Abstract
The adhesion of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) to the endothelial lumen and their extravasation to surrounding tissues are crucial in the seeding of metastases and remain the most complex events of the metastatic cascade to study. Integrins expressed on CTCs are major regulators of the extravasation process. This knowledge is primarily derived from animal models and biomimetic systems based on artificial endothelial layers, but these methods have ethical or technical limitations. We present a versatile microfluidic device to study cancer cell extravasation that mimics the endothelial barrier by using a porous membrane functionalized with DNA origami nanostructures (DONs) that display nanoscale patterns of adhesion peptides to circulating cancer cells. The device simulates physiological flow conditions and allows direct visualization of cell transmigration through microchannel pores using 3D confocal imaging. Using this system, we studied integrin-specific adhesion in the absence of other adhesive events. Specifically, we show that the transmigration ability of the metastatic cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 is influenced by the type, distance, and density of adhesion peptides present on the DONs. Furthermore, studies with mixed ligand systems indicate that integrins binding to RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) and IDS (isoleucine-aspartic acid-serine) did not synergistically enhance the extravasation process of MDA-MB-231 cells.

Abstract
Skin injury repair is a dynamic process involving a series of interactions over time and space. Linking human physiological processes with materials' changes poses a significant challenge. To match the wound healing process, a spatiotemporal controllable biomimetic skin is developed, which comprises a three-dimensional (3D) printed membrane as the epidermis, a cell-containing hydrogel as the dermis, and a cytokine-laden hydrogel as the hypodermis. In the initial stage of the biomimetic skin repair wound, the membrane frame aids wound closure through pre-tension, while cells proliferate within the hydrogel. Next, as the frame disintegrates over time, cells released from the hydrogel migrate along the residual membrane. Throughout the process, continuous cytokines release from the hypodermis hydrogel ensures comprehensive nourishment. The findings reveal that in the rat full-thickness skin defect model, the biomimetic skin demonstrated a wound closure rate eight times higher than the blank group, and double the collagen content, particularly in the early repair process. Consequently, it is reasonable to infer that this biomimetic skin holds promising potential to accelerate wound closure and repair. This biomimetic skin with mechanobiological effects and spatiotemporal regulation emerges as a promising option for tissue regeneration engineering.

Abstract
Blood-contacting medical devices often succumb to thrombosis, limiting their durability and safety in clinical applications. Thrombosis is fundamentally initiated by the nonspecific adsorption of proteins to the material surface, which is strongly governed by thermodynamic factors established by the nature of the interaction between the material surface, surrounding water molecules, and the protein itself. Along these lines, different surface materials (such as polymeric, metallic, ceramic, or composite) induce different entropic and enthalpic changes at the surface-protein interface, with material wettability significantly impacting this behavior. Consequently, protein adsorption on medical devices can be modulated by altering their wettability and surface energy. A plethora of polymeric coating modifications have been utilized for this purpose; hydrophobic modifications may promote or inhibit protein adsorption determined by van der Waals forces, while hydrophilic materials achieve this by mainly relying on hydrogen bonding, or unbalanced/balanced electrostatic interactions. This review offers a cohesive understanding of the thermodynamics governing these phenomena, to specifically aid in the design and selection of hemocompatible polymeric coatings for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Cellular aging stems from multifaceted intra- and extracellular molecular changes that lead to the gradual deterioration of biological function. Altered extracellular matrix (ECM) properties that include biochemical, structural, and mechanical perturbations direct cellular- and tissue-level dysfunction. With recent advancements in high-resolution imaging modalities and nanomaterial strategies, the importance of nanoscale ECM features has come into focus. Here, we provide an updated window into micro- to nano-scale ECM properties that are altered with age and in age-related disease, and the impact these altered small-scale ECM properties have on cellular function. We anticipate future impactful research will incorporate nanoscale ECM features in the design of new biomaterials and call on the tissue biology field to work collaboratively with the nanomaterials community.

