Porous poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid-co-3-hydroxyvaleric acid) (PHBV) and calcium phosphate-loaded collagen (CaP-Gelfix) foams were seeded with rat bone marrow stromal cells and implanted into defects created in rat femurs to study in vivo bone formation and to test their suitability for use in bone tissue engineering. At 3 and 6 weeks, new bone formation was evaluated by macroscopy, radiography, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and quantitative computerized tomography (QCT). Atomic contents of the implants were further assessed by QCT. Some initial inflammation that significantly decreased with time was observed in the CaP-Gelfix group. PHBV inflammation was minimal at all stages. Fibrous tissue formation in the CaP-Gelfix group was more than in the PHBV group. Both cell-loaded and cell-free PHBV matrices elicited minimal fibrous tissue formation during the 6-week implantation duration. Macroscopic and radiological studies demonstrated better healing with PHBV matrices than with CaP-Gelfix in 3 weeks. Histologically, fibrous connective tissue establishment and inflammation scores were significantly higher in the CaP-Gelfix group when compared with the PHBV group at both time intervals. At 6 weeks, however, the extent of healing was almost the same with both implants. DEXA and QCT results indicated that there was an increase in bone mineral density in both PHBV and CaP-Gelfix implants at the end of 6 weeks. This study suggests that even though PHBV and CaP-Gelfix have different bulk and surface chemistries they both are promising cell carriers that may be suitable for use in bone tissue engineering.

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...
Growth factor loaded silk fibroin/PEGDMA hydrogels for articular cartilage tissue engineering Fathi Achachelouei, Milad; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Engin Vrana, Nihal; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2018) The aim of this study was to develop bFGF and TGF-β1 loaded polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) containing dimethacrylated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGDMA)/silk fibroin hydrogels as scaffolds for regeneration of the cartilage tissue. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared with double emulsion-solvent evaporation technique. The effect of different excipients (poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (PetOx), heparin and Kolliphor P 188) on the entrapment efficienc...
Poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid-co-3-hydroxyvaleric acid) based tissue engineering matrices Kose, GT; Ber, S; Korkusuz, Feza; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2003-02-01) In this study, the aim was to produce tissue-engineered bone using osteoblasts and a novel matrix material, poly(3-hydroxybutyric acid-co-3-hydroxyvaleric acid) (PHBV). In order to prepare a porous PHBV matrix with uniform pore size, sucrose crystals were loaded in the foam and then leached leaving pores behind. The surface of the PHBV matrix was treated with rf-oxygen plasma to increase the surface hydrophilicity. SEM examination of the PHBV matrices was carried out. Stability of PHBV foams in aqueous medi...
Gentamicin release from a hydroxyapatite - Gelatin composite Yaylaoglu, MB; Korkusuz, Feza; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (1997-05-01) This study was carried out to develop a calcium phosphate-gelatin composite implant that would mimic the structure and function of bone to fill voids or gaps as well as to release bioactive compounds like drugs, hormones, etc to help tissue repair. XDS analysis of the calcium phosphate prepared revealed a calcium to phosphorus ratio of 2.30, which is significantly higher than that found in hydroxyapatite. Crystallisation of calcium phosphate within gelatin membrane also yielded a similar composition. The di...
Antibacterial Nanostructured Polyhydroxybutyrate Membranes for Guided Bone Regeneration Karahaliloglu, Zeynep; Ercan, Batur; Taylor, Erik N.; Chung, Stanley; DENKBAŞ, EMİR BAKİ; Webster, Thomas J. (2015-12-01) The principle of guided bone regeneration (GBR) in orthopedic, cranio-maxillofacial and dental tissue engineering applications is to create a secluded space for the treatment of large bone defects while excluding fibrous connective tissue formation at the defect area. In dental surgeries, a GBR membrane is placed near the dental implant in post-extraction sockets to grow new bone at the implant site, along with inhibiting infection due to the microbial nature of the mouth flora. Poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyric ac...
