Abstract
Chiral surface is a critical mediator that significantly impacts interaction with biological systems on regulating cell behavior. To better understand how the properties of interfacial Chirality affect cell behavior and address the limitations of chiral materials for biomedical applications, in this review, we mainly focus on the recent developments of chiral bio-interfaces for the controllable and accurate guidance of chiral biomedical phenomena. In particular, we will discuss how cells or organisms sense and respond to the chiral stimulus, as well as the chirality mediating cell fate, tissue repair, and organism immune response will be reviewed. In addition, the biological applications of chirality, such as drug delivery, antibacterial, antivirus and antitumor activities, and biological signal detection, will also be reviewed. Finally, the challenges of chiral bio-interfaces for controlling biological response and the further application of interface chirality materials for biomedical will be discussed.

Abstract
Polylysines have been frequently used in drug delivery and antimicrobial and cell adhesion studies. Because of steric hindrance, chirality plays a major role in the functional difference between poly-l-lysine (PLL) and poly-d-lysine (PDL), especially when they interact with the plasma membranes of mammalian cells. Therefore, it is speculated that the interaction between chiral polylysines and the plasma membrane may cause different cellular behaviors. Here, we carefully investigated the interaction pattern of PLL and PDL with plasma membranes. We found that PDL could be anchored onto the plasma membrane and interact with the membrane lipids, leading to the rapid morphological change and death of A549 cells (a human lung cancer cell line) and HPAEpiCs (a human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cell line). In contrast, PLL exhibited good cytocompatibility and was not anchored onto the plasma membranes of these cells. Unlike PLL, PDL could trigger protective autophagy to prevent cells in a certain degree, and the PDL-caused cell death occurred via intense necrosis (featured by increased intracellular Ca2+ content and plasma membrane disruption). In addition, it was found that the short-chain PDL with a repeat unit number of 9 (termed DL9) could locate in lysosomes and induce autophagy at high concentrations, but it could not elicit drastic cell death, which proved that the repeat unit number of polylysine could affect its cellular action. This research confirms that the interaction between chiral polylysines and the plasma membrane can induce autophagy and intense necrosis, which provides guidance for the future studies of chiral molecules/drugs.

Abstract
Chirality is a fundamental phenomenon in biological systems, since most of the biomolecules and biological components and species are chiral and therefore recognize and respond differently depending on the enantiomer present. With increasing research into the use of nanomaterials for biomedical purposes, it is essential to understand the role that chirality of nanoparticles plays at the cellular level. Here, the chiral cysteine functionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles has been shown to broadly affect its interaction with U87 MG human glioblastoma cell, healthy human fibroblast (GM08680) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus bacteria. We believe that this research is important to further advancement of nano-biotechnology.

Abstract
Adsorption kinetic studies are conducted to investigate the potential to use chiral mesoporous materials nanoporous guanosine monophosphate material-1 (NGM-1) and nanoporous folic acid material-1 (NFM-1) for the enantiomeric separation of l- and d-valine. A pseudo-second-order (PSO) kinetic model is applied to test the experimental adsorption equilibrium isotherms, according to both the Langmuir and Freundlich models and the characteristic parameters for each model are determined. The calcined versions of both NGM-1 and NFM-1 fit the Langmuir model with maximum sorption capacities of 0.36 and 0.26 g/g for the preferred adsorption enantiomers, d-valine and l-valine, respectively. Experimental results and the analysis of adsorption models suggest a strong adsorbate–adsorbent interaction, and the formation of a monolayer of tightly packed amino acid on the internal mesopore surface for the preferred enantiomers.

Abstract
The influence of chirality on cell behavior is closely related with relevant biological events; however, many recent studies only focus on the apparent chiral influence of supramolecular nanofibers and ignore the respective effects of molecular chirality and supramolecular chirality in biological processes. Herein, the inherent molecular and supramolecular chiral effects on cell spreading and differentiation are studied. Left-handed nanofibers (referring to supramolecular chirality) assembled from l-amino acid derivatives can enhance cell spreading and proliferation compared to flat l-surfaces (referring to molecular chirality). However, compared to the d-surfaces (referring to molecular chirality), right-handed nanofibers (referring to supramolecular chirality) derived from d-amino acid suppress cell spreading and proliferation, overturning the conventional view that a fibrous morphology generally enhances cell adhesion. The results directly suggest that the amplification of chirality from chiral molecules to chiral assemblies significantly enhances the effect on regulated cell behavior by supramolecular helical handedness. Moreover, cell differentiation is found to be chirality dependent. It suggests that both the l-amino acid derivatives and the left-handed fibers facilitate osteogenic differentiation. This study provides useful insight into understanding the origin of chiral expression from the molecular to the macroscopic level in nature.