Abstract
The long-term durability of the implant is influenced by two significant clinical challenges, namely bacterial infection and fixation loosening. Conventional implant materials have failed to meet the demands of the dynamic process of infectious bone repair, which necessitates early-stage bacterial sterilization and a conducive environment for late-stage osteogenesis. Consequently, there is an urgent requirement for an implant material that can sequentially regulate antibacterial properties and promote osteogenesis. The study aimed to develop a micropatterned graphene oxide nanocomposite on titanium implant (M-NTO/GO) for the sequential management of bacterial infection and osteogenic promotion. M-NTO/GO exhibited a micropattern nanostructure surface and demonstrated responsiveness to near-infrared (NIR) light. Upon NIR light irradiation, M-NTO/GO exhibited effective antibacterial properties, achieving antibacterial rates of 96.9% and 98.6% against E. coli and S. aureus, respectively. Under no-light condition, the micropatterned topography of M-NTO/GO exhibited the ability to induce directed cell growth, enhance cell adhesion and spreading, and facilitate osteogenic differentiation. These findings suggest the successful development of a functionalized micropatterned nanocomposite implant capable of sequentially regulating antibacterial and osteogenesis activity. Consequently, this highly effective strategy holds promise for expanding the potential applications of orthopedic implants.

Abstract
Corrodible metals are the newest kind of biodegradable materials and raise a new problem of the corrosion products. However, the removal of the precipitated products has been unclear and even largely ignored in publications. Herein, we find that albumin, an abundant macromolecule in serum, enhances the solubility of corrosion products of iron in blood mimetic Hank's solution significantly. This is universal for other main biodegradable metals such as magnesium, zinc and polyester-coated iron. Albumin also influences corrosion rates in diverse trends in Hank's solution and normal saline. Based on quantitative study theoretically and experimentally, both the effects on corrosion rates and soluble fractions are interpreted by a unified mechanism, and the key factor leading to different corrosion behaviors in corrosion media is the interference of albumin to the Ca/P passivation layer on the metal surface. This work has illustrated that the interactions between metals and media macromolecules should be taken into consideration in the design of the next-generation metal-based biodegradable medical devices in the formulism of precision medicine. The improved Hank's solution in the presence of albumin and with a higher content of initial calcium salt is suggested to access biodegradable metals potentially for cardiovascular medical devices, where the content of calcium salt is calculated after consideration of chelating of calcium ions by albumin, resulting in the physiological concentration of free calcium ions.

Abstract
Stem cell adhesion is mediated via the binding of integrin receptors to adhesion motifs present in the extracellular matrix (ECM). The spatial organization of adhesion ligands plays an important role in stem cell integrin-mediated adhesion. In this study, we developed a series of biointerfaces using arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD)-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-RGD) to study the effect of RGD adhesion ligand global density (ligand coverage over the surface), spacing, and RGD clustering levels on stem cell adhesion and differentiation. To prepare the biointerface, MSNs were chemically functionalized with RGD peptides via an antifouling poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) linker. The RGD surface functionalization ratio could be controlled to create MSNs with high and low RGD ligand clustering levels. MSN films with varying RGD global densities could be created by blending different ratios of MSN-RGD and non-RGD-functionalized MSNs together. A computational simulation study was performed to analyze nanoparticle distribution and RGD spacing on the resulting surfaces to determine experimental conditions. Enhanced cell adhesion and spreading were observed when RGD global density increased from 1.06 to 5.32 nmol cm-2 using highly clustered RGD-MSN-based films. Higher RGD ligand clustering levels led to larger cell spreading and increased formation of focal adhesions. Moreover, a higher RGD ligand clustering level promoted the expression of alkaline phosphatase in hMSCs. Overall, these findings indicate that both RGD global density and clustering levels are crucial variables in regulating stem cell behaviors. This study provides important information about ligand-integrin interactions, which could be implemented into biomaterial design to achieve optimal performance of adhesive functional peptides.

Abstract
Nowadays, biomaterials have evolved from the inert supports or functional substitutes to the bioactive materials able to trigger or promote the regenerative potential of tissues. The interdisciplinary progress has broadened the definition of 'biomaterials', and a typical new insight is the concept of tissue induction biomaterials. The term 'regenerative biomaterials' and thus the contents of this article are relevant to yet beyond tissue induction biomaterials. This review summarizes the recent progress of medical materials including metals, ceramics, hydrogels, other polymers and bio-derived materials. As the application aspects are concerned, this article introduces regenerative biomaterials for bone and cartilage regeneration, cardiovascular repair, 3D bioprinting, wound healing and medical cosmetology. Cell-biomaterial interactions are highlighted. Since the global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019, the review particularly mentions biomaterials for public health emergency. In the last section, perspectives are suggested: (i) creation of new materials is the source of innovation; (ii) modification of existing materials is an effective strategy for performance improvement; (iii) biomaterial degradation and tissue regeneration are required to be harmonious with each other; (iv) host responses can significantly influence the clinical outcomes; (v) the long-term outcomes should be paid more attention to; (vi) the noninvasive approaches for monitoring in vivo dynamic evolution are required to be developed; (vii) public health emergencies call for more research and development of biomaterials; and (viii) clinical translation needs to be pushed forward in a full-chain way. In the future, more new insights are expected to be shed into the brilliant field-regenerative biomaterials.

