Abstract
Blood-contacting medical devices routinely fail from the cascading effects of biofouling toward infection and thrombosis. Nitric oxide (NO) is an integral part of endothelial homeostasis, maintaining platelet quiescence and facilitating oxidative/nitrosative stress against pathogens. Recently, it is shown that the surface evolution of NO can mediate cell-surface interactions. However, this technique alone cannot prevent the biofouling inherent in device failure with dynamic blood-contacting applications. This work proposes an endothelium-mimicking surface design pairing controlled NO release with an inherently antifouling polyethylene glycol interface (NO+PEG). This simple, robust, and scalable platform develops surface-localized NO availability with surface hydration, leading to a significant reduction in protein adsorption as well as bacteria/platelet adhesion. Further in vivo thrombogenicity studies show a decrease in thrombus formation on NO+PEG interfaces, with preservation of circulating platelet and white blood cell counts, maintenance of activated clotting time, and reduced coagulation cascade activation. It is anticipated that this bio-inspired surface design will enable a facile alternative to existing surface technologies to address clinical manifestations of infection and thrombosis in dynamic blood-contacting environments.

Abstract
Organic thin films are of great interest due to their intriguing interfacial and functional properties, especially for device applications such as thin-film transistors and sensors. As their thickness approaches single nanometer thickness, characterization and interpretation of the extracted data become increasingly complex. In this study, plasma polymerization is used to construct ultrathin films that range in thickness from 1 to 20 nm, and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry coupled with principal component analysis is used to investigate the effects of film thickness on the resulting spectra. We demonstrate that for these cross-linked plasma polymers, at these thicknesses, the observed trends are different from those obtained from thicker films with lower degrees of cross-linking: contributions from ambient carbon contamination start to dominate the mass spectrum; cluster-induced nonlinear enhancement in secondary ion yield is no longer observed; extent of fragmentation is higher due to confinement of the primary ion energy; and the size of the primary ion source also affects fragmentation (e.g., Bi1 versus Bi5). These differences illustrate that care must be taken in choosing the correct primary ion source as well as in interpreting the data.

Abstract
The fabrication of complex, reproducible, and accurate micro-and nanostructured interfaces that impede the interaction between material's surface and different cell types represents an important objective in the development of medical devices. This can be achieved by topographical means such as dual-scale structures, mainly represented by microstructures with surface nanopatterning. Fabrication via laser irradiation of materials seems promising. However, laser-assisted fabrication of dual-scale structures, i.e., ripples relies on stochastic processes deriving from laser-matter interaction, limiting the control over the structures' topography. In this paper, we report on laser fabrication of cell-repellent dual-scale 3D structures with fully reproducible and high spatial accuracy topographies. Structures were designed as micrometric "mushrooms" decorated with fingerprint-like nanometric features with heights and periodicities close to those of the calamistrum, i.e., 200-300 nm. They were fabricated by Laser Direct Writing via Two-Photon Polymerization of IP-Dip photoresist. Design and laser writing parameters were optimized for conferring cell-repellent properties to the structures, even for high cellular densities in the culture medium. The structures were most efficient in repelling the cells when the fingerprint-like features had periodicities and heights of ≅200 nm, fairly close to the repellent surfaces of the calamistrum. Laser power was the most important parameter for the optimization protocol.

Abstract
Hemocompatibility of biomaterials in contact with the blood of patients is a prerequisite for the short- and long-term applications of medical devices such as cardiovascular stents, artificial heart valves, ventricular assist devices, catheters, blood linings and extracorporeal devices such as artificial kidneys (hemodialysis), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and cardiopulmonary bypass. Although lower blood compatibility of materials and devices can be handled with systemic anticoagulation, its side effects, such as an increased bleeding risk, make materials that have a better hemocompatibility highly desirable, particularly in long-term applications. This review provides a short overview on the basic mechanisms of blood coagulation including plasmatic coagulation and blood platelets, as well as the activation of the complement system. Furthermore, a survey on concepts for tailoring the blood response of biomaterials to improve the hemocompatibility of medical devices is given which covers different approaches that either inhibit interaction of material surfaces with blood components completely or control the response of the coagulation system, blood platelets and leukocytes.

