Bioactive peptide nanofibers for acceleration of burn wound healing
(Bilkent University, 2017-05)Burn injuries are one of the most typical types of trauma worldwide, and the unique physiology of burn injuries requires the use of specialized therapeutic materials for treatment and makes the development of such materials ... -
Bioactive porous peg-peptide composite hydrogels with tunable mechanical properties
(Bilkent University, 2014)Mimicking the instructive cues of native extracellular matrix (ECM) is fundamental to understand and control the processes regulating cell function and cell fate. Extensive research on the structure and biological ... -
Heparin mimetic peptide nanofiber gel promotes regeneration of full thickness burn injury
(Elsevier Ltd, 2017)Burn injuries are one of the most common types of trauma worldwide, and their unique physiology requires the development of specialized therapeutic materials for their treatment. Here, we report the use of synthetic, ... -
In situ synthesis of biomolecule encapsulated gold-cross-linked poly(ethylene glycol) nanocomposite as biosensing platform: A model study
(Elsevier BV, 2010)In situ synthesis of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels containing gold nanoparticles(AuNPs) and glucose oxidase (GOx) enzyme by photo-induced electron transfer process was reported here and applied in electrochemical ... -
Laminin mimetic peptide nanofibers regenerate acute muscle defect
(Acta Materialia Inc, 2017)Skeletal muscle cells are terminally differentiated and require the activation of muscle progenitor (satellite) cells for their regeneration. There is a clinical need for faster and more efficient treatment methods for ... -
Mechanically controlled liesegang pattern formation in stretchable polyacrylamide gels for elastic deformation tracking
(Bilkent University, 2019-08)Pattern formation in nature has been intellectually appealing for many scientists since antiquity. Simultaneous diffusion and reaction of chemicals in gel media may lead to precipitation and complex pattern formation through ... -
One-dimensional peptide nanostructure templated growth of iron phosphate nanostructures for lithium-ion battery cathodes
(American Chemical Society, 2016-06)Template-directed synthesis of nanomaterials can provide benefits such as small crystalline size, high surface area, large surface-to-volume ratio, and structural stability. These properties are important for shorter ... -
Peptide nanostructure templated growth of iron phosphate nanostrustures for energy storage applications
(Bilkent University, 2015-12)The use of primary cells has been replaced with rechargeable batteries due to environmental concerns. Li-ion batteries are examples of the rechargeable batteries that have replaced other types of rechargeable batteries ... -
Self-assembled peptide amphiphile nanofibers and PEG composite hydrogels as tunable ECM mimetic microenvironment
(American Chemical Society, 2015)(Figure Presented). Natural extracellular matrix (ECM) consists of complex signals interacting with each other to organize cellular behavior and responses. This sophisticated microenvironment can be mimicked by advanced ... -
Three-Dimensional Laminin Mimetic Peptide Nanofiber Gels for In Vitro Neural Differentiation
(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2017)The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides biochemical signals and structural support for cells, and its functional imitation is a fundamental aspect of biomaterial design for regenerative medicine applications. The stimulation ...
