Correction Citation - WoS: 1Erratum: Bioactive Snail Mucus-Slime Extract Loaded Chitosan Scaffolds for Hard Tissue Regeneration: the Effect of Mucoadhesive and Antibacterial Extracts on Physical Characteristics and Bioactivity of Chitosan Matrix (Biomedical Materials (Bristol) (2021) 16 (065008) Doi: 10.1088/1748-605x(IOP Publishing, 2023) Perpelek, M.; Tamburaci, S.; Aydemi̇r, S.; Tıhmınlıoğlu, F.; Baykara, B.; Karakaşli, A.; Havitçioǧlu, H.The authors regret that some errors were identified in 'figures 12 and 13' on pages 14 and 15, in the published manuscript concerning fluorescence microscopy images of Saos-2 and SW1353 cells on scaffolds for 1 and 3 d of incubation. The fluorescence images in figures 12 and 13 were mistakenly used as duplicated due to the inadvertently mislabeling during the processing of files and integrating them into the final figures. Intensity data regarding corrected fluorescence images were also measured and corrected. The revised figures (figures 12 and 13) and their captions appear below. The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way.

Thus, literature studies have aimed to design multilayered scaffolds using natural polymers to mimic its unique structure. In this study, fabricated scaffolds are composed of transition layers both chemically and morphologically to mimic the gradient structure of osteochondral tissue. The aim of this study is to produce gradient chitosan (CHI) scaffolds with bioactive snail (Helix aspersa) mucus (M) and slime (S) extract and investigate the structures regarding their physicochemical, mechanical, and morphological characteristics as well as in vitro cytocompatibility and bioactivity. Gradient scaffolds (CHI-M and CHI-S) were fabricated via a layer-by-layer freezing and lyophilization technique. Highly porous and continuous 3D structures were obtained and observed with SEM analysis. In addition, scaffolds were physically characterized with water uptake test, micro-CT, mechanical analysis (compression tests), and XRD analysis. In vitro bioactivity of scaffolds was investigated by co-culturing Saos-2 and SW1353 cells on each compartment of gradient scaffolds. Osteogenic activity of Saos-2 cells on extract loaded gradient scaffolds was investigated in terms of ALP secretion, osteocalcin (OC) production, and biomineralization. Chondrogenic bioactivity of SW1353 cells was investigated regarding COMP and GAG production and observed with Alcian Blue staining. Both mucus and slime incorporation in the chitosan matrix increased the osteogenic differentiation of Saos-2 and SW1353 cells in comparison to the pristine matrix. In addition, histological and immunohistological staining was performed to investigate ECM formation on gradient scaffolds. Both characterization and in vitro bioactivity results indicated that CHI-M and CHI-S scaffolds show potential for osteochondral tissue regeneration, mimicking the structure as well as enhancing physical characteristics and bioactivity. © 2023 The Authors.

The use of animal-derived proteinous materials, such as jellyfish collagen, or fish scale (FS) gelatin (GEL), has become an important pillar in biomaterial ink design to increase the bioactivity of hydrogels. However, besides the extraction of proteinous structures, the use of structurally intact FS as an additive could increase biocompatibility and bioactivity of hydrogels due to its organic (collagen) and inorganic (hydroxyapatite) contents, while simultaneously enhancing mechanical strength in three-dimensional (3D) printing applications. To test this hypothesis, we present here a composite biomaterial ink composed of FS and alginate dialdehyde (ADA)-GEL for 3D bioprinting applications. We fabricate 3D cell-laden hydrogels using mouse pre-osteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells. We evaluate the physicochemical and mechanical properties of FS incorporated ADA-GEL biomaterial inks as well as the bioactivity and cytocompatibility of cell-laden hydrogels. Due to the distinctive collagen orientation of the FS, the compressive strength of the hydrogels significantly increased with increasing FS particle content. Addition of FS also provided a tool to tune hydrogel stiffness. FS particles were homogeneously incorporated into the hydrogels. Particle-matrix integration was confirmed via scanning electron microscopy. FS incorporation in the ADA-GEL matrix increased the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in comparison to pristine ADA-GEL, as FS incorporation led to increased ALP activity and osteocalcin secretion of MC3T3-E1 cells. Due to the significantly increased stiffness and supported osteoinductivity of the hydrogels, FS structure as a natural collagen and hydroxyapatite source contributed to the biomaterial ink properties for bone engineering applications. Our findings indicate that ADA-GEL/FS represents a new biomaterial ink formulation with great potential for 3D bioprinting, and FS is confirmed as a promising additive for bone TE applications.Article Citation - WoS: 51Citation - Scopus: 583d Printed Gelatin/Decellularized Bone Composite Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering: Fabrication, Characterization and Cytocompatibility Study(Elsevier, 2022) Kara, Aylin; Distler, Thomas; Polley, Christian; Schneidereit, Dominik; Seitz, Hermann; Friedrich, Oliver; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Boccaccini, Aldo RThree-dimensional (3D) printing technology enables the design of personalized scaffolds with tunable pore size and composition. Combining decellularization and 3D printing techniques provides the opportunity to fabricate scaffolds with high potential to mimic native tissue. The aim of this study is to produce novel decellularized bone extracellular matrix (dbECM)-reinforced composite-scaffold that can be used as a biomaterial for bone tissue engineering. Decellularized bone particles (dbPTs, ∼100 μm diameter) were obtained from rabbit femur and used as a reinforcement agent by mixing with gelatin (GEL) in different concentrations. 