Abstract
Surface topography is a biophysical factor affecting cell behaviors, yet the underlying cues are still not clear. Herein, we hypothesized that stereo coverage and overall stiffness of biomaterial arrays on the scale of single cells underly parts of topography effects on cell adhesion. We fabricated a series of microarrays (micropillar, micropit, and microtube) of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) using mold casting based on pre-designed templates. The characteristic sizes of array units were less than that of a single cell, and thus, each cell could sense the micropatterns with varied roughness. With human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) as the model cell type, we examined spreading areas and cell viabilities on different surfaces. "Stereo coverage" was defined to quantify the actual cell spreading fraction on a topographic surface. Particularly in the case of high micropillars, cells were confirmed not able to touch the bottom and had to partially hang among the micropillars. Then, in our opinion, a cell sensed the overall stiffness combining the bulk stiffness of the raw material and the stiffness of the culture medium. Spreading area and single cell viability were correlated to coverage and topographic feature of the prepared microarrays in particular with the significantly protruded geometry feather. Cell traction forces exerted on micropillars were also discussed. These findings provide new insights into the surface modifications toward biomedical implants.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a widespread and highly virulent pathogen that can cause superficial and invasive infections. Interactions between S. aureus surface receptors and the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin mediate the bacterial invasion of host cells and is implicated in the colonization of medical implant surfaces. In this study, we investigate the role of distribution of both fibronectin and cellular receptors on the adhesion of S. aureus to interfaces as a model for primary adhesion at tissue interfaces or biomaterials. We present fibronectin in patches of systematically varied size (100-1000 nm) in a background of protein and bacteria rejecting chemistry based on PLL-g-PEG and studied S. aureus adhesion under flow. We developed a single molecule imaging assay for localizing fibronectin binding receptors on the surface of S. aureus via the super-resolution DNA points accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT) technique. Our results indicate that S. aureus adhesion to fibronectin biointerfaces is regulated by the size of available ligand patterns, with an adhesion threshold of 300 nm and larger. DNA-PAINT was used to visualize fibronectin binding receptor organization in situ at ∼7 nm localization precision and with a surface density of 38-46 μm-2, revealing that the engagement of two or more receptors is required for strong S. aureus adhesion to fibronectin biointerfaces.

The role of the cell surface glycocalyx in drug delivery to and through the endothelium. Adv Drug Deliv Rev 2022; 184:114195.

Abstract
Cell membranes are key interfaces where materials engineering meets biology. Traditionally regarded as just the location of receptors regulating the uptake of molecules, we now know that all mammalian cell membranes are 'sugar coated'. These sugars, or glycans, form a matrix bound at the cell membrane via proteins and lipids, referred to as the glycocalyx, which modulate access to cell membrane receptors crucial for interactions with drug delivery systems (DDS). Focusing on the key blood-tissue barrier faced by most DDS to enable transport from the place of administration to target sites via the circulation, we critically assess the design of carriers for interactions at the endothelial cell surface. We also discuss the current challenges for this area and provide opportunities for future research efforts to more fully engineer DDS for controlled, efficient, and targeted interactions with the endothelium for therapeutic application.

Abstract
In vivo cells reside in a complex extracellular matrix (ECM) that presents spatially distributed biochemical and -physical cues at the nano- to micrometer scales. Chemical micropatterning is successfully used to generate adhesive islands to control where and how cells attach and restore cues of the ECM in vitro. Although chemical micropatterning has become a powerful tool to study cell-material interactions, only a fraction of the possible micropattern designs was covered so far, leaving many other possible designs still unexplored. Here, a high-throughput screening platform called "Galapagos chip" is developed. It contains a library of 2176 distinct subcellular chemical patterns created using mathematical algorithms and a straightforward UV-induced two-step surface modification. This approach enables the immobilization of ligands in geometrically defined regions onto cell culture substrates. To validate the system, binary RGD/polyethylene glycol patterns are prepared on which human mesenchymal stem cells are cultured, and the authors observe how different patterns affect cell and organelle morphology. As proof of concept, the cells are stained for the mechanosensitive YAP protein, and, using a machine-learning algorithm, it is demonstrated that cell shape and YAP nuclear translocation correlate. It is concluded that the Galapagos chip is a versatile platform to screen geometrical aspects of cell-ECM interaction.

