Another collaboration with Ankara HBV and Bogazici Universities has come to fruition and the paper titled “Adsorption behavior of serum proteins on anodized titanium is driven by surface nanomorphology” has been published in the journal AVS-BioInterphases. Our study discusses the investigation of protein adsorption behavior on bare and anodized titanium (Ti) samples and focuses on the effect of nanoscale surface topography on the adsorption behavior of human serum albumin, immunoglobulin G and fibrinogen. The study compares the amount adsorbed and the conformational changes of the proteins on surfaces with different nanomorphologies. The results show that the nanomorphology of the surfaces significantly affects the conformation of adsorbed serum proteins, even for surfaces with similar roughness values. The study highlights the influence of nanoscale surface topography on protein adsorption behavior and sheds light on the role of surface properties in defining the in vivo response to materials.

The study titled “The Effects of Heteroatom Doping and Physicochemical Character on Electrochemical Properties of Graphene Sheets”, which includes the results of Zahid’s master’s thesis, has been accepted to be published in the ChemNanoMat journal of Wiley. We would like to thank those who helped us with this publication, especially Dr. Dinçer Gökcen and Micro Nano Systems Laboratory, for their contributions. Well done Zahid!

The signing ceremony of the “Next Generation Biomaterials Technologies Research Network for Healthy Life” project, which was entitled to be supported within the scope of “TÜBİTAK 1004 – High Technology Platforms was completed at Teknofest held at Istanbul Atatürk Airport on April 30, 2023.

Our research team will take part in 3 sub-projects of the entire research platform by contributing studies in conductive hydrogels for functional biomimetic materials and nano scaled surface modification of hip prosthesis of new titanium alloys for better osseointegration.
