Tumors, trauma, and congenital defects require volume restoration of soft tissues. Tissue engineering provides an alternative source for substituting these defects. Cell encapsulation into hydrogels provides a three-dimensional microenvironment. Spheroids of cells provide close packing and increase cell-to-cell contacts resulting in differentiation. Gelatin is a natural polymer with low immunogenicity and preserved amino acid motifs for cell adhesion and proliferation. In the present study, a soft photo-crosslinked gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel with long in vitro lifetime was synthesized. Stem cells (dental pulp derived, DPSC) and endothelial cells (umbilical cord derived, HUVEC) were formed into spheroids to induce prevascular network formation and encapsulated into GelMA (10% weight/volume). Results showed high cell viability, better gel mechanical properties, and longer HUVEC sprouting with spheroids compared to the same combination of cells. Altogether, the photo-crosslinked GelMA hydrogels with DPSC and HUVEC spheroids provided a promising tissue engineering and vascularization strategy in vitro.

Dual growth factor delivery using PLGA nanoparticles in silk fibroin/PEGDMA hydrogels for articular cartilage tissue engineering Fathi-Achachelouei, Milad; Keskin, Dilek; Bat, Erhan; Vrana, Nihal E.; Tezcaner, Ayşen (Wiley, 2020-07-01) Degeneration of articular cartilage due to damages, diseases, or age-related factors can significantly decrease the mobility of the patients. Various tissue engineering approaches which take advantage of stem cells and growth factors in a three-dimensional constructs have been used for reconstructing articular tissue. Proliferative impact of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and chondrogenic differentiation effect of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) over mesenchymal stem cells have previou...
MgO nanocomposites as new antibacterial materials for orthopedic tissue engineering applications Hickey, Daniel J.; Ercan, Batur; Chung, Stanley; Ercan, Batur; Sun, Linlin; Geilich, Ben (2014-01-01) Regeneration of orthopedic soft and hard tissues, such as ligaments, bone, and the tendon-to-bone insertion site (TBI), is problematic due to a lack of suitable biomaterials which possess appropriate mechanical properties capable of promoting cellular functions in these tissues with limited regenerative capacity. Additionally, surgically implanted biomaterials are susceptible to bacterial infection, which can lead to implant failure, as well as further complications such as wide-spread infection. To address...
Native extracellular matrix/fibroin hydrogels for adipose tissue engineering with enhanced vascularization Kayabolen, Alisan; Keskin, Dilek; Aykan, Andac; Karslioglu, Yildirim; Zor, Fatih; Tezcaner, Ayşen (IOP Publishing, 2017-06-23) Adipose tissue engineering is a promising field for regeneration of soft tissue defects. However, vascularization is needed since nutrients and oxygen cannot reach cells in thick implants by diffusion. Obtaining a biocompatible scaffold with good mechanical properties is another problem. In this study, we aimed to develop thick and vascularized adipose tissue constructs supporting cell viability and adipose tissue regeneration. Hydrogels were prepared by mixing rat decellularized adipose tissue (DAT) and si...
3D Porous Composite Scaffold of PCL-PEG-PCL/Sr2+ and Mg2+ Ions Co-Doped Borate Hydroxyapatite for Bone Tissue Engineering Yedekçi, Buşra; Evis, Zafer; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Department of Engineering Sciences (2021-9-6) Bioceramic/polymer composite systems have gained importance in treating hard tissue damages using bone tissue engineering (BTE). In this context, it was aimed to develop 3D porous composite PCL-PEG-PCL scaffolds containing different amounts of B, Sr and Mg multi-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) that can provide bone regeneration in the bone defect area and to investigate the effect of both the amount of inorganic phase and the porosity on the mechanical and the biological properties. B-Sr-Mg multi-doped HAs were s...
