Peptide-based diagnostic and therapeutic agents: Where we are and where we are heading? PARLAK KHALİLY, MELEK; Soydan, Medine (2022-11-01) Peptides are increasingly present in all branches of medicine as innovative drugs, imaging agents, theragnostic, and constituent moieties of other sophisticated drugs such as peptide-drug conjugates. Due to new developments in chemical synthesis strategies, computational biology, recombinant technology, and chemical biology, peptide drug development has made a great progress in the last decade. Numerous natural peptides and peptide mimics have been obtained and studied, covering multiple therapeutic areas. ...
CpG RNA: identification of novel single-stranded RNA that stimulates human CD14+CD11c+ monocytes. Sugiyama, T; Gürsel, Mayda; Takeshita, F; Coban, C; Conover, J; Kaisho, T; Akira, S; Klinman, DM; Ishii, KJ (The American Association of Immunologists, 2005-02-15) Synthetic immunostimulatory nucleic acids such as CpG DNA are being harnessed therapeutically as vaccine adjuvants, anticancer or antiallergic agents. Efforts to identify nucleic acid-based agents capable of more specifically modulating the immune system are being developed. The current study identifies a novel class of single-stranded oligoribonucleotides (ORN) containing unmethylated CpG motifs and a poly(G) run at the 3 end (CpG ORN) that directly stimulate human CD14 CD11c monocytes but not dendritic ...
Peptide-based drug systems / Parlak, Melek; Özçubukçu, Salih; Department of Chemistry (2017) The increasing appeal of safe, cheap and effective treatments against various type of diseases has paved the way for the discovery and development of innovative peptide-based drug and drug delivery systems. The relative ease with which peptide based-materials can be synthesized and the wide range of synthetic techniques available have ensured that these materials can be tuned to adopt specific conformation or modified to contain specific functional groups. Our major focus in this thesis is developing peptid...
Chondrogenic potential of macroporous biodegradable cryogels based on synthetic poly(alpha-amino acids) Sedlacik, T.; Acar, O. K.; Studenovska, H.; Kotelnikov, I.; Kucka, J.; Konecna, Z.; Zikmund, T.; Kaiser, J.; KÖSE, GAMZE; Rypacek, F. (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2018-01-14) In this study, the potential of highly porous hydrogels based on biodegradable synthetic poly(alpha-amino acids) to support proliferation and chondrogenesis of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) was investigated. Covalently crosslinked gels with permanent pores were formed under cryogenic conditions by free-radical copolymerization of poly[N-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-L-glutamine-stat-N-5-(2-methacryloyl-oxy-ethyl)- L-glutamine] (PHEG-MA) with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and N-propargyl methacrylamide (Pr...
Structural and biological assessment of boron doped bioactive glass nanoparticles for dental tissue applications Rad, Rezai Moonesi; Alshemary, Ammar Zeıdan Ghaılan; Evis, Zafer; Keskin, Dilek; Altunbas, Korhan; Tezcaner, Ayşen (2018-06-01) In this article, bioactive glass nanoparticles (BG-NPs) doped with boron were synthesized and characterized to evaluate their effects on human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). All synthesized BGs were nano-sized and amorphous in nature. They showed the expected characteristic functional groups and composition close to the designed ones by microstructural characterizations. Porositimetry analysis revealed that increase of boron in the BG composition caused a decrease in the specific surface area, average por...