Development of plasma functionalized polypropylene wound dressing for betaine hydrochloride controlled drug delivery on diabetic wounds. Sci Rep 2021; 11:9641.

Abstract
Diabetes Mellitus is one of the most worrying issues among illnesses, and its chronic subsequences almost refer to inflammations and infections. The loading and local release of antioxidants to wounds may decrease inflammations. However, the low wettability of PolyPropylene (PP) restricts the drug from loading. So, to increase the adhesion of PP for loading an optimum amount of Betaine Hydrochloride (BET), plasma has been applied in two steps of functionalization and polymerization, which has been confirmed with FE-SEM, ATR-FTIR, and EDX. The new chemistry of the surface led to almost 80% of BET loaded. The drug-releasing ratio studied by HPLC approved the presence of a PEG-like layer, which was coated by polymerization of tetraglyme. To evaluate the wound healing potential of the application of PP meshes treated by plasma, 72 Wistar rats were subdivided into four groups. The skin injury site was removed and underwent biomechanical tests, stereological analysis, and RNA extraction. The results showed a significant improvement in the polymerized scaffold containing BET for skin injury. The present study suggests that the use of a modified PP mesh can induce tissue regeneration and accelerate wound healing at the skin injury site.

Abstract
Current parenteral containers used for the storage and delivery of protein-based drugs, contain silicone oil which may seep into the protein solution and can result in adsorption, aggregation and denaturation of the protein. Tightly adherent surface coatings prepared by radio frequency glow-discharge (RFGD) plasma polymerization are described in this paper. Using this robust technique, methacrylic acid (MA) (hydrophilic), hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) (hydrophobic), tetraglyme (TG) (hydrophilic) were plasma polymerized onto glass. In addition, HMDSO and MA were copolymerized to create a plasma polymerized HMDSO-MA (hydrophobic) surface. Untreated glass and glass dip-coated in PDMS were used as controls. TG and MA plasma coatings adsorbed the least amount of protein in all pH conditions. Interestingly HMDSO-MA retained significantly lesser protein compared to HMDSO and dip-coated PDMS samples. In the presence of Polysorbate 80 (PS80) all plasma polymerized coatings adsorbed and retained negligible amounts of protein, compared to controls. Furthermore, the peak glide force of plasma coated syringes did not significantly increase compared to syringes without plasma coating. Due to the versatility of RFGD plasma, this process is scalable and could potentially be used for the treatment of hypodermic syringes used for the storage and delivery of protein-based therapeutics.

Abstract
The development of low fouling membranes to minimize protein adsorption has relevance in various biomedical applications. Here, electrically neutral peptoids containing 2-methoxyethyl glycine (NMEG) side chains were attached to polysulfone hollow fiber membranes via polydopamine. The number of side chains and grafting density were varied to determine the effect on coating properties and the ability to prevent fouling. NMEG peptoid coatings have high hydrophilicity compared to unmodified polysulfone membranes. The extent of biofouling was evaluated using bovine serum albumin, as well as platelet adhesion. The results suggest that both the number of side chains and grafting density play a role in the surface properties that drive biofouling. Protein adsorption decreased with increasing peptoid grafting density and is lowest above a critical grafting density specific to peptoid chain length. Our findings show that the optimization of grafting density and hydration of the surface are important factors for achieving the desired antifouling performance.

