Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 11Stem Cells Combined 3D Electrospun Nanofibrous and Macrochannelled Matrices: A Preliminary Approach in Repair of Rat Cranial Bones(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019-04-03) Isoglu, Ismail Alper; Bolgen, Nimet; Korkusuz, Petek; Vargel, Ibrahim; Celik, Hakan Hamdi; Kilic, Emine; Piskin, ErhanRepair of cranial bone defects is an important problem in the clinical area. The use of scaffolds combined with stem cells has become a focus in the reconstruction of critical-sized bone defects. Electrospinning became a very attracting method in the preparation of tissue engineering scaffolds in the last decade, due to the unique nanofibrous structure of the electrospun matrices. However, they have a limitation for three dimensional (3D) applications, due to their two-dimensional structure and pore size which is smaller than a cellular diameter which cannot allow cell migration within the structure. In this study, electrospun poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) membranes were spirally wounded to prepare 3D matrices composed of nanofibers and macrochannels. Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells were injected inside the scaffolds after the constructs were implanted in the cranial bone defects in rats. New bone formation, vascularisation and intramembranous ossification of the critical size calvarial defect were accelerated by using mesenchymal stem cells combined 3D spiral-wounded electrospun matrices.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3HER2-Specific Peptide (LTWWYSPY) and Antibody (Herceptin) Targeted Core Cross-Linked Micelles for Breast Cancer: A Comparative Study(MDPI, 2023-02-22) Bayram, Nazende Nur; Ulu, Gizem Tugce; Abdulhadi, Nusaibah Abdulsalam; Guerdap, Seda; Isoglu, Ismail Alper; Baran, Yusuf; Isoglu, Sevil Dincer; Gürdap, SedaThis study aims to prepare a novel breast cancer-targeted micelle-based nanocarrier, which is stable in circulation, allowing intracellular drug release, and to investigate its cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and cytostatic effects, in vitro. The shell part of the micelle is composed of zwitterionic sulfobetaine ((N-3-sulfopropyl-N,N-dimethylamonium)ethyl methacrylate), while the core part is formed by another block, consisting of AEMA (2-aminoethyl methacrylamide), DEGMA (di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate), and a vinyl-functionalized, acid-sensitive cross-linker. Following this, a targeting agent (peptide (LTVSPWY) and antibody (Herceptin((R)))), in varying amounts, were coupled to the micelles, and they were characterized by H-1 NMR, FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy), Zetasizer, BCA protein assay, and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The cytotoxic, cytostatic, apoptotic, and genotoxic effects of doxorubicin-loaded micelles were investigated on SKBR-3 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive) and MCF10-A (HER2-negative). According to the results, peptide-carrying micelles showed a higher targeting efficiency and better cytostatic, apoptotic, and genotoxic activities than antibody-carrying and non-targeted micelles. Also, micelles masked the toxicity of naked DOX on healthy cells. In conclusion, this nanocarrier system has great potential to be used in different drug-targeting strategies, by changing targeting agents and drugs.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Cinnamomum Zeylanicum Extract Incorporated Electrospun Poly(Lactic Acid)/ Gelatin Membrane as a New Wound Dressing(Elsevier, 2025-08) Tarhan, Seray Zora; Pepe, Nihan Aktas; Sen, Alaattin; Isoglu, Ismail AlperIn this study, we fabricated poly(lactic acid)/gelatin electrospun membranes containing various concentrations of Cinnamomum zeylanicum extract and evaluated them as a novel wound dressing. The electrospun membranes were chemically, morphologically, and mechanically characterized, and the results were discussed in comparison with the literature. Electrospun membranes' biodegradability, swelling, and release properties were evaluated, with the CE7.5 membrane having values of 29.60 f 7.20 and 542.1 f 48.3 % and 66.9 %, respectively. Antibacterial activity was observed in CE7.5 and CE10 membranes against E. coli and S. aureus strains. At the highest concentration (CE10), 111.7 f 5.6 % and 96 f 12.375 % cell viability were detected in fibroblasts and differentiated LPS-induced THP-1 cells. Cell viability was further evaluated by Annexin-V/PI staining, revealing that 97.95 f 1.63 % of the cells remained viable in the CE7.5-treated membranes, while only 1.85 f 1.49 % of necrotic cells were detected in the treated cell population. Fibroblasts treated with the CE7.5 membrane showed a 42 % improvement in wound closure compared to non-treated cells. The anti-inflammatory properties of the electrospun membranes were also investigated. Treatment with the conditioned CE7.5 membrane downregulated Tba1 and tau proteins by 45.1 and 51.055 %, respectively. This study concluded that the newly developed Cinnamomum zeylanicum extract incorporated poly(lactic acid)/gelatin electrospun membranes could be a promising wound dressing material.