Abstract
Antibiotics abusing caused multi-drug resistant bacteria was an urgent need to develop effective alternatives to antibiotics. L-Cysteine is an amino acid commonly found in organisms, which is usually used as food additive and detoxication, while the antibacterial activity of L-Cysteine against pathogenic bacteria is rarely reported. Here, we demonstrated the broad-spectrum and selected antibacterial properties of D-/L-Cysteine, for the first time, D-Cysteine (D-Cys) and L-Cysteine (L-Cys) exhibited distinct antibacterial activity based on different bacteria (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella enteritis). Among the four bacteria, L-Cys exhibited preferred antibacterial activity against S. aureus, while D-Cys showed stronger antibacterial activity against other three bacteria compared with L-Cys. Through analyzing cell structure of E. coli, it was demonstrated that D/L-Cys could destroy the integrity of E. coli cell membrane, which further resulted in the leakage of cell contents and cell death. This work has a potential value for the development of chiral bacteriostatic materials.

Abstract
β-HgS quantum dots (QDs) have drawn enormous attention due to the size-tunable bandgap and the lowest quantum state in conduction band which have been applied to semiconductor transistor and photodetector. Though β-HgS is the essential component of Tibetan medicine, the potential toxicity of β-HgS limits its applications, especially in bio-application. Herein, chiral biomolecule enantiomers N-isobutyryl-L(D)-cysteine (L(D)-NIBC) and L(D)-cysteine (L(D)-Cys) were introduced into HgCl2 and Na2S aqueous solution to synthesize chiral β-HgS QDs in one-pot, which significantly improved their water-solubility and cytocompatibility. Notably, all chiral β-HgS QDs showed none cytotoxicity even at high concentration (20 mg·L-1), and the cytocompatibility of D-β-HgS QDs was better than corresponding L-β-HgS QDs at the concentration of 20 mg·L-1. This cytotoxicity discrimination was associated with the chirality inversion of chiral β-HgS QDs compared with the corresponding chiral ligands. In-situ real-time circular dichroism (CD) monitoring indicated that the chirality of β-HgS QDs originated from the asymmetrical arrangement of chiral ligands on the achiral core surface. Their chiroptical activity, near-infrared optical absorption (800 nm), fluorescence emission (900-1000 nm), high-performance photothermal conversion and good cytocompatibility, implied chiral β-HgS QDs could be used as a candidate material for photothermal therapy or a near-infrared fluorescent probe in organism, which brings a novel insight for bio-application of β-HgS QDs.

Abstract
Empty spaces are abhorred by nature, which immediately rushes in to fill the void. Humans have learnt pretty well how to make ordered empty nanocontainers, and to get useful products out of them. When such an order is imparted to molecules, new properties may appear, often yielding advanced applications. This review illustrates how the organized void space inherently present in various materials: zeolites, clathrates, mesoporous silica/organosilica, and metal organic frameworks (MOF), for example, can be exploited to create confined, organized, and self-assembled supramolecular structures of low dimensionality. Features of the confining matrices relevant to organization are presented with special focus on molecular-level aspects. Selected examples of confined supramolecular assemblies - from small molecules to quantum dots or luminescent species - are aimed to show the complexity and potential of this approach. Natural confinement (minerals) and hyperconfinement (high pressure) provide further opportunities to understand and master the atomistic-level interactions governing supramolecular organization under nanospace restrictions.