Abstract
The adsorption of proteins is the initiating event in the processes occurring when blood contacts a "foreign" surface in a medical device, leading inevitably to thrombus formation. Knowledge of protein adsorption in this context has accumulated over many years but remains fragmentary and incomplete. Moreover, the significance and relevance of the information for blood compatibility are not entirely agreed upon in the biomaterials research community. In this review, protein adsorption from blood is discussed under the headings "agreed upon" and "not agreed upon or not known" with respect to: protein layer composition, effects on coagulation and complement activation, effects on platelet adhesion and activation, protein conformational change and denaturation, prevention of nonspecific protein adsorption, and controlling/tailoring the protein layer composition. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This paper is part 2 of a series of 4 reviews discussing the problem of biomaterial associated thrombogenicity. The objective was to highlight features of broad agreement and provide commentary on those aspects of the problem that were subject to dispute. We hope that future investigators will update these reviews as new scholarship resolves the uncertainties of today.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of the surface properties and the coating layer properties on surface modification via electrostatic adsorption, the electrostatic adsorption behavior of zwitterionic copolymers on negatively charged surfaces was studied. A series of positively charged zwitterionic copolymers and a series of negatively charged surfaces, including porous substrates and dense films, were fabricated. The electrostatic adsorption behavior of the zwitterionic copolymers on the negatively charged porous substrates was confirmed using the contact angles and fluorescently labeled protein adsorption experiments. The adsorption behavior of the zwitterionic copolymers on the negatively charged dense films was confirmed using quartz crystal microbalance determination and a fluorescently labeled protein adsorption experiment. The results indicated that a lower charge density on the zwitterionic copolymer brings about a higher adsorption mass on the charged surface, whereas an extremely low charge density on the coating layer results in a lower adsorption mass on the charged surface, due to weak interaction. A high density of the film surface charge is beneficial for surface adsorption, whereas an extremely high density of the film surface charge leads to low surface adsorption due to steric hindrance of the negatively charged sites. This work provides an insight into the best strategy for surface modification via electrostatic adsorption.

Abstract
Bioelectrodes are key components of electronic devices that efficiently mediate electrical signals in biological systems. However, conventional bioelectrodes often undergo biofouling associated with non-specific proteins and cell adhesion on the electrode surfaces, which leads to seriously degraded electrical and/or electrochemical properties. Hence, a facile and effective method to modify the surface of bioelectrodes is required to introduce anti-biofouling properties and improve performance. Here, we report an electrochemical surface modification of a bioelectrode via co-deposition of hyaluronic acid (HA) and polydopamine (PDA). The electrochemical polymerization and deposition of PDA offered simple and effective incorporation of highly hydrophilic and anti-fouling HA to the electrode surfaces, with no substantial increase in impedance. HA-incorporated PDA (PDA/HA)-modified electrodes displayed significant resistance to non-specific protein adsorption and the adhesion of fibroblasts. In addition, 4-week subcutaneous implantation studies revealed that the modified electrodes attenuated scar tissue formation compared with that induced by unmodified bare electrodes. This simple and effective electrochemical surface modification could be further employed for various implantable bioelectrodes (e.g., prosthetics and biosensors) and could extend their bioelectronic applications.

Abstract
![]()
Biosensors and materials
for biomedical applications generally
require chemical functionalization to bestow their surfaces with desired
properties, such as specific molecular recognition and antifouling
properties. The use of modified poly(l-lysine) (PLL) polymers
with appended oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) and thiol-reactive maleimide
(Mal) moieties (PLL-OEG-Mal) offers control over the presentation
of functional groups. These reactive groups can readily be conjugated
to, for example, probes for DNA detection. Here we demonstrate the
reliable conjugation of thiol-functionalized peptide nucleic acid
(PNA) probes onto predeposited layers of PLL-OEG-Mal and the control
over their surface density in the preceding synthetic step of the
PLL modification with Mal groups. By monitoring the quartz crystal
microbalance (QCM) frequency shifts of the binding of complementary
DNA versus the density of Mal moieties grafted to the PLL, a linear
relationship between probe density and PLL grafting density was found.
Cyclic voltammetry experiments using Methylene Blue-functionalized
DNA were performed to establish the absolute probe density values
at the biosensor surfaces. These data provided a density of 1.2 ×
1012 probes per cm2 per % of grafted Mal, thus
confirming the validity of the density control in the synthetic PLL
modification step without the need of further surface characterization.

