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 Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 18Utilizing Magnetic Levitation To Detect Lung Cancer-Associated Exosomes(Amer Chemical Soc, 2024) Sozmen, Alper Baran; Arslan-Yildiz, AhuExtracellular vesicles, especially exosomes, have attracted attention in the last few decades as novel cancer biomarkers. Exosomal membrane proteins provide easy-to-reach targets and can be utilized as information sources of their parent cells. In this study, a MagLev-based, highly sensitive, and versatile biosensor platform for detecting minor differences in the density of suspended objects is proposed for exosome detection. The developed platform utilizes antibody-functionalized microspheres to capture exosomal membrane proteins (ExoMPs) EpCAM, CD81, and CD151 as markers for cancerous exosomes, exosomes, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)-derived exosomes, respectively. Initially, the platform was utilized for protein detection and quantification by targeting solubilized ExoMPs, and a dynamic range of 1-100 nM, with LoD values of 1.324, 0.638, and 0.722 nM for EpCAM, CD81, and CD151, were observed, respectively. Then, the sensor platform was tested using exosome isolates derived from NSCLC cell line A549 and MRC5 healthy lung fibroblast cell line. It was shown that the sensor platform is able to detect and differentiate exosomal biomarkers derived from cancerous and non-cancerous cell lines. Overall, this innovative, simple, and rapid method shows great potential for the early diagnosis of lung cancer through exosomal biomarker detection.
