A shortage of available organ donors has created a need for engineered tissues. In this context, polymer-based hydrogels that break down inside the body are often used as constructs for growth factors and cells. Herein, we report imine cross-linked gels where degradation is controllable by the introduction of mixed imine cross-links. Specifically, hydrazide-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) reacts with aldehyde-functionalized PEG (PEG-CHO) to form hydrazone linked hydrogels that degrade quickly in media. The time to degradation can be controlled by changing the structure of the hydrazide group or by introducing hydroxylamines to form nonreversible oxime linkages. Hydrogels containing adipohydrazide-functionalized PEG (PEG-ADH) and PEG-CHO were found to degrade more rapidly than gels formed from carbodihydrazide-functionalized PEG (PEG-CDH). Incorporating oxime linkages via aminooxy-functionalized PEG (PEG-AO) into the hydrazone cross-linked gels further stabilized the hydrogels. This imine cross-linking approach should be useful for modulating the degradation characteristics of 3D cell culture supports for controlled cell release.

PCL-TCP wet spun scaffolds carrying antibiotic-loaded microspheres for bone tissue engineering Malikmammadov, Elbay; Endoğan Tanır, Tuğba; Kızıltay, Aysel; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2018-01-01) Scaffolds produced for tissue engineering applications are proven to be promising alternatives to be used in healing and regeneration of injured tissues and organs. In this study, porous and fibrous poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds were prepared by wet spinning technique and modified by addition of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and by immobilizing gelatin onto fibers. Meanwhile, gelatin microspheres carrying Ceftriaxone sodium (CS), a model antibiotic, were added onto the scaffolds and antimicrobial ...
Wet spun PCL scaffolds for tissue engineering Malikmammadov, Elbay; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Endoğan Tanır, Tuğba; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2017) Scaffolds produced for tissue engineering applications are promising alternatives to be used in healing and regeneration of injured tissues and organs. In this study, fibrous poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds were prepared by wet spinning technique and modified by addition of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and by immobilizing gelatin onto fibers. Meanwhile, gelatin microspheres carrying Ceftriaxone sodium (CS), a model antibiotic, were added onto the scaffolds and antimicrobial activity of CS was investi...
Integrated biomimetic scaffolds for soft tissue engineering Güven, Sinan; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Department of Biotechnology (2006) Tissue engineering has the potential to create new tissue and organs from cultured cells for transplantation. Biodegradable and biocompatible scaffolds play a vital role in the transfer of the cultured cells to a new tissue. Various scaffolds for soft tissue engineering have been developed, however there is not any structure totally mimicking the natural extracellular matrix (ECM), ready to use. In this study biodegradable and biocompatible scaffolds were developed from natural polymers by tissue engineerin...
Advanced cell therapies with and without scaffolds Demirbag, Birsen; HURİ, PINAR; KÖSE, GAMZE; Buyuksungur, Arda; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2011-12-01) Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine aim to produce tissue substitutes to restore lost functions of tissues and organs. This includes cell therapies, induction of tissue/organ regeneration by biologically active molecules, or transplantation of in vitro grown tissues. This review article discusses advanced cell therapies that make use of scaffolds and scaffold-free approaches. The first part of this article covers the basic characteristics of scaffolds, including characteristics of scaffold material...
Metabolomics analysis of iPSCs derived organoids Sarı , Vedat; Koçak , Gamze; Reçber, Tuba; Karakülah , Gökhan; Utine , Canan Aslı; Nemutlu , Emirhan; Güven, Sinan (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10) Regenerative medicine is focused on functional restoration of a particular tissue and organs. Stem cell based miniaturized heterogenous cellular clusters named organoids, exhibit features of organ functionality, self-organization, multicellularity, and utility. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), have great potential to develop organoids of specific tissues and utilized in regenerative medicine. Organoid technologies have revolutionized the approach to human development and diseases, providing outstandi...