Differential orientation and conformation of surface-bound keratinocyte growth factor on (hydroxyethyl)methacrylate, (hydroxyethyl)methacrylate/methyl methacrylate, and (hydroxyethyl)methacrylate/methacrylic acid hydrogel copolymers. Biointerphases 2018; 13:06E406.

Abstract
The development of hydrogels for protein delivery requires protein-hydrogel interactions that cause minimal disruption of the protein's biological activity. Biological activity can be influenced by factors such as orientational accessibility for receptor binding and conformational changes, and these factors can be influenced by the hydrogel surface chemistry. (Hydroxyethyl)methacrylate (HEMA) hydrogels are of interest as drug delivery vehicles for keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) which is known to promote re-epithelialization in wound healing. The authors report here the surface characterization of three different HEMA hydrogel copolymers and their effects on the orientation and conformation of surface-bound KGF. In this work, they characterize two copolymers in addition to HEMA alone and report how protein orientation and conformation is affected. The first copolymer incorporates methyl methacrylate (MMA), which is known to promote the adsorption of protein to its surface due to its hydrophobicity. The second copolymer incorporates methacrylic acid (MAA), which is known to promote the diffusion of protein into its surface due to its hydrophilicity. They find that KGF at the surface of the HEMA/MMA copolymer appears to be more orientationally accessible and conformationally active than KGF at the surface of the HEMA/MAA copolymer. They also report that KGF at the surface of the HEMA/MAA copolymer becomes conformationally unfolded, likely due to hydrogen bonding. KGF at the surface of these copolymers can be differentiated by Fourier-transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance spectroscopy and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry in conjunction with principal component analysis. The differences in KGF orientation and conformation between these copolymers may result in different biological responses in future cell-based experiments.

Abstract
Porous shape memory alloys (SMAs), including NiTi and Ni-free Ti-based alloys, are unusual materials for hard-tissue replacements because of their unique superelasticity (SE), good biocompatibility, and low elastic modulus. However, the Ni ion releasing for porous NiTi SMAs in physiological conditions and relatively low SE for porous Ni-free SMAs have delayed their clinic applications as implantable materials. The present article reviews recent research progresses on porous NiTi and Ni-free SMAs for hard-tissue replacements, focusing on two specific topics: (i) synthesis of porous SMAs with optimal porous structure, microstructure, mechanical, and biological properties; and, (ii) surface modifications that are designed to create bio-inert or bio-active surfaces with low Ni releasing and high biocompatibility for porous NiTi SMAs. With the advances of preparation technique, the porous SMAs can be tailored to satisfied porous structure with porosity ranging from 30% to 85% and different pore sizes. In addition, they can exhibit an elastic modulus of 0.4⁻15 GPa and SE of more than 2.5%, as well as good cell and tissue biocompatibility. As a result, porous SMAs had already been used in maxillofacial repairing, teeth root replacement, and cervical and lumbar vertebral implantation. Based on current research progresses, possible future directions are discussed for "property-pore structure" relationship and surface modification investigations, which could lead to optimized porous biomedical SMAs. We believe that porous SMAs with optimal porous structure and a bioactive surface layer are the most competitive candidate for short-term and long-term hard-tissue replacement materials.