Abstract
Chiral properties of nanoscale materials are of importance as they dominate interactions with proteins in physiological environments; however, they have rarely been investigated. In this study, a systematic investigation is conducted for the adsorption behaviors of bovine serum albumin (BSA) onto the chiral surfaces of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), involving multiple techniques and molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. The adsorption of BSA onto both L- and D-chiral surfaces of AuNPs shows discernible differences involving thermodynamics, adsorption orientation, exposed charges, and affinity. As a powerful supplement, MD simulation provides a molecular-level understanding of protein adsorption onto nanochiral surfaces. Salt bridge interaction is proposed as a major driving force at protein-nanochiral interface interaction. The spatial distribution features of functional groups (COO- , NH3+ , and CH3 ) of chiral molecules on the nanosurface play a key role in the formation and location of salt bridges, which determine the BSA adsorption orientation and binding strength to chiral surfaces. Sequentially, BSA corona coated on nanochiral surfaces affects their uptake by cells. The results enhance the understanding of protein corona, which are important for biological effects of nanochirality in living organisms.

Abstract
Designing chiral materials to manipulate the biological activities of cells has been an important area not only in chemistry and material science, but also in cell biology and biomedicine. Here, we introduce monolayer plasmonic chiral Au nanoparticle (NP) films modified with L- or D-penicillamine (Pen) to be developed for cell growth, differentiation, and retrieval. The monolayer films display high chiroptical activity, with circular dichroism values of 3.5 mdeg at 550 nm and 26.8 mdeg at 775 nm. The L-Pen-NP films accelerate cell proliferation, whereas the D -Pen-NP films have the opposite effect. Remote irradiation with light is chosen to noninvasively collect the cells. The results demonstrate that left circularly polarized light improves the efficiency of cell detachment up to 91.2% for L-Pen-NP films. These findings will facilitate the development of cell culture in biomedical application and help to understand natural homochirality.

Abstract
Persistent accumulation of immune cells mediated by α4β1 integrin (VLA-4) is a hallmark of the inflammatory diseases and of chronic inflammation observed in the affected tissues of autoimmune diseases. Aiming at exploring new methods for monitoring the course of the inflammatory processes, we designed the first peptide-functionalized nanostructured devices capable to mimic the high-density multivalency binding between the α4β1 integrin-expressing cells and the ligands overexpressed on the endothelial surfaces, in the proximity of the sites of inflammation. Specifically, we describe the first examples of monolayers constituted by dye-loaded zeolite L crystals, coated with α4β1 integrin peptide ligands, and we analyze the adhesion of model Jurkat cells in comparison to non-α4β1 integrin-expressing cells. In particular, the peptidomimetic diphenylurea-Leu-Asp-Val-diamine allows significant and selective detection of α4β1 integrin-expressing Jurkat cells, after very rapid incubation time, supporting the possible implementation in a diagnostic device capable to detect the desired cells from biological fluids, obtainable from patients in a noninvasive way.

Abstract
Recently, there has been much interest in the chirality-dependent cell affinity to enantiomorphous nanomaterials (NMs), since, at the nanoscale level, enantiomers of (bio)molecules have different effects on cell behaviors. In this respect, this study used enantiomorphous NMs with which to generate the Janus nanocomposite (NC) hydrogels as multifunctional biomaterials for studying chirality-dependent cell adhesion and cell migration. These Janus NC hydrogels possess two enantiomorphous NC hydrogels, in which the different halves of the hydrogel contain the opposite enantiomers of a biopolymer functionalized nanomaterials. Thus, the enantiomers contact each other only at the midline of the hydrogel but are otherwise separated, yet they are present in the same system. This advanced system allows us to simultaneously study the impact that each enantiomer of a biopolymer has on cell behavior under the same reaction conditions, at the same time, and using only a single biomaterial. Our results show that cells have higher affinity for and migrate toward the part of the Janus NC hydrogel containing the biopolymer enantiomer that the cells prefer.

Abstract
Nanoparticle density gradients on surfaces have attracted interest as two-dimensional material surfaces that can mimic the complex nano-/microstructure of the native extracellular matrix, including its chemical and physical gradients, and can therefore be used to systematically study cell-material interactions. In this respect, we report the preparation of density gradients made of bifunctional zeolite L crystals on glass surfaces and the effects of the density gradient and biopolymer functionalization of zeolite L crystals on cell adhesion. We also describe how we created "Janus" density gradient surfaces by gradually depositing two different types of zeolite L crystals that were functionalized and loaded with different chemical groups and guest molecules onto the two distinct sides of the same glass substrate. Our results show that more cells adhered on the density gradient of biopolymer-coated zeolites than on uncoated ones. The number of adhered cells increased up to a certain surface coverage of the glass by the zeolite L crystals, but then it decreased beyond the zeolite density at which a higher surface coverage decreased fibroblast cell adhesion and spreading. Additionally, cell experiments showed that cells gradually internalized the guest-molecule-loaded zeolite L crystals from the underlying density gradient containing bifunctional zeolite L crystals.

