaffolds were determined to be 234.5 kPa and 127.1 kPa, respectively, prior to in vitro studies. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) obtain...
Epidermal growth factor-containing wound closure enhances wound healing in non-diabetic and diabetic rats Dogan, S.; DEMİRER, SEHER; Kepenekci, I.; Erkek, B.; Kızıltay, Aysel; Hasırcı, Nesrin; MÜFTÜOĞLU, SEVDA FATMA; Nazikoglu, A.; Renda, N.; Dincer, U. D.; ELHAN, ATİLLA HALİL; Kuterdem, E. (2009-04-01) Background: This study was designed to elucidate the in vivo efficacy of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on wound healing in non diabetic and diabetic rats.
DEVELOPMENT OF 3D PRINTED PECTIN AND GELATIN BASED BIOACTIVE SKIN GRAFTS Bostancı, Nazlı Seray; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Biotechnology (2021-8-10) The aim of this study was to develop an easily applicable and bioactive skin graft composed of methacrylated pectin (PeMA) and methacrylated gelatin (GelMA), containing curcumin and/or Vitamin-C as antimicrobial and healing accelerating agents, respectively. Grafts were prepared in slab, 3D printed and 3D bioprinted forms and different properties were evaluated. Preparation parameters were optimized using slabs having different compositions (PeMA:GelMA as P:G 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3, v/v). P1:G1 solution did not h...