Abstract
Fibrinogen (Fg) adsorption is an important mechanism underlying cell adhesion to biomaterials and was the major focus of the author's research career. This article summarizes our work on Fg adsorption, with citations of related work as appropriate. The molecular properties of Fg that promote adsorption and cell adhesion will be described. In addition, the adsorption behavior of Fg from buffer, binary solutions with other proteins, and blood plasma will be discussed, including the Vroman effect. Studies of platelet adhesion to surfaces preadsorbed with blood plasmas selectively deficient in Fg, vitronectin (Vn), fibronectin (Fn), or von Willebrand's factor (vWf) will be reviewed. These studies clearly showed a major role for Fg in platelet adhesion under static conditions and both Fg and vWf for adhesion from flowing suspensions, but no significant role for Vn or Fn. However, it was also shown that platelet adhesion was poorly correlated with the total amount of adsorbed Fg, but very well correlated with the binding of antibodies specific to the cell binding domains of Fg. A brief overview of nonfouling surfaces for prevention of Fg adsorption will be given. A more extensive discussion of structural changes in Fg after its adsorption is included, including changes detected with both physicochemical and biological methods. A short discussion of the state of the art of structural determination of adsorbed proteins with computational methods is also given. A final section identifies Fg adsorption as the single most important event determining the biocompatibility of implants in soft tissue and in blood. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Monitoring blood coagulation is an important issue in the surgeries and the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In this work, we reported a novel strategy for the blood coagulation monitoring based on a micro-electromechanical film bulk acoustic resonator. The resonator was excited by a lateral electric field and operated under the shear mode with a frequency of 1.9GHz. According to the apparent step-ladder curves of the frequency response to the change of blood viscoelasticity, the coagulation time (prothrombin time) and the coagulation kinetics were measured with the sample consumption of only 1μl. The procoagulant activity of thromboplastin and the anticoagulant effect of heparin on the blood coagulation process were illustrated exemplarily. The measured prothrombin times showed a good linear correlation with R2=0.99969 and a consistency with the coefficient of variation less than 5% compared with the commercial coagulometer. The proposed film bulk acoustic sensor, which has the advantages of small size, light weight, low cost, simple operation and little sample consumption, is a promising device for miniaturized, online and automated analytical system for routine diagnostics of hemostatic status and personal health monitoring.

Abstract
The clotting protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) binds to platelet receptor glycoprotein Ibα (GPIbα) when VWF is activated by chemicals, high shear stress, or immobilization onto surfaces. Activation of VWF by surface immobilization is an important problem in the failure of cardiovascular implants, but is poorly understood. Here, the authors investigate whether some or all surfaces can activate VWF at least in part by affecting the orientation or conformation of the immobilized GPIbα-binding A1 domain of VWF. Platelets binding to A1 adsorbed onto polystyrene surfaces translocated rapidly at moderate and high flow, but detached at low flow, while platelets binding to A1 adsorbed onto glass or tissue-culture treated polystyrene surfaces translocated slowly, and detached only at high flow. Both x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and conformation independent antibodies reported comparable A1 amounts on all surfaces. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectra suggested differences in orientation on the three surfaces, but none that could explain the biological data. Instead, ToF-SIMS data and binding of conformation-dependent antibodies were consistent with the stabilization of an alternative more activated conformation of A1 by tissue culture polystyrene and especially glass. These studies demonstrate that different material surfaces differentially affect the conformation of adsorbed A1 domain and its biological activity. This is important when interpreting or designing in vitro experiments with surface-adsorbed A1 domain, and is also of likely relevance for blood-contacting biomaterials.

Abstract
Biomaterials with the ability to interface with, but not activate, blood components are essential for a multitude of medical devices. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) and titania (TiO2) have shown promise for these applications; however, both support platelet adhesion and activation. This study explored the fabrication of nanostructured DLC and TiO2 thin film coatings using a block copolymer deposition technique that produced semiordered nanopatterns with low surface roughness (5-8 nm Rrms). These surfaces supported fibrinogen and plasma protein adsorption that predominantly adsorbed between the nanofeatures and reduced the overall surface roughness. The conformation of the adsorbed fibrinogen was altered on the nanopatterned surfaces as compared with the planar surfaces to reveal higher levels of the platelet binding region. Planar DLC and TiO2 coatings supported less platelet adhesion than nanopatterned DLC and TiO2. However, platelets on the nanopatterned DLC coatings were less spread indicating a lower level of platelet activation on the nanostructured DLC coatings compared with the planar DLC coatings. These data indicated that nanostructured DLC coatings may find application in blood contacting medical devices in the future.