Abstract
Understanding the targeted cellular uptake of nanomaterials is an essential step to engineer and program functional and effective biomedical devices. In this respect, the targeting and ultrafast uptake of zeolite nanocrystals functionalized with Cetuximab antibodies (Ctxb) by cells overexpressing the epidermal growth factor receptor are described here. Biochemical assays show that the cellular uptake of the bioconjugate in the targeted cancer cells already begins 15 min after incubation, at a rate around tenfold faster than that observed in the negative control cells. These findings further show the role of Ctxb exposed at the surfaces of the zeolite nanocrystals in mediating the targeted and rapid cellular uptake. By using temperature and pharmacological inhibitors as modulators of the internalization pathways, the results univocally suggest a dissipative uptake mechanism of these nanomaterials, which seems to occur using different internalization pathways, according to the targeting properties of these nanocrystals. Owing to the ultrafast uptake process, harmless for the cell viability, these results further pave the way for the design of novel theranostic tools based on nanozeolites.

Abstract
2,3-Diaminopropionic acid (DapA), a medicinal amino acid, is used for the first time to prepare a DapA cross-linked graphene sponge (DCGS) for hemostasis treatment. In a comparison with the reported ethanediamine (EDA) cross-linked graphene sponge (CGS), this carboxyl-functionalized DCGS can not only quickly absorb plasma, but also stimulate erythrocytes and platelets to change their normal form and structure at the interface, which largely affects a cell's metabolism and biofunction, thus further promoting blood coagulation. Whole blood clotting and rat-tail amputation tests indicated that on the basis of the additional interfacial stimulation, the hemostatic efficiency of the DCGS has been significantly improved in comparison with that of the CGS control (P < 0.05). In-depth insight revealed that the increased oxidation degree and the negative charge density play the crucial rule in the enhanced hemostatic performance. The chiral effect contributes mainly to the selective adhesion of erythrocytes and platelets rather than practical hemostasis. Nevertheless, this presentation demonstrated that, on the premise of keeping the fast absorbability, this is an effective method to improve the hemostatic efficiency by enhancing the cell/graphene interface interaction.

Abstract
For the first time the influence of the chirality of the gel fibers in protein crystallogenesis has been studied. Enantiomeric hydrogels 1 and 2 were tested with model proteins lysozyme and glucose isomerase and a formamidase extracted from B. cereus. Crystallization behaviour and crystal quality of these proteins in both hydrogels are presented and compared.

Abstract
During its adhesion on external surfaces, a cell exhibits obvious inclination to different molecular chirality, which encourages us to develop a new type of antibacterial material catering to the "chiral taste" of bacteria. On the basis of the natural product borneol (a camphane-type bicyclic monoterpene), a series of borneol-based polymer, polyborneolacrylate (PBA), was successfully prepared and showed superior antibacterial adhesion properties resulting from the borneol isomers on material surface. The results of this study reveal that bacteria simply dislike this type of stubborn surface of PBA, and the PBA surface stereochemistry contributes to the interfacial antibacterial activities. The PBA polymers were evaluated as noncytotoxic and can be simply synthesized, demonstrating their great potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Chiral nanostructure, such as the double helix of DNA and α-helix of protein, plays an important role in biochemistry and material sciences. In the organism system, the biological entities always exhibit homochirality and show preference toward one specific enantiomer. How the opposite enantiomers will affect the chirality of the supramolecular nanostructures and their interactions with the biological molecules remains an important issue. In this study, two gelators bearing amphiphilic l-glutamide and d- or l-pantolactone (abbreviated as DPLG and LPLG) were designed, and their self-assembly behavior and interactions with proteins were investigated. It was found that both of the gelators could form gels in the mixed solvent of ethanol and water, and the corresponding gels were characterized with UV-vis spectroscopy, circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and atomic force microscopy. Although both gels formed nanofiber structures and showed many similar properties, their supramolecular chiralities were opposite, which was determined by the chirality of the terminal group. The chirality of the nanofibrous structure is found to influence the protein adhesion significantly. Quartz crystal microbalance technique was used to investigate the adsorption of human serum albumin on the nanofibrous structures. It was revealed that supramolecular nanostructure of DPLG exhibited stronger adhesive ability than that of LPLG, while there is no clear difference at a molecular level. This suggested that slightly different interactions between d and l substances with the biological molecules could be amplified when they formed chiral nanostructures. Molecular dynamic simulations were performed to verify the interaction between the two gelators and protein molecules. A possible model was proposed to explain the interaction between the nanofibers and the proteins.

