Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Peptide-Functionalized Hydrocolloid Bioink for 3D Bioprinting in Dental Tissue Engineering(Elsevier, 2025) Guner, Elif; Yildirim-Semerci, Ozum; Altan, Zeynep; Arslan-Yildiz, AhuDeveloping biomimetic peptide-based biomaterials has utmost importance to enhance mineralization offering an innovative approach for dental tissue regeneration. This study comprises development and characterization of a novel peptide-based hybrid bioink for dental tissue engineering applications by integrating P11-4 peptide and Gelatin (Gel) into glucuronoxylan-based quince seed hydrocolloid (QSH). Combining polysaccharide and peptide-based hydrogels enhanced cell adhesion and mineralization. Morphological analysis showed that P11-4 increased porosity, while rheological tests confirmed that QSH/Gel/P11-4 bioink has tunable viscosity, which is suitable for 3D bioprinting. Optimized bioprinting parameters were determined to be 25G nozzle diameter, 10 mm/s speed of movement, 0.1 mm layer height, and pressure values of 9.0 and 7.0 psi for QSH/Gel and QSH/ Gel/P11-4, respectively. Moreover, the addition of P11-4 significantly increased protein adsorption without affecting swelling capacity. 3D cell culture studies were conducted using SaOS-2 (human osteosarcoma) cells, then biocompatibility, high cell viability, favored adhesion, and proliferation were confirmed by Live/Dead and MTT assays. Alizarin Red Staining (ARS) and EDX analysis verified that P11-4 promoted mineral deposition by increasing Calcium (Ca2+) accumulation in QSH/Gel/P11-4 scaffolds, suggesting that developed bioink can mimic native ECM microenvironment for dental tissue. Overall, the developed hybrid bioink shows superior printability and bioactivity, which makes it a promising material for 3D bioprinting applications in dental tissue engineering.Article Beyond Traditional Dentistry: How Organoids and Next-Gen Hydrogels Are Redesigning Dental Tissue Regeneration(Elsevier, 2026) Yilmaz-Dagdeviren, Hilal Deniz; Arslan, Yavuz EmreDental tissue regeneration has advanced rapidly with the development of bioengineered hydrogels and organoid technologies. In this review, multifunctional hydrogels are examined as biomimetic platforms with osteoinductive, adhesive, angiogenic, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties tailored to enamel, dentin-pulp complex, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone repair. Incorporation of bioactive molecules, including growth factors, bioceramics, antioxidants, and immune-modulating agents, has been reported to enhance tissue-specific regeneration while mitigating infection and inflammation. Stimuli-responsive designs have been utilized to enable spatiotemporally controlled delivery and degradation. Immunomodulatory hydrogels also have been shown to direct macrophage polarization, regulate T-cell infiltration, and promote matrix remodeling. Furthermore, organoid models supported by hydrogels have been employed to replicate dental tissue architecture, guide lineage-specific differentiation, and provide reproducible, physiologically relevant platforms for drug screening and developmental studies. Emerging strategies such as microfluidic organoid-on-chip systems and mechanically stimulated cultures are noted for their potential to provide more physiologically relevant models. Early clinical studies involving hydrogel-based scaffolds and stem cell constructs are discussed, indicating growing translational potential. Overall, these developments highlights that how advanced hydrogels and organoid systems can contribute to a shift from conventional restorative methods toward tissue engineering-based regenerative therapies.
