Surface roughness and energy significantly influence protein adsorption on to biomaterials, which, in turn, controls select cellular adhesion to determine the success and longevity of an implant. To understand these relationships at a fundamental level, a model was originally proposed by Khang et al to correlate nanoscale surface properties (specifically, nanoscale roughness and energy) to protein adsorption, which explained the greater cellular responses on nanostructured surfaces commonly reported in the literature today. To test this model for different surfaces from what was previously used to develop that model, in this study we synthesized highly ordered poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) surfaces of identical chemistry but altered nanoscale surface roughness and energy using poly(dimethylsiloxane) molds of polystyrene beads. Fibronectin and collagen type IV adsorption studies showed a linear adsorption behavior as the surface nanoroughness increased. This supported the general trends observed by Khang et al. However, when fitting such data to the mathematical model established by Khang et al, a strong correlation did not result. Thus, this study demonstrated that the equation proposed by Khang et al to predict protein adsorption should be modified to accommodate for additional nanoscale surface property contributions (ie, surface charge) to make the model more accurate. In summary, results from this study provided an important step in developing future mathematical models that can correlate surface properties (such as nanoscale roughness and surface energy) to initial protein adsorption events important to promote select cellular adhesion. These criteria are critical for the fundamental understanding of the now well-documented increased tissue growth on nanoscale materials.

Anodized 20 nm diameter nanotubular titanium for improved bladder stent applications Alpaslan, Ece; Ercan, Batur; Webster, Thomas J. (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) Materials currently used for bladder applications often suffer from incomplete coverage by urothelial cells (cells that line the interior of the bladder and ureter) which leads to the continuous exposure of the underlying materials aggravating an immune response. In particular, a ureteral (or sometimes called an ureteric or bladder) stent is a thin tube inserted into the ureter to prevent or treat obstruction of urine flow from the kidney. The main complications with ureteral stents are infection and blocka...
Decreased Staphylococcus aureus and increased osteoblast density on nanostructured electrophoretic-deposited hydroxyapatite on titanium without the use of pharmaceuticals Mathew, Dennis; Bhardwaj, Garima; Wang, Qi; Sun, Linlin; Ercan, Batur; Geetha, Manisavagam; Webster, Thomas J. (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-01) Background: Plasma-spray deposition of hydroxyapatite on titanium (Ti) has proven to be a suboptimal solution to improve orthopedic-implant success rates, as demonstrated by the increasing number of orthopedic revision surgeries due to infection, implant loosening, and a myriad of other reasons. This could be in part due to the high heat involved during plasma-spray deposition, which significantly increases hydroxyapatite crystal growth into the nonbiologically inspired micron regime. There has been a push ...
Synthesis of 2-aziridinyl phosphonates by modified Gabriel-Cromwell reaction and their antibacterial activities Doğan, Özdemir; Gözen, Ayşe Gül (Elsevier BV, 2011-06-01) A set of new aziridinyl phosphonates (4a-g) were synthesized by using the Gabriel-Cromwell reaction and its modified version developed in this study and their structures confirmed by HRMS, IR. and NMR spectra. All the compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity. They all showed comparable moderate to good growth inhibitory activity in reference to ampicillin and streptomycin.

Investigation of the role of programmed cell death 10 (PDCD10) protein in multidrug resistance Urfalı Mamatoğlu, Çağrı; Gündüz, Ufuk; Department of Biology (2018) Drug resistance, a major obstacle in chemotherapy, is the sum of several cellular alterations including resistance to induction of apoptosis. Apoptosis is a well-regulated cell death mechanism which is controlled by several signaling pathways and a vast number of proteins. Alterations in the proteins involved in the apoptotic regulation have been associated with drug resistance in cancer. Programmed Cell Death 10 (PDCD10) protein is a novel apoptotic regulator that is recently linked to the modulation of ce...
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...
