Barrier membranes are used in periodontal tissue engineering for successful neo-bone tissue formation and prevention of bacterial colonization. We aimed to prepare and characterize novel 7% boron-modified bioactive glass (7B-BG) containing bilayered membrane for this end. We hypothesized that presence of 7B-BG could promote structural and biological properties of guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane. Cellulose acetate (CA) layer was prepared by solvent casting, and functionally graded layer of CA/gelatin/BG nanoparticles was prepared by electrospinning. 0B-BG, and 7B-BG were synthesized by quick alkali-mediated sol-gel method and were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform Raman spectroscopy. Membranes were cross-linked with glutaraldehyde to preserve their stability. SEM analysis showed the asymmetric nature of membranes consisting of a smooth membrane layer and a rough surface composed of 0B-BG and 7B-BG containing nanofibres. 7B-BG addition increased surface wettability (from 110.5 degrees +/- 0.8 to 73.46 degrees +/- 7.6) and biodegradability of the membranes. Additionally, a significant increase in Ca-P layer formation was observed in 7B-BG containing group after 1-week incubation in stimulated body fluid. 7B-BG incorporation resulted in a decrease in tensile strength and Young's modulus values. Human dental pulp stem cells showed better attachment, spreading, and proliferation on 7B-BG containing bilayered membranes. Osteogenic differentiation analysis revealed higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme activity of cells (~1.5-fold), higher intracellular calcium deposition (approximately twofold), and higher calcium deposition revealed by Alizarin red staining on 7B-BG containing bilayered membranes. Overall, results suggested that functionally graded bilayered membranes hold potential for GBR applications in regenerative dentistry.

Development of a UV crosslinked biodegradable hydrogel containing adipose derived stem cells to promote vascularization for skin wounds and tissue engineering
Eke, Gozde; Mangir, Naside; Hasırcı, Nesrin; MacNeil, Sheila; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2017-06-01)
The aim of this study was to design a dermal substitute containing adipose derived stem cells (ADSC) that can be used to improve the regeneration of skin on difficult wound beds by stimulating rapid neovascularization. This was achieved by first synthesizing methacrylated gelatin (GeIMA) and methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HAMA) precursors which could be stored at -80 degrees C after lyophilisation. Polymer precursors were then dissolved in media (in 15:1 ratio), ADSCs added together with the photoinitiator ...
Development of manganese-doped hydroxyapatite incorporated PCL electrospun 3D scaffolds coated with gelatin for bone tissue engineering
Samiei, Alaleh; Keskin, Dilek; Evis, Zafer; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2023-1-27)
Combination of polymers and bioceramics has increased their importance in bone tissue engineering (BTE) to treat various defects. Within this frame, in this thesis, it is aimed to develop a 3D gelatin-coated PCL scaffold combined with Mn-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) in order to investigate the effect of the doping element, i.e., the manganese (Mn) ion, on the structural and biological properties of the composite scaffold. Pure and Mn-doped HAs were synthesized using microwave irradiation, and the samples were ...
Investigations on the biodegradable polymeric and inorganic substrates for controlled drug delivery and bone and cartilage repair
Günay, Aycan; Bayramlı, Erdal; Department of Polymer Science and Technology (2008)
Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that seeks to address the needs by applying the principles of chemistry, biology and engineering for the development of viable substitutes that restore and maintain the function of human bone and cartilage tissues. In tissue engineering, scaffolds play an important role as temporary supports for the transplantation of specific cells and tissues. In this study, poly(ester-urethane)urea (PEUU) and poly(caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds were fabricated. Scaffolds we...
Development of electrically conductive porous silk fibroin/carbon nanofiber scaffolds
Tufan, Yiğithan; Ercan, Batur; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2020-8)
Tissue engineering applications typically require porous scaffolds which provide requisite surface area for cellular functions, while allowing nutrient, waste and oxygen transport with the surrounding tissues. Concurrently, scaffolds should ensure sufficient mechanical properties to provide mechanically stable frameworks under physiologically relevant stress levels. Furthermore, electrically conductive platforms are also desired for the regeneration of specific tissues, where electrical impulses are transmi...
Development and analysis of controlled release polymeric rods containing vancomycin
Tağıt, Oya; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Department of Biotechnology (2005)
Antibiotic use is a vital method for the treatment of most diseases involving bacterial infections. Unfortunately, in certain cases these agents are not effective in treatments against diseases for either some limitation in antibiotic usage because of the side effects or some distribution problems caused by physiological or pathological barriers in the body. Such problems are thought to be minimized by development of controlled release systems which involve implantation of antibiotic loaded polymeric system...
