Bone diseases and disorders have been expected to increase mostly in time because of the aging, obesity and pysical activity problems. For this reason, bone tissue engineering has been focus point to design new biocompatible scaffolds and enhance bone tissue regeneration. Composite scaffolds composed of PCL, Zn doped hydoxyapatite (HA), and boron nitride nanofibers (BNNFs) were prepared by the rotary jet spinning for bone tissue engineering applications. Synthesis of BNNFs and Zn-HA was achieved by the freeze drying and the wet chemical methods, respectively and then verified by XRD, FTIR, SEM and ICP analyses. The composite scaffolds were characterized for morphological properties, bioactivity, biocompatibility and mechanical properties. The bioactivity of PCL, PCL-Zn HA, PCL-Zn HA-BNNF and PCL-BNNF scaffolds was tested in simulated body fluids (SBF) and PCL-Zn HA-BNNF group showed good bioactivity by forming higher amount of apatite layer. Furthermore, proliferation and osteogenic activity of cells in all groups were investigated by Saos-2 cells. The results showed that the highest proliferation and osteogenic activity of cells were obtained in PCL-Zn HA-BNNF group. Furthermore, compression test results revealed that compressive properties of PCL scaffolds were improved by the addition of both BNNF and Zn HA but tensile tests showed that addition of Zn HA or BNNF reduced the strength of PCL due to the agglomeration of particles. Our results showed that PCL-Zn HA-BNNF scaffolds holds promise for bone tissue engineering applications

Boron nitride nanofiber/Zn-doped hydroxyapatite/polycaprolactone scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications Turhan, Emine Ayşe; Akbaba, Sema; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Evis, Zafer (2023-05-01) In this study, Zn doped hydroxyapatite (Zn HA)/boron nitride nanofiber (BNNF)/poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) composite aligned fibrous scaffolds are produced with rotary jet spinning (RJS) for bone tissue engineering applications. It is hypothesized that addition of Zn HA and BNNF will contribute to cell viability as well as mechanical and osteogenic properties of the PCL scaffolds. Zn HA was synthesized by mixing Ca and P sources followed by sonication and aging whereas BNNF was obtained by the reaction of mela...
Triglyceride dependent differentiation of obesity in adipose tissues by FTIR spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics Baloglu, Fatma Kucuk; Baloğlu, Onur; Heise, Sebastian; Brockmann, Gudrun; Severcan, Feride (2017-10-01) The excess deposition of triglycerides in adipose tissue is the main reason of obesity and causes excess release of fatty acids to the circulatory system resulting in obesity and insulin resistance. Body mass index and waist circumference are not precise measure of obesity and obesity related metabolic diseases. Therefore, in the current study, it was aimed to propose triglyceride bands located at 1770-1720 cm(-1) spectral region as a more sensitive obesity related biomarker using the diagnostic potential o...
Collagen scaffolds with in situ grown calcium phosphate for osteogenic differentiation of wharton’s jelly and menstrual blood stem cells Karadaş, Özge; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Köse, Gamze Torun; Department of Biotechnology (2011) The importance of developing new techniques for the treatment of bone and joint diseases is increasing continuosly together with the increase of human population and the average life span. Especially bone fractures as a result of osteoporosis are often seen in humans older than 50 years old. The expenses of bone and joint disease operations are very high and the duration of recovery is long. Because of these reasons World Health Organization, The United Nations and 37 countries announced that the years 2000...
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 ...
Nanopatterned tubular collagen scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering Zorlutuna, Pınar; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat; Department of Biotechnology (2009) One of the major causes of death in developed countries is cardiovascular disease that affects small and medium sized blood vessels. In most cases autologous grafts have to be used which have limited availability. A functional tissue engineered vessel can be the ultimate solution for vascular reconstruction. Tissue engineered constructs with cells growing in an organized manner have been shown to have improved mechanical properties. In the present study collagen scaffolds with 650 nm, 500 nm and 332.5 nm wi...