3D scaffolds were fabricated by using an extrusion-based bioprinter and crosslinking with microbial transglutaminase (mTG) enzyme, followed by freeze-drying to obtain porous structures. Fabricated 3D scaffolds were characterized morphologically, mechanically, and chemically. Furthermore, MC3T3-E1 mouse pre-osteoblast cells were seeded on the dbPTs reinforced GEL scaffolds (GEL/dbPTs) and cultured for 21 days to assess cytocompatibility and cell attachment. We demonstrate the 3D-printability of dbPTs-reinforced GEL hydrogels and the achievement of homogenous distribution of the dbPTs in the whole scaffold structure, as well as bioactivity and cytocompatibility of GEL/dbPTs scaffolds. It was shown that Young's modulus and degradation rate of scaffolds were enhanced with increasing dbPTs content. Multiphoton microscopy imaging displayed the interaction of cells with dbPTs, indicating attachment and proliferation of cells around the particles as well as into the GEL-particle hydrogels. Our results demonstrate that GEL/dbPTs hydrogel formulations have potential for bone tissue engineering.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 16Thermal Characterization of Ag and Ag Plus N Ion Implanted Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (uhmwpe)(Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Urkaç, Emel Sokullu; Oztarhan, A.; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Kaya, N.; Ila, D.; Muntele, C.; Tek, Z.Most of total hip joints are composed of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). However, as ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is too stable in a body, wear debris may accumulate and cause biological response such as bone absorption and loosening of prosthesis. In this study, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene samples were Ag and Ag + N hybrid ion implanted by using MEVVA ion implantation technique to improve its surface properties. Samples were implanted with a fluence of 10(17) ion/cm(2) and extraction voltage of 30 kV. Implanted and unimplanted samples were investigated by thermo-gravimetry analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (OM) and contact Angle measurement. Thermal characterization results showed that the ion bombardment induced an increase in the % crystallinity, onset and termination degradation temperatures of UHMWPE. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Samples were implanted with a fluence of 10(17) ion/cm(2) and an extraction voltage of 30 kV. The study of TGA and DSC curves showed that: (1) Polymeric decomposition temperature increased, (2) T-m, Delta C-p and Delta H-m values changed while Delta C-p and Delta H-m increased. T-g value could not be measured, because of some experimental limitations. However, the increase in Delta H-m values showed that T-g values increased, (3) the branch density which indicated the increase in number of cross-link (M-c) decreased in ion implanted samples and (4) increase in Delta H-m values indicated increase in crystallinity of implanted surface of UHMWPE samples.Conference Object The Effect of Ag and Ag Plus N Ion Implantation on Cell Attachment Properties(American Institute of Physics, 2009) Urkaç, Emel Sokullu; Öztarhan, Ahmet; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Deliloğlu, İsmet Gürhan; İz, Sultan Gülce; Oks, Efim; Ila, DaryushImplanted biomedical prosthetic devices are intended to perform safely, reliably and effectively in the human body thus the materials used for orthopedic devices should have good biocompatibility. Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene (UHMWPE) has been commonly used for total hip joint replacement because of its very good properties. In this work, UHMWPE samples were Ag and Ag+N ion implanted by using the Metal-Vapor Vacuum Arc (MEVVA) ion implantation technique. Samples were implanted with a fluency of 1017 ion/cm2 and extraction voltage of 30 kV. Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) was used for surface studies. RBS showed the presence of Ag and N on the surface. Cell attachment properties investigated with model cell lines (L929 mouse fibroblasts) to demonstrate that the effect of Ag and Ag+N ion implantation can favorably influence the surface of UHMWPE for biomedical applications. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to demonstrate the cell attachment on the surface. Study has shown that Ag+N ion implantation represents more effective cell attachment properties on the UHMWPE surfaces.Conference Object Thermal Behaviour of W Plus C Ion Implanted Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (uhmwpe)(American Institute of Physics, 2009) Urkaç, Emel Sokullu; Öztarhan, Ahmet; Tıhmınlıoğlu, Funda; Ila, Daryush; Budak, S.; Chhay, B.; Nikolaev, A.The aim of this work was to examine thermal behavior of the surface modified Ultra High Molecular Weight Poly Ethylene (UHMWPE) in order to understand the effect of ion implantation on the properties of this polymer which is widely used especially for biomedical applications.
