Book Part Citation - Scopus: 3Tissue Engineering Applications of Marine-Based Materials(Springer, 2022) Polat, Hürriyet; Zeybek, Nuket; Polat, MehmetTissue engineering is a promising approach in replacing or improving tissues lost or has become nonviable due to disease or trauma by the use of scaffold materials by combining engineering and biochemical/physicochemical methods. Its purpose is to create suitable matrices that support cell differentiation and proliferation toward the formation of new and functional tissue. Marine-based natural compounds are potential scaffold feedstock material in tissue engineering owing to their biocompatibility and biodegradability while providing excellent biochemical/physicochemical properties. Numerous application areas and various fabrication routes techniques described in the literature attest to the importance of these materials in tissue regeneration. This review has been carried to merge the information from a large number of studies on the marine-based scaffold materials in tissue engineering into a coherent summary. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Biomimetic Peptide-Conjugated Membranes for Developing an Artificial Cornea(IEEE, 2022) Sunal, Gülşah; Pulat, Günnur; Akgün, İsmail Hakkı; Güven, Sinan; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Karaman, Ozan; Horzum, NesrinThe corneal endothelium is composed of a single layer of specialized endothelial cells, protecting, and nourishing the inner surface of the cornea. Corneal endothelial cells do not proliferate after birth and their number decrease with age. Trauma, inflammation, or surgical intervention can cause cell loss. When damage is extensive and the density of corneal endothelial cells decreases to a critical level, it results in corneal edema and vision loss. Besides them, when corneal endothelium has irreversible damage, the only treatment way is corneal transplantation. But there are some drawbacks such as finding donors, immune reactions, and the number of patients waiting on the transplantation lists for years. Tissue engineering approaches can provide promising alternatives for the regeneration of corneal endothelium tissue. Peptides can be used to modify and functionalize the scaffolds, allowing for the production of bioactive and biomimetic surfaces. Peptide-modified scaffold surfaces might direct and enhance the behaviors of cells. In this study, the aim was to functionalize the polycaprolactone (PCL) membranes with tissue-specific peptides and to characterize the peptide-conjugated membranes by Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. The synthesized peptides were successfully conjugated on the PCL biomembranes.Conference Object Üç Boyutlu Hücre Kültürü için Polimer Esaslı Ekstrasellüler Matriks Mimetiği(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Türker, Esra; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Arslan Yıldız, AhuElektro-eğirme metodu gelişmiş üretim teknolojilerindendir ve biyomedikal uygulamalarında yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Özellikle doku mühendisliğinde amaç, çalışılacak doku üzerine doğal veya sentetik destek materyali (iskele) üreterek hücrenin uyum sağlayabileceği bir ortam oluşturmaktır. Bu projenin amacı üç boyutlu (3D) hücre kültürü çalışmaları için elektro-eğirme-metodu ile poli(L-laktik-co-epsilon-kaprolakton) (PLLCL) kullanılarak iskele üretilmesidir. Homojen lifler ve uygun gözenek boyutu elde etmek amacıyla optimizasyon çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Elde edilen liflerin çapı, akış hızı ve voltajın artmasıyla azalmaktadır. Taramalı uç elektron mikroskop incelemeleri (SEM) lif morfolojik yapılarının doku iskelesi fabrikasyonu için ideale yakın olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır.