Abstract
There is an increasing need for the development of superior, safe, and more sophisticated implants, especially as our society historically has been moving towards an increasingly aging population. Currently, most research is being focused on the next generation of advanced medical implants, that are not only biocompatible but have modified surfaces that direct specific immunomodulation at cellular level. While there is a plethora of information on cell-surface interaction and how surfaces can be nanofabricated at research level, less is known about how the academic knowledge has been translated into clinical trials and commercial technologies. In this review, we provide a clinical translational perspective on the use of controlled physical surface modification of medical implants, presenting an analysis of data acquired from clinical trials and commercial products. We also evaluate the state-of-the-art of nanofabrication techniques that are being applied for implant surface modification at a clinical level. Finally, we identify some current challenges in the field, including the need of more advanced nanopatterning techniques, the comparatively small number of clinical trials and comment on future avenues to be explored for a successful clinical translation.

Abstract
The complex interaction of cells with biomaterials (i.e., materiobiology) plays an increasingly pivotal role in the development of novel implants, biomedical devices, and tissue engineering scaffolds to treat diseases, aid in the restoration of bodily functions, construct healthy tissues, or regenerate diseased ones. However, the conventional approaches are incapable of screening the huge amount of potential material parameter combinations to identify the optimal cell responses and involve a combination of serendipity and many series of trial-and-error experiments. For advanced tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, highly efficient and complex bioanalysis platforms are expected to explore the complex interaction of cells with biomaterials using combinatorial approaches that offer desired complex microenvironments during healing, development, and homeostasis. In this review, we first introduce materiobiology and its high-throughput screening (HTS). Then we present an in-depth of the recent progress of 2D/3D HTS platforms (i.e., gradient and microarray) in the principle, preparation, screening for materiobiology, and combination with other advanced technologies. The Compendium for Biomaterial Transcriptomics and high content imaging, computational simulations, and their translation toward commercial and clinical uses are highlighted. In the final section, current challenges and future perspectives are discussed. High-throughput experimentation within the field of materiobiology enables the elucidation of the relationships between biomaterial properties and biological behavior and thereby serves as a potential tool for accelerating the development of high-performance biomaterials.

Abstract
Microarrays have become extremely powerful experimental tools for high-throughput screening of cell behaviors in multivariate microenvironments. Herein, a microarray-based high-throughput platform with biochemistry gradients was developed using poly(limonene carbonate) (PLimC) as a substrate through thiol-ene click chemistry. ATR-IR, XPS, Raman spectrum, and water contact angle results demonstrated that the sulfhydryl molecules, including PEG (polyethylene glycol) and RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) peptide, could be grafted onto PLimC substrates, while the grafting density could be well controlled by regulating the intensity of UV irradiation. Then, microarrays with a gradient of RGD grafting density were fabricated by using UV irradiation patterned by a photomask and a gradient light filter. Adhesion experiments of smooth muscle cells and 3T3-L1 mouse embryonic fibroblast cells proved that the cell behaviors were highly determined by the RGD density. This platform puts forward a facile, high-throughput method to study the effect of biochemical signal density on cell behaviors.

Abstract
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are widely represented in regenerative medicine clinical strategies due to their compatibility with autologous implantation. Effective bone regeneration involves crosstalk between macrophages and hMSCs, with macrophages playing a key role in the recruitment and differentiation of hMSCs. However, engineered biomaterials able to simultaneously direct hMSC fate and modulate macrophage phenotype have not yet been identified. A novel combinatorial chemistry-topography screening platform, the ChemoTopoChip, is used here to identify materials suitable for bone regeneration by screening 1008 combinations in each experiment for human immortalized mesenchymal stem cell (hiMSCs) and human macrophage response. The osteoinduction achieved in hiMSCs cultured on the "hit" materials in basal media is comparable to that seen when cells are cultured in osteogenic media, illustrating that these materials offer a materials-induced alternative to osteo-inductive supplements in bone-regeneration. Some of these same chemistry-microtopography combinations also exhibit immunomodulatory stimuli, polarizing macrophages towards a pro-healing phenotype. Maximum control of cell response is achieved when both chemistry and topography are recruited to instruct the required cell phenotype, combining synergistically. The large combinatorial library allows us for the first time to probe the relative cell-instructive roles of microtopography and material chemistry which we find to provide similar ranges of cell modulation for both cues. Machine learning is used to generate structure-activity relationships that identify key chemical and topographical features enhancing the response of both cell types, providing a basis for a better understanding of cell response to micro topographically patterned polymers.

