When a full-thickness skin is lost due to trauma or diseases, wound bed cannot be immediately repaired. Coverage of damaged tissue with a material other than patient???s own skin to prevent dehydration and infection can be an alternative. Thus, bilayer membranes may be candidates for satisfying requirements of top and sub layers of a potential wound dress. For instance, top layer should be dense and strong whereas sublayer should be porous and cytocompatible. Moreover, both layers should have high-waterabsorbing capability. Membranes composed of bacterial cellulose (BC) produced by Acetobacter species have been widely utilized for different purposes owing to its excellent mechanical properties and pronounced water retention capacity. Pullulan (PUL) is another extracellular polysaccharide produced by Aureobasidium species possessing water solubility and gelation ability. Therefore, a membrane system composed of these materials can be formed by crosslinking PUL and attaching it onto BC layer to prevent delamination. Actually, PUL can effectively be immobilized on BC since it adheres to cellulose in nature. In this study, BC/PUL bilayer membranes were fabricated as a wound dressing composite for the first time in a simple and practical manner. BC produced by bacteria was purified and used in original form. PUL solution (20(w/v)%) was prepared in distilled water including trisodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) as a ???green??? crosslinking agent (STMP/PUL(w/w):1/3) and NaOH was added into the PUL solution (NaOH/STMP(w/w):1/10) as an initiator prior to pouring the solution onto BC membranes. Crosslinking occurred within 12min. Optimizations for manufacturing membranes were completed and characterizations are under study.

Natural origin bilayer pullulan-PHBV scaffold for wound healing applications Dalgic, Ali Deniz; Koman, Ezgi; Karataş, Ayten; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Keskin, Dilek (2022-03-01) Skin tissue loss that occurs by injury and diseases can turn into chronic wounds as a result of complications alongside infection. Chronic wounds fail to heal by themselves and need advanced treatments like engineered wound dressings and regenerative scaffolds. In this study, a novel, natural origin, bilayer electrospun scaffold was produced from pullulan (PUL) and poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) biopolymers. PHBV production by Cupriavidus necator bacterial strain was optimized and produced ...
EGF containing gelatin-based wound dressings Ulubayram, K; Cakar, AN; Korkusuz, P; Ertan, C; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2001-06-01) In case of bulk loss of tissue or non-healing wounds such as burns, trauma, diabetic, decubitus and venous stasis ulcers, a proper wound dressing is needed to cover the wound area, protect the damaged tissue, and if possible to activate the cell proliferation and stimulate the healing process. In this study, synthesis of a novel polymeric bilayer wound dressing containing epidermal growth-factor (EGF)-loaded microspheres was aimed. For this purpose, a natural, nontoxic and biocompatible material, gelatin, w...
Cellulose acetate based 3-dimensional electrospun scaffolds for skin tissue engineering applications Atila, Deniz; Keskin, Dilek; Tezcaner, Ayşen (2015-11-20) Skin defects that are not able to regenerate by themselves are among the major problems faced. Tissue engineering approach holds promise for treating such defects. Development of tissue-mimicking-scaffolds that can promote healing process receives an increasing interest in recent years. In this study, 3-dimensional electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) pullulan (PULL) scaffolds were developed for the first time. PULL was intentionally used to obtain 3D structures with adjustable height. It was removed from the...
Tenogenic differentiation of human adipose derived MSCS on a novel tendon scaffold by gdf-5 supplementation Güner, Mustafa Bahadır; Keskin, Dilek; Yılancı, Sedat; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2018) Tendon injuries are a significant part of musculoskeletal wounds. Even though tendon wound healing mechanisms provide regeneration after injuries, reduced function of the tendon usually occurs due to limitations of the native healing mechanism. Tendon tissue engineering (TTE) is proposed to repair the injured tendon by a scaffold integrated with biological factors. Therefore, aim of this thesis was to design 3D scaffold, by combining healthy and wounded extracellular matrix (ECM) structure of the tendon, to...
Heparin/Chitosan/Alginate Complex Scaffolds as Wound Dressings: Characterization and Antibacterial Study Against Staphylococcus epidermidis AKSOY, EDA AYŞE; Sezer, Umran Aydemir; Kara, Filiz; Hasırcı, Nesrin (2015-02-01) Infected wounds are global healthcare problems since they can lead to dysfunctioning in organs and even result in death in severe cases. In this study, antibacterial wound dressings were prepared to prevent possible infection at the damaged host region. For this purpose, three natural polymers namely heparin, chitosan and alginate were used as anionic, cationic and sulfated polysaccharides, respectively, due to their versatile properties as being nontoxic, biocompatible, biodegradable and antibacterial. Hep...