Many dynamic interactions within the cell microenvironment

remain understudied, as they occur at a nanoscale level. Recent progress
in nanotechnology allows for mimicking of the microenvironment at
nanoscale in vitro; electron-beam lithography (EBL)
is currently the most promising technique. Although this nanopatterning
technique can generate nanostructures of good quality and resolution,
it has resulted, thus far, in the production of only simple shapes
(e.g., rectangles) over a relatively small area (100 × 100 μm),
leaving its potential in biological applications unfulfilled. Here,
we used EBL for cell-interaction studies by coating cell-culture-relevant
material with electron-conductive indium tin oxide, which formed nanopatterns
of complex nanohexagonal structures over a large area (500 ×
500 μm). We confirmed the potential of EBL for use in cell-interaction
studies by analyzing specific cell responses toward differentially
distributed nanohexagons spaced at 1000, 500, and 250 nm. We found
that our optimized technique of EBL with HaloTags enabled the investigation
of broad changes to a cell-culture-relevant surface and can provide
an understanding of cellular signaling mechanisms at a single-molecule
level.

Abstract
Directed migration of cells through cell-surface interactions is a paramount prerequisite in biomaterial-induced tissue regeneration. However, whether and how the nanoscale spatial gradient of adhesion molecules on a material surface can induce directed migration of cells is not sufficiently known. Herein, we employed block copolymer micelle nanolithography to prepare gold nanoarrays with a nanospacing gradient, which were prepared by continuously changing the dipping velocity. Then, a self-assembly monolayer technique was applied to graft arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD) peptides on the nanodots and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) on the glass background. Since RGD can trigger specific cell adhesion via conjugating with integrin (its receptor in the cell membrane) and PEG can resist protein adsorption and nonspecific cell adhesion, a nanopattern with cell-adhesion contrast and a gradient of RGD nanospacing was eventually prepared. In vitro cell behaviors were examined using endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) as a demonstration. We found that SMCs exhibited significant orientation and directed migration along the nanospacing gradient, while ECs exhibited only a weak spontaneously anisotropic migration. The gradient response was also dependent upon the RGD nanospacing ranges, namely, the start and end nanospacings under a given distance and gradient. The different responses of these two cell types to the RGD nanospacing gradient provide new insights for designing cell-selective nanomaterials potentially used in cell screening, wound healing, etc.

Abstract
A complex and heterogeneous cell microenvironment offers not only structural support for cells but also myriad biochemical and biophysical cues. These outside-in signals transmit into cells primarily through integrins, which are the important components of cell-matrix adhesions to direct and maintain cell behaviors and fate. In this work, we report a surface-sensitive imaging methodology for evaluating the difference in cell-matrix adhesions at the single cell level to dissect the impact of the chemical microenvironment on cell behaviors. Cells were cultured on silica nanochannel membrane (SNM) modified indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes (SNM/ITO) with different terminal surfaces and imaged by electrochemiluminescence microscopy (ECLM). The results show that the surface tethered with Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) groups can mediate robust cell-microenvironment interaction and those coated with silanol and (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) groups transmit an intermediate adhesion, while oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) coated surface conveys the weakest cell-matrix adhesion. Specific recognition of integrins to different surfaces was further explored in conjunction with selective immunoblocking of different subunits. α6, α5, and α1 integrin subunits were found to recognize SNM, RGD/OEG, and APTES surfaces, respectively. The work provides not only insights into cell-microenvironment interaction but also guideline in the design and development of functional and biomimetic surface materials.

Abstract
Abstract
The aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening disease. The transcatheter endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) affords a minimally invasive technique to save lives of these critical patients, and an appropriate stent-graft gets to be the key medical device during an EVAR procedure. Herein, we report a trilayer stent-graft and corresponding delivery system used for the treatment of the AD disease. The stent-graft is made of nitinol stents with an asymmetric Z-wave design and two expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membranes. Each of inner and outer surfaces of the stent-graft was covered by an ePTFE membrane, and the two membranes were then sintered together. The biological studies of the sintered ePTFE membranes indicated that the stent-graft had excellent cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility in vitro. Both the stent-graft and the delivery system exhibited satisfactory mechanical properties and operability. The safety and efficacy of this stent-graft and the corresponding delivery system were demonstrated in vivo. In 9 canine experiments, the blood vessels of the animals implanted with the stent-grafts were of good patency, and there were no thrombus and obvious stenosis by angiography after implantation for 6 months. Furthermore, all of the 9 clinical cases experienced successful implantation using the stent-graft and its post-release delivery system, and the one-year follow-ups indicated the preliminary safety and efficacy of the trilayer stent-graft with an asymmetric Z-wave design for interventional treatment.

