Angiogenic peptide nanofibers improve wound healing in STZ-induced diabetic rats
(American Chemical Society, 2016-06)Low expressions of angiogenic growth factors delay the healing of diabetic wounds by interfering with the process of blood vessel formation. Heparin mimetic peptide nanofibers can bind to and enhance production and activity ... -
IKKs and tumor cell plasticity
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2018)Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) transcription factors are the central hubs of signaling pathways connecting proinflammatory signals to cell survival, proliferation and cytokine production. In cancers, NF-κB signaling influences ... -
Immunomodulatory potential of human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cell (UCX®) exosomes in combination with immunosuppressive “A151” oligodeoxynucleotide
(Bilkent University, 2019-08)Mesenchymal stromal or stem cells (MSCs) modulate immune responses apart from their regenerative capacities. Accumulating evidence suggests that MSCs exert their paracrine effects through extracellular vesicles known as ... -
Metabolomics approaches in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis
(Elsevier, 2018)A myelin basic protein (MBP)-induced experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) involves paraplegia due to a reversible thoracolumbar spinal cord impairment. The aims of this study were thus to find significant ... -
Opposing roles of the aldo-keto reductases AKR1B1 and AKR1B10 in colorectal cancer
(Springer Netherlands, 2017-09)Purpose: Aldo-keto reductases (including AKR1B1 and AKR1B10) constitute a family of oxidoreductases that have been implicated in the pathophysiology of diabetes and cancer, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Available data ... -
Therapeutic potential of an immunosuppressive oligodeoxynucleotide encapsulated within liposomes on bleomycin-induced mouse model of lung inflammation and fibrosis
(Bilkent University, 2019-06)Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune/autoinflammatory disease with unknown etiology. It is characterized by vascular dysfunction, inflammation and disseminated fibrosis of skin or internal organs. Although its prevalence ...
