Pelin Toros

Pelin Toros is a Lecturer in the Department of Basic Medical Sciences at the Faculty of Medicine, Bandırma Onyedi Eylül University, a position she has held since 2023. Her academic career includes teaching histology courses and conducting extensive research in biomedical sciences.

Her primary research interests include:

• Histological examination of diabetic complications, particularly on testicular tissue and blood-testicular barrier
• Stem cell applications in wound healing and tissue regeneration
• Effects of herbal medicines on various cancer cell lines including breast, colon, prostate, and neuroblastoma
• Mechanisms of apoptosis and cell proliferation in response to natural compounds
• Electromagnetic field effects on cancer cells
• Ischemia-reperfusion injury and protective agents

Dr. Toros's publication record shows consistent scholarly output since 2017, with recent emphasis on diabetes complications and herbal medicine effects. Her work typically employs experimental animal models, particularly rats and mice, to investigate pathological mechanisms and evaluate therapeutic interventions. She has published in international journals such as the International Journal of Morphology and Folia Morphologica.

Her significant research contributions include:

• Completion of the TUBITAK-supported project 'Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Application on Tight Junction Proteins in the Blood-Testicular Barrier in Diabetic Rat Testicular Tissue' (2020-2021)
• Authorship of book chapters including 'Vitamins with Multidisciplinary Approaches' (2022)
• Co-authorship of 'IVPE' (2018)

Dr. Toros has presented her research at numerous national and international conferences, demonstrating active engagement with the scientific community. Her work bridges basic science with potential clinical applications, particularly in diabetes complications, cancer treatment, and regenerative medicine.
