    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.
