Article Beyond Traditional Dentistry: How Organoids and Next-Gen Hydrogels Are Redesigning Dental Tissue Regeneration(Elsevier, 2026) Yilmaz-Dagdeviren, Hilal Deniz; Arslan, Yavuz EmreDental tissue regeneration has advanced rapidly with the development of bioengineered hydrogels and organoid technologies. In this review, multifunctional hydrogels are examined as biomimetic platforms with osteoinductive, adhesive, angiogenic, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties tailored to enamel, dentin-pulp complex, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone repair. Incorporation of bioactive molecules, including growth factors, bioceramics, antioxidants, and immune-modulating agents, has been reported to enhance tissue-specific regeneration while mitigating infection and inflammation. Stimuli-responsive designs have been utilized to enable spatiotemporally controlled delivery and degradation. Immunomodulatory hydrogels also have been shown to direct macrophage polarization, regulate T-cell infiltration, and promote matrix remodeling. Furthermore, organoid models supported by hydrogels have been employed to replicate dental tissue architecture, guide lineage-specific differentiation, and provide reproducible, physiologically relevant platforms for drug screening and developmental studies. Emerging strategies such as microfluidic organoid-on-chip systems and mechanically stimulated cultures are noted for their potential to provide more physiologically relevant models. Early clinical studies involving hydrogel-based scaffolds and stem cell constructs are discussed, indicating growing translational potential. Overall, these developments highlights that how advanced hydrogels and organoid systems can contribute to a shift from conventional restorative methods toward tissue engineering-based regenerative therapies.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Roadmap on Multifunctional Materials for Drug Delivery(IOP Publishing, 2024) Nottelet, Benjamin; Buwalda, Sytze; van Nostrum, Cornelus F.; Zhao, Xiaofei; Deng, Chao; Zhong, Zhiyuan; Cheah, Ernest; Kehr, Nermin SedaThis 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; Üstün, Cansu; Kehr, Nermin SedaOxygen (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.imageArticle Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 18Development of a Hydrocolloid Bio-Ink for 3d Bioprinting(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022) Yıldırım, Özüm; Arslan Yıldız, AhuA new generation of bio-inks that are soft, viscous enough, stable in cell culture, and printable at low printing pressures is required in the current state of 3D bioprinting technology. Hydrogels can meet these features and can mimic the microenvironment of soft tissues easily. Hydrocolloids are a group of hydrogels which have a suitable gelling capacity and rheological properties. According to the literature, polysaccharide-based hydrocolloids are used in the food industry, wound healing technologies, and tissue engineering. Quince seed hydrocolloids (QSHs), which consist of mostly glucuronoxylan, can easily be obtained from quince seeds by water extraction. In this study, the use of a QSH as a bio-ink was investigated. The suitability of QSH for the printing process was assessed by rheological, uniformity and pore factor analyses. Appropriate printing parameters were determined and the characterization of the bioprinted QSHs was performed by SEM analysis, water uptake capacity measurement, and protein adsorption assay. The bioprinted QSHs had excellent water uptake capacity and showed suitable protein adsorption behaviour. Analyses of the biocompatibility and cellular viability of bioprinted QSHs were conducted using NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells and the results were found to be high during short and long-term cell culture periods. It was proved that QSH is a highly promising bio-ink for 3D bioprinting and further tissue engineering applications.Article Citation - WoS: 61Citation - Scopus: 64Electrospun Gelma Fibers and P(hema) Matrix Composite for Corneal Tissue Engineering(Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Arıca, Tuğçe A.; Güzelgülgen, Meltem; Yıldız, Ahu Arslan; Demir, Mustafa MuammerThe development of biocompatible and transparent three-dimensional materials is desirable for corneal tissue engineering. Inspired from the cornea structure, gelatin methacryloyl-poly(2-hydroxymethyl methacrylate) (GelMA-p(HEMA)) composite hydrogel was fabricated. GelMA fibers were produced via electrospinning and covered with a thin layer of p(HEMA) in the presence of N,N?-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as cross-linker by drop-casting. The structure of resulting GelMA-p(HEMA) composite was characterized by spectrophotometry, microscopy, and swelling studies. Biocompatibility and biological properties of the both p(HEMA) and GelMA-p(HEMA) composite have been investigated by 3D cell culture, red blood cell hemolysis, and protein adsorption studies (i.e., human serum albumin, human immunoglobulin and egg white lysozyme). The optical transmittance of the GelMA-p(HEMA) composite was found to be approximately 70% at 550 nm. The GelMA-p(HEMA) composite was biocompatible with tear fluid proteins and convenient for cell adhesion and growth. Thus, as prepared hydrogel composite may find extensive applications in future for the development of corneal tissue engineering as well as preparation of stroma of the corneal material. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