Abstract
On the basis of the clinical studies in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) presenting an increased percentage of activated platelets, we hypothesized that hemocompatibility testing utilizing platelets from healthy individuals may result in an underestimation of the materials' thrombogenicity. Therefore, we investigated the interaction of polymer-based biomaterials with platelets from CAD patients in comparison to platelets from apparently healthy individuals. In vitro static thrombogenicity tests revealed that adherent platelet densities and total platelet covered areas were significantly increased for the low (polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS) and medium (Collagen) thrombogenic surfaces in the CAD group compared to the healthy subjects group. The area per single platelet-indicating the spreading and activation of the platelets-was markedly increased on PDMS treated with PRP from CAD subjects. This could not be observed for collagen or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). For the latter material, platelet adhesion and surface coverage did not differ between the two groups. Irrespective of the substrate, the variability of these parameters was increased for CAD patients compared to healthy subjects. This indicates a higher reactivity of platelets from CAD patients compared to the healthy individuals. Our results revealed, for the first time, that utilizing platelets from apparently healthy donors bears the risk of underestimating the thrombogenicity of polymer-based biomaterials.

Abstract
![]()
Implantable biosensors are valuable
scientific tools for basic
neuroscience research and clinical applications. Neurotechnologies
provide direct readouts of neurological signal and neurochemical processes.
These tools are generally most valuable when performance capacities
extend over months and years to facilitate the study of memory, plasticity,
and behavior or to monitor patients’ conditions. These needs
have generated a variety of device designs from microelectrodes for
fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) and electrophysiology to microdialysis
probes for sampling and detecting various neurochemicals. Regardless
of the technology used, the breaching of the blood–brain barrier
(BBB) to insert devices triggers a cascade of biochemical pathways
resulting in complex molecular and cellular responses to implanted
devices. Molecular and cellular changes in the microenvironment surrounding
an implant include the introduction of mechanical strain, activation
of glial cells, loss of perfusion, secondary metabolic injury, and
neuronal degeneration. Changes to the tissue microenvironment surrounding
the device can dramatically impact electrochemical and electrophysiological
signal sensitivity and stability over time. This review summarizes
the magnitude, variability, and time course of the dynamic molecular
and cellular level neural tissue responses induced by state-of-the-art
implantable devices. Studies show that insertion injuries and foreign
body response can impact signal quality across all implanted central
nervous system (CNS) sensors to varying degrees over both acute (seconds
to minutes) and chronic periods (weeks to months). Understanding the
underlying biological processes behind the brain tissue response to
the devices at the cellular and molecular level leads to a variety
of intervention strategies for improving signal sensitivity and longevity.

Abstract
Chronic implantation of microelectrodes into the cortex has been shown to lead to inflammatory gliosis and neuronal loss in the microenvironment immediately surrounding the probe, a hypothesized cause of neural recording failure. Caspase-1 (aka Interleukin 1β converting enzyme) is known to play a key role in both inflammation and programmed cell death, particularly in stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Caspase-1 knockout (KO) mice are resistant to apoptosis and these mice have preserved neurologic function by reducing ischemia-induced brain injury in stroke models. Local ischemic injury can occur following neural probe insertion and thus in this study we investigated the hypothesis that caspase-1 KO mice would have less ischemic injury surrounding the neural probe. In this study, caspase-1 KO mice were implanted with chronic single shank 3 mm Michigan probes into V1m cortex. Electrophysiology recording showed significantly improved single-unit recording performance (yield and signal to noise ratio) of caspase-1 KO mice compared to wild type C57B6 (WT) mice over the course of up to 6 months for the majority of the depth. The higher yield is supported by the improved neuronal survival in the caspase-1 KO mice. Impedance fluctuates over time but appears to be steadier in the caspase-1 KO especially at longer time points, suggesting milder glia scarring. These findings show that caspase-1 is a promising target for pharmacologic interventions.