Abstract
The concept of high-throughput screening sheds new light on fabrication and analysis of materials. Herein, a combinatorial surface-modified platform with biochemical gradients was developed through thiol-ene "click" chemistry by adjusting the intensity of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation. Contact angle, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and ellipsometry measurement results demonstrated that the sulfhydryl molecules including polyethylene glycol and RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) and REDV (arginine-glutamic acid-aspartic acid-valine) peptides can be directly attached onto alkene-modified substrates, in which the graft density can be well controlled by the intensity of UV irradiation. The multistep attachment of different molecules onto substrates is archived via the multistep UV-initiated thiol-ene "click" reaction. The high-throughput arrays with the gradient density of single ligand and the orthogonal gradient density of two ligands were rapidly fabricated via the one-step UV gradient irradiation and the two-step orthogonal UV gradient-initiated thiol-ene "click" reaction. Endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) were cocultured on the array with the orthogonal gradient density of RGD and REDV to screen the peptide combination with high EC selectivity, which is essential for in situ endothelialization during stent implant. From 64, 8 × 8, combinations investigated, a special combinatorial surface representing the really high competitiveness of ECs over SMCs was screened. This platform puts forward a facile, high-throughput method to study the combinatorial variation of biochemical signals to cell behavior.

Abstract
The use of patterned platforms to print cellular arrays enables the high-throughput study of cell behavior under a multitude of different conditions. This rapid, cost-saving and systematic way of acquiring biologically relevant information has found application in diverse scientific and industrial fields. In an initial stage of development, platforms targeting high-throughput cellular studies were restricted to standard two-dimensional (2D) setups. The design of novel platforms compatible with three-dimensional (3D) cell culture arose after the elucidation of the extreme importance of culturing cells in matrices resembling the native extracellular matrix-cells and cell-cell interactions. This need for biomimetic environments has been established in fields like drug discovery and testing, disease model development, and regenerative medicine. Here, we provide a description of the processing of flat platforms based on wettability contrast, compatible with the high-throughput generation and study of cell response in 3D biomaterials, including cell-laden hydrogels and porous 3D scaffolds. The application of the aforementioned platforms to produce 3D microtissues, which may find application as tissue models for drug screening or as biomimetic building blocks for tissue engineering, is also addressed. In this chapter, a description of the steps for (1) high-throughput platform processing, (2) deposition of cell and biomaterial arrays, and (3) image-based results screening is provided.

Abstract
Surface micropatterns have been widely used as chemical cues to control the microenvironment of cultured neurons, particularly for neurobiological assays and neurochip designs. However, the cell-type dependency on the interactions between neurons and underlying micropatterns has been rarely investigated despite the inherent differences in the morphology of neuronal types. In this study, we used surface-printed microdot arrays to investigate the effect of the same micropatterns on the growth of mouse spinal interneuron, mouse hippocampal neurons, and rat hippocampal neurons. While mouse hippocampal neurons showed no significantly different growth on control and patterned substrates, we found the microdot arrays had different effects on early neuronal growth depending on the cell type; spinal interneurons tended to grow faster in length, whereas hippocampal neurons tended to form more axon collateral branches in response to the microdot arrays. Although there was a similar trend in the neurite length and branch number of both neurons changed across the microdot arrays with the expanded range of size and spacing, the dominant responses of each neuron, neurite elongation of mouse spinal interneurons and branching augmentation of rat hippocampal neurons were still preserved. Therefore, our results demonstrate that the same design of micropatterns could cause different neuronal growth results, raising an intriguing issue of considering cell types in neural interface designs.
