Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Roadmap on Multifunctional Materials for Drug Delivery(IOP Publishing, 2024) Nottelet, Benjamin; Kehr, Nermin Seda; van Nostrum, Cornelus F.; Zhao, Xiaofei; Deng, Chao; Zhong, Zhiyuan; Cheah, Ernest; Kehr, Nermin Seda; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis Roadmap on drug delivery aims to cover some of the most recent advances in the field of materials for drug delivery systems (DDSs) and emphasizes the role that multifunctional materials play in advancing the performance of modern DDSs in the context of the most current challenges presented. The Roadmap is comprised of multiple sections, each of which introduces the status of the field, the current and future challenges faced, and a perspective of the required advances necessary for biomaterial science to tackle these challenges. It is our hope that this collective vision will contribute to the initiation of conversation and collaboration across all areas of multifunctional materials for DDSs. We stress that this article is not meant to be a fully comprehensive review but rather an up-to-date snapshot of different areas of research, with a minimal number of references that focus upon the very latest research developments.Review Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 13Oxygen Delivery Biomaterials in Wound Healing Applications(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2023) Bayraktar, Sema; Kehr, Nermin Seda; Üstün, Cansu; Kehr, Nermin Seda; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyOxygen (O2) delivery biomaterials have attracted great interest in the treatment of chronic wounds due to their potential applications in local and continuous O2 generation and delivery, improving cell viability until vascularization occurs, promoting structural growth of new blood vessels, simulating collagen synthesis, killing bacteria and reducing hypoxia-induced tissue damage. Therefore, different types of O2 delivery biomaterials including thin polymer films, fibers, hydrogels, or nanocomposite hydrogels have been developed to provide controlled, sufficient and long-lasting O2 to prevent hypoxia and maintain cell viability until the engineered tissue is vascularized by the host system. These biomaterials are made by various approaches, such as encapsulating O2 releasing molecules into hydrogels, polymer microspheres and 3D printed hydrogel scaffolds and adsorbing O2 carrying reagents into polymer films of fibers. In this article, different O2 generating sources such as solid inorganic peroxides, liquid peroxides, and photosynthetic microalgae, and O2 carrying perfluorocarbons and hemoglobin are presented and the applications of O2 delivery biomaterials in promoting wound healing are discussed. Furthermore, challenges encountered and future perspectives are highlighted. Oxygen delivery (O2) biomaterials have attracted great interest in the treatment of chronic wounds due to their ability to continuously deliver oxygen and support cell viability. Therefore, various O2 generating sources such as solid inorganic peroxides, liquid peroxides and photosynthetic microalgae, and O2-carrying perfluorocarbons and hemoglobin are incorporated into different biomaterial networks for wound healing applications.imageReview Citation - WoS: 116Citation - Scopus: 125Salivary Biomarkers: Novel Noninvasive Tools To Diagnose Chronic Inflammation(Springer, 2023) Dongiovanni, Paola; Kehr, Nermin Seda; Casati, Sara; Goldoni, Riccardo; Thomaz, Douglas Vieira; Kehr, Nermin Seda; Galimberti, Daniela; 04.01. Department of Chemistry; 04. Faculty of Science; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologySeveral chronic disorders including type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, heart disease and cancer are preceded by a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. Biomarkers for the early assessment of chronic disorders encompass acute phase proteins (APP), cytokines and chemokines, pro-inflammatory enzymes, lipids and oxidative stress mediators. These substances enter saliva through the blood flow and, in some cases, there is a close relation between their salivary and serum concentration. Saliva can be easily collected and stored with non-invasive and cost-saving procedures, and it is emerging the concept to use it for the detection of inflammatory biomarkers. To this purpose, the present review aims to discuss the advantages and challenges of using standard and cutting-edge techniques to discover salivary biomarkers which may be used in diagnosis/therapy of several chronic diseases with inflammatory consequences with the pursuit to possibly replace conventional paths with detectable soluble mediators in saliva. Specifically, the review describes the procedures used for saliva collection, the standard approaches for the measurement of salivary biomarkers and the novel methodological strategies such as biosensors to improve the quality of care for chronically affected patients.