Abstract
Hemidesmosomes (HDs) are multiprotein complexes that firmly anchor epidermal cells to the basement membrane of skin through the interconnection of the cytoplasmic intermediate filaments with extracellular laminin 332 (Ln332). Considerably less attention has been paid to HDs compared to focal complexes/focal adhesions (FC/FAs) in mechanistic single-cell structures due to the lack of suitable in vitro model systems. Here nanopatterns of Ln332 (100-1000 nm) are created to direct and study the formation of HD in adherent HaCaT cells. It is observed that HaCaT cells at Ln 332 nanopatterns adhere via hemidesmosomes, in stark contrast to cells at homogeneous Ln332 surfaces that adhere via FC/FAs. Clustering of α6 integrin is observed at nanopatterned Ln332 of 300 nm patches and larger. Cells at 500 nm diameter patterns show strong colocalization of α6 integrin with ColXVII or pan-cytokeratin compared to 300 nm/1000 nm indicating a threshold for HD initiation >100 nm but a pattern size selection for maturation of HDs. It is demonstrated that the pattern of Ln332 can determine the cellular selection of adhesion types with a size-dependent initiation and maturation of HDs. The protein nanopatterning approach that is presented provides a new in vitro route to study the role of HDs in cell signaling and function.

Abstract
The malalignment of teeth is treated classically by metal braces with alloy wires, which has an unfavorable influence on the patients appearance during the treatment. With the development of digitization, computer simulation and three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, herein, a modern treatment was tried using clear polymeric aligners, which were fabricated by molding polyurethane films via thermoforming on the 3D-printed personalized dental models. The key parameters of photocurable 3D printing of dental models and the mechanical properties of the clear aligner film material were examined. The precision of a 3D-printed dental model mainly relied on characteristics of photocurable resin, the resolution of light source and the exposure condition, which determined the eventual shape of the molded clear aligner and thus the orthodontic treatment efficacy. The biocompatibility of the polyurethane film material was confirmed through cytotoxicity and hemolysis tests in vitro. Following a series of 3D-printed personalized dental models and finite element analysis to predict and plan the fabrication and orthodontic processes, corresponding clear aligners were fabricated and applied in animal experiments, which proved the efficacy and biocompatibility in vivo. Clinical treatments of 120 orthodontic cases were finally carried out with success, which highlights the advantage of the clear aligners as an esthetic, compatible and efficient appliance. ![]()

Abstract
Biophysical cues can regulate stem cell behaviours and have been considered as critical parameters of synthetic biomaterials for tissue engineering. In particular, hydrogels have been utilized as promising biomimetic and biocompatible materials to emulate the microenvironment. Therefore, well-defined mechanical properties of a hydrogel are important to direct desirable phenotypes of cells. Yet, limited research pays attention to engineering soft hydrogel with improved cell adhesive property, which is crucial for stem cell differentiation. Herein, we introduce silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) onto the surface of methacrylated hyaluronic (MeHA) hydrogel to manipulate the presentation of cell adhesive ligands (RGD) clusters, while remaining similar bulk mechanical properties (2.79 ± 0.31 kPa) to that of MeHA hydrogel (3.08 ± 0.68 kPa). RGD peptides are either randomly decorated in the MeHA hydrogel network or on the immobilized SiO2 NPs (forming MeHA–SiO2). Our results showed that human mesenchymal stem cells exhibited a ~1.3-fold increase in the percentage of initial cell attachment, a ~2-fold increase in cell spreading area, and enhanced expressions of early-stage osteogenic markers (RUNX2 and alkaline phosphatase) for cells undergoing osteogenic differentiation with the osteogenic medium on MeHA–SiO2 hydrogel, compared to those cultured on MeHA hydrogel. Importantly, the cells cultivated on MeHA–SiO2 expressed a ~5-fold increase in nuclear localization ratio of the yes-associated protein, which is known to be mechanosensory in stem cells, compared to the cells cultured on MeHA hydrogel, thereby promoting osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. These findings demonstrate the potential use of nanomaterials into a soft polymeric matrix for enhanced cell adhesion and provide valuable guidance for the rational design of biomaterials for implantation.
