Immersion of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofiber mats in calcium phosphate solutions similar to simulated body fluid resulted in deposition of biomimetic calcium phosphate layer on the nanofibers and thus a highly bioactive novel scaffold has been developed for bone tissue engineering. Coatings with adequate integrity, favorable chemistry and morphology were achieved in less than 6 h of immersion. In the coating solutions, use of lower concentrations of phosphate sources with respect to the literature values (i.e., 3.62 vs. 10 mM) was substantiated by a thermodynamic modeling approach. Recipe concentration combinations that were away from the calculated dicalcium phosphate phase stability region resulted in micron-sized calcium phosphates with native nanostructures. While the nano/microstructure formed by the deposited calcium phosphate layer is controlled by increasing the solution pH to above 6.5 and increasing the duration of immersion experimentally, the nanostructure imposed by the dimensions of the fibers was controlled by the polymer concentration (12% w/v), applied voltage (25 kV) and capillary tip to collector distance (35 cm). The deposited coating increased quantitatively by extending the soak up to 6 h. On the other hand, the porosity values attained in the scaffolds were around 87% and the biomimetic coatings did not alter the nanofiber mat porosities negatively since the deposition continued along the fibers after the first 2 h. Upon confirming the non-toxic nature of the electrospun PCL nanofiber mats, the effects of different nano/microstructures formed were evaluated by the osteoblastic activity. The levels of both alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin were found to be higher in the coated PCL nanofibers than in the uncoated PCL nanofibers, indicating that biomimetic calcium phosphate on PCL nanofibers supports osteoblastic differentiation.

Preparation and characterization of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) scaffolds modified with cell-loaded fibrin gel Malikmammadov, Elbay; Endoğan Tanır, Tuğba; Kızıltay, Aysel; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2019-03-15) Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) is one of the most commonly used polymers in the production of tissue engineered scaffolds for hard tissue treatments. Incorporation of cells into these scaffolds significantly enhances the healing rate of the tissue. In this study, PCL scaffolds were prepared by wet spinning technique and modified by addition of fibrinogen in order to form a fibrin network between the PCL fibers. By this way, scaffolds would have micro and nanofibers in their structures. Drying of the wet s...
Synthesis of Selenium-Incorporated Alpha-Tricalcium Phosphate and Evaluation of Its Cement-Type Reactivity Baştuğ Azer, Bersu; Durucan, Caner (2018-12-01) Alpha-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) is a promising hard tissue analog due to its cement-type hydraulic conversion to the mineral component (calcium deficient hydroxyapatite, CDHAp) of natural bone tissue. A variety of different inorganic and organic agents can be incorporated to α-TCP in order to enhance its therapeutic and regenerative properties. In this study, an ionic incorporation - selenium (Se) - was accomplished to impart anti-carcinogenic property to α-TCP. Se-incorporated α-TCP (α-TCP:Se) was obtai...
Synthesis and characterization of nanosized calcium phosphates by flame spray pyrolysis, and their effect on osteogenic differentiation of stem cells Ataol, Sibel; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Duygulu, Ozgur; Keskin, Dilek; Machin, Nesrin E. (2015-02-14) The present study evaluates the synthesis of biocompatible osteoconductive and osteoinductive nano calcium phosphate (CaP) particles by industrially applied, aerosol-derived flame spray pyrolysis method for biomedical field. Calcium phosphate nanoparticles were produced in a range of calcium-to-phosphorus ratio, (1.20-2.19) in order to analyze the morphology and crystallinity changes, and to test the bioactivity of particles. The characterization results confirmed that nanometer-sized, spherical calcium pho...
Preparation of anti-adhesive and antibacterial surfaces using polymers Onat, Bora; İErel Göktepe, İrem; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biotechnology (2017) Layer-by-layer self-assembly of polymers is a versatile technique which can impart new functions to the surfaces of biomedical instruments and biomaterials. Materials which are coated by this technique can exhibit response towards environmental stimuli, such that the controlled release of drugs and similar biologically functional molecules under different stimuli can be observed. In the span of this thesis study, ultra-thin polymer films were prepared through the layer-by-layer self-assembly technique, the ...
FABRICATION AND EVALUATION OF SULFONATED POLY(ETHER ETHER KETONE) AND FLUORIDATED HYDROXYAPATITE COMPOSITE SCAFFOLDS FOR BONE TISSUE ENGINEERING Nosratinia, Ataollah; Keskin, Dilek; Evis, Zafer; Department of Biotechnology (2022-5-27) Poly (ether ether ketone) (PEEK) has attracted the interest of bone tissue engineers due to its close range of mechanical properties to that of human bones, its biocompatibility, and excellent chemical resistance. However, PEEK is bioinert and has very low hydrophilicity. Sulfonation can compensate for this by introducing hydrophilic sulfonate groups. Furthermore, hydroxyapatite (HA) which is the main component of the bone, can introduce bioactivity to the scaffold. Compared to pure HA, Fluoridated hydroxya...
