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.Article Citation - WoS: 43Citation - Scopus: 46Glucuronoxylan-Based Quince Seed Hydrogel: a Promising Scaffold for Tissue Engineering Applications(Elsevier, 2021) Güzelgülgen, Meltem; Özkendir İnanç, Dilce; Yıldız, Ümit Hakan; Arslan Yıldız, AhuNatural gums and mucilages from plant-derived polysaccharides are potential candidates for a tissue-engineering scaffold by their ability of gelation and biocompatibility. Herein, we utilized Glucuron-oxylanbased quince seed hydrogel (QSH) as a scaffold for tissue engineering applications. Optimization of QSH gelation was conducted by varying QSH and crosslinker glutaraldehyde (GTA) concentrations. Structural characterization of QSH was done by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (MR). Furthermore, morphological and mechanical investigation of QSH was performed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The protein adsorption test revealed the suitability of QSH for cell attachment. Biocompatibility of QSH was confirmed by culturing NIH-3T3 mouse fibroblast cells on it. Cell viability and proliferation results revealed that optimum parameters for cell viability were 2 mg mi(-1)of QSH and 0.03 M GTA. SEM and DAPI staining results indicated the formation of spheroids with a diameter of approximately 300 pm. Furthermore, formation of extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment was confirmed with the Collagen Type-I staining. Here, it was demonstrated that the fabricated QSH is a promising scaffold for 3D cell culture and tissue engineering applications provided by its highly porous structure, remarkable swelling capacity and high biocompatibility.

Three dimensional cell culture platforms better mimic the natural microenvironment and biological processes usually differ in 3D compared to 2D culture. In this study, we used laboratory grade filter paper as a scaffold material for studying the effects of LHMF vibrations on osteogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in a 3D system. LMHF vibrations were applied 15 min/day at 0.1 g acceleration and 90 Hz frequency for 21 days to residing cells under quiescent and osteogenic conditions. mRNA expression analysis was performed for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OCN) genes, Alizarin red S staining was performed for mineral nodule formation and infrared spectroscopy was performed for determination of extracellular matrix composition. The highest osteocalcin expression, mineral nodule formation and the phosphate bands arising from the inorganic phase was observed for the cells incubated in osteogenic induction medium with vibration. Our results showed that filter paper can be used as a model scaffold system for studying the effects of mechanical loads on cells, and LMHF vibrations induced the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 17Fish Scale/Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) Nanofibrous Composite Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration(SAGE Publications, 2020) Kara, Aylin; Güneş, Oylum C.; Albayrak, Aylin Z.; Bilici, Gökçen; Erbil, Güven; Havitcioğlu, HasanThe aim of this study was to produce three-dimensional, nanofibrous fish scale/poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) composite scaffolds as bone filling materials. This is the first report wherein fish scales were used within a nanofibrous matrix for bone regeneration. Composite scaffolds with a cotton wool-like structure (fiber diameter: 560 +/- 64 nm; porosity: 82%) were obtained by incorporating chopped fish scales into wet-electrospun poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) nanofibers and freeze-drying. The addition of the fish scales improved the mechanical properties, biomineralization tendency, cell viability, alkaline phosphatase activity, and type I collagen production. Consequently, produced composite scaffolds would be regarded to have the therapeutic capacity in bone tissue damages.
