Very excited and proud to share the latest publication from our strong collaboration between Engineering and medical school-ophthalmology department in #actabiomaterialia, prestigious journal of the biomaterials field. Keratoconus is one of the most frequent corneal disorder that results in the loss of vision in advanced stages. Current approach uses riboflavin and ultraviolet light-based photo-crosslinking of cornea, which results in irreversible side effects and can only be applied to limited number of patients. In this study, we used visible light and organoruthenium for crosslinking of bovine corneas, which lead to significant biocompatibility and superior mechanical properties compared to the existing approach. Our approach promises to translate into a new fast, efficient non-surgical therapy option for all ectatic corneal pathologies. Huge congratulations to our team members! @kocuniversity #Keratoconus #Ruthenium #visiblelight #cornea #collagen

An important step to shed light on the treatment of ALS, a non-curable disease... Prof. A. Nazlı Başak (KUTTAM-NDAL, Suna and Inan Kıraç Foundation) and Ass. Prof. Hamzah Syed (KUTTAM) received support from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research/ International Development Research Center (CIHR/IDRC) with their project on “The Oral And Gut Microbiome And Their Derived Metabolites in Sex Differences in ALS". Researchers will investigate the relationship between ALS, a non-curable brain disease and the role, specific gut microorganisms might play in the development of ALS.

Prof Tuğba Bağcı Önder from the School of Medicine, Postdoc Researcher Alişan Kayabölen from Koç University Research Center for Translational Medicine (KUTTAM) and their team designed a new molecule to fight against SARS-CoV2, which caused the COVID-19 pandemic. This molecule, placed between the virus and the ACE2 receptor, which the virus uses to enter the cell, will be able to prevent the virus from entering our body by clinging on to the receptor. The article about the research was published in one of the most prestigious journals in its field, Advanced Science.