Abstract
Studying the interaction between neuronal cells and chiral molecules is fundamental for the design of novel biomaterials and drugs. Chirality influences all biological processes that involve intermolecular interaction. One common method used to study cellular interactions with different enantiomeric targets is the use of chiral surfaces. Based on previous studies that demonstrated the importance of cysteine in the nervous system, we studied the effect of L- and D-cysteine on single neuronal growth. L-Cysteine, which normally functions as a neuromodulator or a neuroprotective antioxidant, causes damage at elevated levels, which may occur post trauma. In this study, we grew adult neurons in culture enriched with L- and D-cysteine as free compounds or as self-assembled monolayers of chiral surfaces and examined the effect on the neuronal morphology and adhesion. Notably, we have found that exposure to the L-cysteine enantiomer inhibited, and even prevented, neuronal attachment more severely than exposure to the D-cysteine enantiomer. Atop the L-cysteine surfaces, neuronal growth was reduced and degenerated. Since the cysteine molecules were attached to the surface via the thiol groups, the neuronal membrane was exposed to the molecular chiral site. Thus, our results have demonstrated high neuronal chiral sensitivity, revealing chiral surfaces as indirect regulators of neuronal cells and providing a reference for studying chiral drugs.

Abstract
Alginate hydrogels functionalized with D-, or L-penicillamine (D-, L-PEN-Alg) are used as new 3D scaffolds for cell adhesion studies. The cells recognize and show different adhesion properties in the respective 3D hydrogel scaffolds. C-6-glioma and endothelial cells show higher affinity to the D-PEN than to the L-PEN functionalized 3D alginate hydrogel scaffold. The cultivated cells are harvested from the hydrogel and are reused, for example, for cell growth experiments on 2D surfaces to prove their viability as well.

Abstract
Chirality is one of the most fascinating and ubiquitous cues in nature, especially in life. The effects of chiral surfaces on stem cells have, however, not yet been revealed. Herein we examined the molecular chirality effect on stem cell behaviors. Self assembly monolayers of L- or D-cysteine (Cys) were formed on a glass surface coated with gold. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from bone marrow of rats exhibited more adhering preference and thus less cell spreading on the L surface than on the d one at the confluent condition. More protein adsorption was observed on the L surface after immersed in cell culture medium with fetal bovine serum. After osteogenic and adipogenic co-induction at the confluent condition, a larger proportion of cells became osteoblasts on the d surface, while the adipogenic fraction on the L surface was found to be higher than on the D surface. In order to interpret how this chirality effect worked, we fabricated Cys microislands of two sizes on the non-fouling poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogel to pre-define the spreading areas of single cells. Then the differentiation extents did not exhibit a significant difference between L and D surfaces under a given area of microislands, yet very significant differences of osteogenesis and adipogenesis were found between different areas. So, the molecular chirality influenced stem cells, probably via favored adsorption of natural proteins on the L surface, which led to more cell adhesion; and the larger cell spreading area with higher cell tension in turn favored osteogenesis rather than adipogenesis. As a result, this study reveals the molecular chirality on material surfaces as an indirect regulator of stem cells.

Abstract
Interfaces are a most important environment in natural and synthetic chemistries for a wide variety of processes, such as catalysis, recognition, separation, and so on. Naturally occurring systems have evolved to one handedness and the study of interfaces where biomolecules are located is a potentially revealing pursuit with regard to understanding the reasons and importance of stereochemistry in these environments. Equally, the spontaneous resolution of achiral and chiral compounds at interfaces could lead to explanations regarding the emergence of single handedness in proteins and sugars. Also, the attachment of biomolecules to surfaces leads to systems capable of stereoselective processes which may be useful for the applications mentioned above. The review covers systems ranging from small biomolecules studied under ultrapure conditions in vacuum to protein adsorption to surfaces in solution, and the techniques that can be used to study them.
