    Peptide-Functionalized Hydrocolloid Bioink for 3D Bioprinting in Dental Tissue Engineering
    (Elsevier, 2025) Guner, Elif; Yildirim-Semerci, Ozum; Altan, Zeynep; Arslan-Yildiz, Ahu
    Developing 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.

    From Chemistry to Clinic: Polysaccharide-Bioceramic Composites for Tissue Engineering Applications
    (Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2025) Yakubogullari, Nilgun; Yilmaz-Dagdeviren, Hilal Deniz; Arslan-Yildiz, Ahu
    Composite scaffolds combining polysaccharides and bioceramics represent next-generation scaffolds extensively investigated in tissue engineering (TE) and biomedical applications. Polysaccharides such as chitosan, hyaluronic acid, and pectin mimic the extracellular matrix components with their tunable physicochemical properties, enabling a favorable microenvironment for cell adhesion, proliferation, and cell-matrix interactions. On the other hand, bioceramics, including calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, and bioactive glasses, enhance the mechanical properties of the material and offer structural integrity and osteoconductive properties. While they have generally been preferred to be used in bone TE and dental applications, various studies have also demonstrated their potential in cartilage regeneration, wound healing, and broader biomedical applications. Recent advancements in material design and scaffold fabrication techniques, particularly 3D printing and electrospinning, have provided precise engineering of materials and fabrication of scaffolds for desirable mechanical properties and biological performance. These innovations foster the development of patient-specific scaffolds, thereby paving the way for applications in personalized medicine. This review critically summarizes alternative polysaccharides, bioceramics, and composite materials used in TE and biomedical applications. It also highlights advanced fabrication strategies and finally explores the translational potential of these biocomposites. By integrating emerging technologies, this review aims to provide alternative and sustainable materials for the development of next-generation scaffolds that meet clinical needs.Impact Statement This study introduces polysaccharide-bioceramic composites with enhanced mechanical and biological properties for tissue engineering. Beyond bone and dental repair, their applications increasingly extend to wound healing, cartilage, cardiac, and muscle regeneration with drug delivery, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis. By mimicking the native extracellular matrix, these composites support cell growth and tissue regeneration, offering a versatile platform for advanced regenerative therapies.

    Hydrocolloids for Tissue Engineering and 3d Bioprinting
    (World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2024) Yildirim-Semerci, Ozum; Onbas, Rabia; Bilginer-Kartal, Rumeysa; Arslan-Yildiz, Ahu
    Hydrocolloids, derived from plants, marine, and microbial sources, have become research favorites due to their unique properties. This article provides an overview of the extraction methods, from chemical to enzymatic, to obtain hydrocolloids. Distinctive properties of hydrocolloids, such as high swelling capacity, tunable features, and rapid gelation ability, have gained significant attention recently and have started to be used in tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting. Hydrocolloids will play substantial roles in advancing biomedical products and contributing to improving human health.

    Exploring the Use of Water-Extracted Flaxseed Hydrocolloids in Three-Dimensional Cell Culture
    (Mary Ann Liebert, inc, 2024) Yildirim-Semerci, Ozum; Bilginer-Kartal, Rumeysa; Arslan-Yildiz, Ahu
    Plant-derived hydrocolloids offer promising prospects in biomedical applications. Among these, Flaxseed hydrocolloid (FSH) can form a soft, elastic, and biocompatible hydrocolloid with tunable viscosity and superior swelling capacity, making it an attractive scaffold. This study introduces a green extraction method for FSH, employing a single-step aqueous extraction process and fabrication of FSH scaffold. Despite growing interest, the pristine form of FSH has not been investigated for sustainable long-term three-dimensional (3D) cell culture. Here, FSH scaffolds were thoroughly characterized for their morphological, chemical, mechanical, and biological properties. 3D cell culture experiments were conducted using NIH-3T3 mouse fibroblast cells, and cell viability was assessed using live/dead and Alamar Blue assays. High cell viability was sustained for long term compared with 2D cell culture. Cell adhesion and 3D cellular morphology on FSH scaffold for 30 days were monitored by scanning electron microscopy analysis. Also, collagen type-I and F-actin expressions were analyzed by immunostaining after 30 days of culture, resulting in 5- and 4-fold increments of fluorescence intensity, respectively. Results indicate sustained cell viability in the long term and favorable cell-material interaction, demonstrating the potential of FSH as a scaffold. This study emphasizes the importance of the green extraction approach, improving the biocompatibility and functionality of FSH tissue engineering applications. Impact Statement Flaxseed hydrocolloid (FSH) is a promising scaffold for biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility and tunable properties. This study introduces a green extraction method for FSH and evaluates its use in 3D cell culture with NIH-3T3 mouse fibroblast cells. The findings indicate high cell viability and enhanced cell-material interactions over 30 days, highlighting the potential of FSH for tissue engineering.

    Development of Mg-Alginate Based Self Disassociative Bio-Ink for Magnetic Bio-Patterning of 3d Tumor Models
    (Wiley-v C H verlag Gmbh, 2024) Coban, Basak; Baskurt, Mehmet; Sahin, Hasan; Arslan-Yildiz, Ahu
    Alginate forms a hydrogel via physical cross-linking with divalent cations. In literature, Ca2+ is mostly utilized due to strong interactions but additional procedures are required to disassociate Ca-alginate hydrogels. On the other hand, Mg-alginate hydrogels disassociate spontaneously, which might benefit certain applications. This study introduces Mg-alginate as the main component of a bio-ink for the first time to obtain 3D tumor models by magnetic bio-patterning technique. The bio-ink contains magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for magnetic manipulation, Mg-alginate hydrogel as a sacrificial material, and cells. The applicability of the methodology is tested for the formation of 3D tumor models using HeLa, SaOS-2, and SH-SY5Y cells. Long-term cultures are examined by Live/dead and MTT analysis and revealed high cell viability. Subsequently, Collagen and F-actin expressions are observed successfully in 3D tumor models. Finally, the anti-cancer drug Doxorubicin (DOX) effect is investigated on 3D tumor models, and IC50 values is calculated to assess the drug response. As a result, significantly higher drug resistance is observed for bio-patterned 3D tumor models up to tenfold compared to 2D control. Overall, Mg-alginate hydrogel is successfully used to form bio-patterned 3D tumor models, and the applicability of the model is shown effectively, especially as a drug screening platform.