Abstract
In this report, the properties of fluorocarbon-containing (tridecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrooctyl)triethoxysilane (TTS) (C14 H19 F13 O3 Si) nanofilm coated on silicon surface and its potential to resist protein adsorption were examined. Thickness and wettability of the silicon surface before and after TTS nanofilm coating were examined by ellipsometry and contact angle goniometry, respectively. The same techniques were used to examine protein layer on nonmodified and TTS-coated silicon surface. In addition, bright-field optical microscopy and fluorescence spectrophotometry were used to provide visual, qualitative description of adsorbed proteins and the specific signal of fluorescence-labeled bovine serum albumin (BSA), respectively, on bare and TTS-coated silicon surface. Single-component protein solution of four model proteins, namely BSA, human fibrinogen, bovine serum immunoglobulin G, and fibronectin, was prepared, and the adsorption responses of these four proteins on TTS nanofilm were examined, using nonmodified silicon surface as comparison. TTS substantially reduces the adsorption of all four proteins tested. Our results indicate that fluorocarbon-containing TTS, once coated on surfaces, is an effective molecule for resisting protein adsorption. This will open up potential applications, particularly for silicon-containing implant devices such as glass.

Abstract
Blood protein adsorption and blood platelet adhesion onto surface-attached poly(alkylacrylamide) networks that exhibit small and systematic variations in chemical composition are investigated. The polymer coatings are generated by depositing a thin layer of benzophenone-group-containing copolymer onto a solid substrate, followed by photo crosslinking and simultaneous surface-attachment. The correlation of the swelling of the obtained surface-attached networks with the adsorption of blood proteins and cellular adhesion is studied. The swollen surface-attached layers are inert to blood proteins and platelet cells. These results suggest that the hydrogel-coated materials are promising candidates for the generation of hemocompatible surfaces.

Abstract
A newly fabricated plasma-polymerized poly(ethylene glycol) (PP-PEG) film shows extremely low toxicity, low fouling, good durability, and chemical similarity to typical PEG polymers, enabling live cell patterning as well as various bioapplications using bioincompatible materials. The PP-PEG film can be overlaid on any materials via the capacitively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (CCP-CVD) method using nontoxic PEG200 as a precursor. The biocompatibility of the PP-PEG-coated surface is confirmed by whole blood flow experiments where no thrombi and less serum protein adsorption are observed when compared with bare glass, polyethylene (PE), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) surfaces. Furthermore, unlike bare PE films, less fibrosis and inflammation are observed when the PP-PEG-coated PE film is implanted into subcutaneous pockets of mice groin areas. The cell-repellent property of PP-PEG is also verified via patterning of mammalian cells, such as fibroblasts and hippocampal neurons. These results show that our PP-PEG film, generated by the CCP-CVD method, is a biocompatible material that can be considered for broad applications in biomedical and functional materials fields.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Penetrating cortical neural probe technologies allow investigators to record electrical signals in the brain. Implantation of probes results in acute tissue damage, and microglia density increases around implanted devices over weeks. However, the mechanisms underlying this encapsulation are not well understood in the acute temporal domain. The objective here was to evaluate dynamic microglial response to implanted probes using two-photon microscopy. APPROACH Using two-photon in vivo microscopy, cortical microglia ∼200 µm below the surface of the visual cortex were imaged every minute in mice with green fluorescent protein-expressing microglia. MAIN RESULTS Following probe insertion, nearby microglia immediately extended processes toward the probe at (1.6 ± 1.3) µm min(-1) during the first 30-45 min, but showed negligible cell body movement for the first 6 h. Six hours following probe insertion, microglia at distances <130.0 µm (p = 0.5) from the probe surface exhibit morphological characteristics of transitional stage (T-stage) activation, similar to the microglial response observed with laser-induced blood-brain barrier damage. T-stage morphology and microglia directionality indexes were developed to characterize microglial response to implanted probes. Evidence suggesting vascular reorganization after probe insertion and distant vessel damage was also observed hours after probe insertion. SIGNIFICANCE A precise temporal understanding of the cellular response to microelectrode implantation will facilitate the search for molecular cues initiating and attenuating the reactive tissue response.

