Introduction of Nature's Complexity in Engineered Blood‐compatible Biomaterials

Abstract: Biomaterials with excellent blood-compatibility are needed for applications in vascular replacement therapies, such as vascular grafts, heart valves and stents, and in extracorporeal devices such as hemodialysis machines and blood-storage bags. The modification of materials that are being used for blood-contacting devices has advanced from passive surface modifications to the design of more complex, smart biomaterials that respond to relevant stimuli from blood to counteract coagulation. Logically, the main so… Show more

“…For biomedical applications, control over the adhesion of cells and adsorption of proteins at the biomaterial surface is important to tune the response to tissue the biomaterial is exposed to . Antifouling functionalization is often used to improve biomaterial performance to resist fouling, or to aid in specific bioactivation . Besides covalent strategies functional antifouling additives can be simply mixed with base polymers to create biomaterials with antifouling properties.…”

“…Here, we focus on the recent progresses made in the development of fibrinolytic surfaces by Chen et al; further, the first two strategies are not described in detail due to space limitations; interested readers should refer to other excellent reviews. 431,453,454 Generally, fibrinolytic surfaces mimic the naturally occurring fibrinolytic processes in the body by the generation of a clot-lysing enzyme called plasmin to break down the nascent clot before it poses any danger. 455 The two main proteins involved in this process were plasminogen (Plg)-a precursor of plasmin-and a plasminogen activator (e.g., tissue plasminogen activator, tPA).…”

“…synthetic biomaterials often allow greater control over physical properties such as mechanical stiffness, degradation rate, and porosity [43,44]. More recently, smart synthetic biomaterials with enhanced functionality such as self-assembly, self-healing, thermo-responsiveness, and pH-responsiveness have also been developed for TE applications [45][46][47][48]. Some examples of synthetic biomaterials that have been extensively used for the engineering of cardiovascular constructs include poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) [49], poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) [50], poly (L-lactic acid) (PLA) [51], poly (glycolic acid) (PGA) [52], and biodegradable polyurethanes (PUs) [53].…”
