Endothelial progenitor cells display clonal restriction in multiple myeloma

Braunstein, M.; Özçelik, T.; Baǧişlar, S.; Vakil, V.; Smith, E. L. P.; Dai, K.; Akyerli, C. B.; Batuman O. A. (BioMed Central Ltd., 2006)

Background: In multiple myeloma (MM), increased neoangiogenesis contributes to tumor growth and disease progression. Increased levels of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) contribute to neoangiogenesis in MM, and, ...

Evidence from autoimmune thyroiditis of skewed X-chromosome inactivation in female predisposition to autoimmunity

Ozcelik, T.; Uz, E.; Akyerli, C. B.; Bagislar, S.; Mustafa, C. A.; Gursoy, A.; Akarsu, N.; Toruner, G.; Kamel, N.; Gullu, S. (Nature Publishing Group, 2006)

The etiologic factors in the development of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) are not fully understood. We investigated the role of skewed X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) mosaicism in female predisposition to AITDs. One ...

Expression of IFITM1 in chronic myeloid leukemia patients

Akyerli, C. B.; Beksac, M.; Holko, M.; Frevel, M.; Dalva, K.; Özbek, U.; Soydan, E.; Özcan, M.; Özet, G.; İlhan, O.; Gürman, G.; Akan, H.; Williams, B. R. G.; Özçelik, T. (Elsevier, 2005)

We investigated the peripheral blood gene expression profile of interferon induced transmembrane protein 1 (IFITM1) in sixty chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients classified according to new prognostic score (NPS). IFITM1 ...

MDM2 T309G polymorphism is associated with bladder cancer

Onat, O. E.; Tez, M.; Özçelik, T.; Törüner, G. A. (International Institute of Anticancer Research, 2006)

Recently, a functional T to G polymorphism at nucleotide 309 in the promoter region of the MDM2 gene (rs: 2279744, SNP 309) has been identified. This polymorphism has an impact on the expression of the MDM2 gene, which is ...

Characterization of a novel zebrafish (Danio rerio) gene, wdr81, associated with cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and dysequilibrium syndrome (CAMRQ)

Doldur-Balli, F.; Ozel, M. N.; Gulsuner, S.; Tekinay, A. B.; Ozcelik, T.; Konu, O.; Adams, M. M. (BioMed Central Ltd., 2015)

Background: WDR81 (WD repeat-containing protein 81) is associated with cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and disequilibrium syndrome (CAMRQ2, [MIM 610185]). Human and mouse studies suggest that it might be a gene of ...

Novel VLDLR microdeletion identified in two Turkish siblings with pachygyria and pontocerebellar atrophy

Kolb, L. E.; Arlier, Z.; Yalcinkaya, C.; Ozturk, A. K.; Moliterno, J. A.; Erturk, O.; Bayrakli, F.; Korkmaz, B.; DiLuna, M. L.; Yasuno, K.; Bilguvar, K.; Ozcelik, T.; Tuysuz, B.; State, M. W.; Gunel, M. (Springer, 2010)

Congenital ataxia with cerebellar hypoplasia is a heterogeneous group of disorders that presents with motor disability, hypotonia, incoordination, and impaired motor development. Among these, disequilibrium syndrome describes ...

Angiogenic heparin-mimetic peptide nanofiber gel improves regenerative healing of acute wounds

Uzunalli, G.; Mammadov R.; Yesildal, F.; Alhan, D.; Ozturk, S.; Ozgurtas, T.; Güler, Mustafa O.; Tekinay, A. B. (American Chemical Society, 2017)

Wound repair in adult mammals typically ends with the formation of a scar, which prevents full restoration of the function of the healthy tissue, although most of the wounded skin heals. Rapid and functional recovery of ...

Angiogenic peptide nanofibers repair cardiac tissue defect after myocardial infarction

Rufaihah, A. J.; Yasa, I. C.; Ramanujam, V. S.; Arularasu, S. C.; Kofidis, T.; Güler, Mustafa O.; Tekinay, A. B. (Acta Materialia Inc, 2017)

Myocardial infarction remains one of the top leading causes of death in the world and the damage sustained in the heart eventually develops into heart failure. Limited conventional treatment options due to the inability ...

Laminin mimetic peptide nanofibers regenerate acute muscle defect

Cimenci, C. E.; Uzunalli, G.; Uysal, O.; Yergoz, F.; Umay, E. K.; Güler, Mustafa O.; Tekinay, A. B. (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 ...

Heparin mimetic peptide nanofiber gel promotes regeneration of full thickness burn injury

Yergoz, F.; Hastar, N.; Cimenci, C. E.; Ozkan, A. D.; Güler, Mustafa O.; Tekinay, A. B.; Tekinay, T.; Güler, Mustafa O. (Elsevier Ltd, 2017)