Abstract
Upon contact with bodily fluids/tissues, exogenous materials spontaneously develop a layer of proteins on their surface. In the case of biomedical implants and equipment, biological processes with deleterious effects may ensue. For biosensing platforms, it is synonymous with an overwhelming background signal that prevents the detection/quantification of target analytes present in considerably lower concentrations. To address this ubiquitous problem, tremendous efforts have been dedicated over the years to engineer protein-resistant coatings. There is now extensive literature available on stealth organic adlayers able to minimize fouling down to a few ng cm(-2), however from technologically irrelevant single-protein buffered solutions. Unfortunately, few coatings have been reported to present such level of performance when exposed to highly complex proteinaceous, real-world media such as blood serum and plasma, even diluted. Herein, we concisely review the surface chemistry developed to date to minimize fouling from these considerably more challenging blood-based fluids. Adsorption dynamics is also discussed.

Abstract
In this work, the hemocompatibility of PEGylated poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) microporous membranes with varying grafting coverage and structures via plasma-induced surface PEGylation was studied. Network-like and brush-like PEGylated layers on PVDF membrane surfaces were achieved by low-pressure and atmospheric plasma treatment. The chemical composition, physical morphology, grafting structure, surface hydrophilicity, and hydration capability of prepared membranes were determined to illustrate the correlations between grafting qualities and hemocompatibility of PEGylated PVDF membranes in contact with human blood. Plasma protein adsorption onto different PEGylated PVDF membranes from single-protein solutions and the complex medium of 100% human plasma were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with monoclonal antibodies. Hemocompatibility of the PEGylated membranes was evaluated by the antifouling property of platelet adhesion observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the anticoagulant activity of the blood coagulant determined by testing plasma-clotting time. The control of grafting structures of PEGylated layers highly regulates the PVDF membrane to resist the adsorption of plasma proteins, the adhesion of platelets, and the coagulation of human plasma. It was found that PVDF membranes grafted with brush-like PEGylated layers presented higher hydration capability with binding water molecules than with network-like PEGylated layers to improve the hemocompatible character of plasma protein and blood platelet resistance in human blood. This work suggests that the hemocompatible nature of grafted PEGylated polymers by controlling grafting structures gives them great potential in the molecular design of antithrombogenic membranes for use in human blood.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels hold great promise as in vivo cell carriers for tissue engineering. To ensure appropriate performance of these materials when implanted, the host response must be well understood. The objectives for this study were to characterize the temporal evolution of the foreign body reaction (FBR) to acellular PEG-based hydrogels prepared from PEG diacrylate precursors when implanted subcutaneously in immunocompentent c57bl/6 mice by (immuno)histochemical analysis and gene expression. Compared with a normal FBR elicited by silicone (SIL), PEG hydrogels without or with a cell adhesion ligand RGD elicited a strong early inflammatory response evidenced by a thick band of macrophages as early as day 2, persisting through two weeks, and by increased interleukin-1β expression. PEG-only hydrogels showed a slower, but more sustained progression of inflammation over PEG-RGD. Temporal changes in gene expression were observed in response to PEG-based materials and in general exhibited, elevated expression of inflammatory and wound healing genes in the tissues surrounding the implants, while the expression patterns were more stable in response to SIL. While a stabilized FBR was achieved with SIL and to a lesser degree with PEG-RGD, the PEG-only hydrogels had not yet stabilized after 4 weeks. In summary, PEG-only hydrogels elicit a strong early inflammatory reaction, which persists throughout the course of the implantation even as a collagenous capsule begins to form. However, the incorporation of RGD tethers partially attenuates this response within 2 weeks leading to an improved FBR to PEG-based hydrogels.
