Abstract
The development of 2D or 3D bioactive platforms for rapidly isolating pure populations of cells from adult stem cells holds promise for advancing the understanding of cellular mechanisms, drug testing, and tissue engineering. Over the years, methods have emerged to synthesize bioactive micro- and nanostructured 2D materials capable of directing stem cell fate. We introduce a novel method for randomly micro- or nanopatterning any protein/peptide onto both 2D and 3D scaffolds via spray technology. Our goal is to investigate the impact of arranging bioactive micropatterns (ordered vs disordered) on surfaces to guide human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) differentiation. The spray technology efficiently coats materials with controlled, cost-effective bioactive micropatterns in various sizes and shapes. BMP-2 mimetic peptides were covalently grafted, individually or in combination with RGD peptides, onto activated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) surfaces through a spraying process, incorporating nano/microscale parameters like size, shape, and composition. The study explores different peptide distributions on surfaces and various peptide combinations. Four surfaces were homogeneously functionalized with these peptides (M1 to M4 with various densities of peptides), and six surfaces with disordered micro- and nanopatterns of peptides (S0 to S5 with different sizes of peptide patterns) were synthesized. Fluorescence microscopy assessed peptide distribution, followed by hMSC culture for 2 weeks, and evaluated osteogenic differentiation via immunocytochemistry and RT-qPCR for osteoblast and osteocyte markers. Cells on uniformly peptide-functionalized surfaces exhibited cuboidal forms, while those on surfaces with disordered patterns tended toward columnar or cuboidal shapes. Surfaces S4 and S5 showed dendrite-like formations resembling an osteocyte morphology. S5 showed significant overexpression of osteoblast (OPN) and osteocyte markers (E11, DMP1, and SOST) compared to control surfaces and other micropatterned surfaces. Notably, despite sharing an equivalent quantity of peptides with a homogeneous functionalized surface, S5 displayed a distinct distribution of peptides, resulting in enhanced osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs.

Abstract
Ideal bone tissue engineering is to induce bone regeneration through the synergistic integration of biomaterial scaffolds, bone progenitor cells, and bone-forming factors. Biomimetic scaffolds imitate the native extracellular matrix (ECM) and are often utilized in vitro as analogues of the natural ECM to facilitate investigations of cell-ECM interactions and processes. In vivo, the cellular microenvironment has a crucial impact on regulating cell behavior and functions. A PET surface was activated and then functionalized with mimetic peptides to promote human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) adhesion and differentiation into an osteogenic lineage. Spray technology was used to randomly micropattern peptides (RGD and BMP-2 mimetic peptides) on the PET surface. The distribution of the peptides grafted on the surface, the roughness of the surfaces and the chemistry of the surfaces in each step of the treatment were ascertained by atomic force microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, Toluidine Blue O assay, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Subsequently, cell lineage differentiation was evaluated by quantifying the expression of immunofluorescence markers: osteoblast markers (Runx-2, OPN) and osteocyte markers (E11, DMP1, and SOST). In this article, we hypothesized that a unique combination of bioactive micro/nanopatterns on a polymer surface improves the rate of morphology change and enhances hMSC differentiation. In DMEM, after 14 days, disordered micropatterned surfaces with RGD and BMP-2 led to a higher osteoblast marker expression than surfaces with a homogeneous dual peptide conjugation. Finally, hMSCs cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium (ODM) showed accelerated cell differentiation. In ODM, our results highlighted the expression of osteocyte markers when hMSCs were seeded on PET surfaces with random micropatterns.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, is a rapidly evolving technique that allows for the fabrication of functional materials with complex architectures, controlled microstructures, and material combinations. This capability has influenced the field of biomedical sensing devices by enabling the trends of device miniaturization, customization, and elasticity (i.e., having mechanical properties that match with the biological tissue). In this paper, the current state-of-the-art knowledge of biomedical sensors with the unique and unusual properties enabled by 3D printing is reviewed. The review encompasses clinically important areas involving the quantification of biomarkers (neurotransmitters, metabolites, and proteins), soft and implantable sensors, microfluidic biosensors, and wearable haptic sensors. In addition, the rapid sensing of pathogens and pathogen biomarkers enabled by 3D printing, an area of significant interest considering the recent worldwide pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus, is also discussed. It is also described how 3D printing enables critical sensor advantages including lower limit-of-detection, sensitivity, greater sensing range, and the ability for point-of-care diagnostics. Further, manufacturing itself benefits from 3D printing via rapid prototyping, improved resolution, and lower cost. This review provides researchers in academia and industry a comprehensive summary of the novel possibilities opened by the progress in 3D printing technology for a variety of biomedical applications.

Abstract
The long-term patency rates of vascular grafts and stents are limited by the lack of surface endothelialisation of the implanted materials. We have previously reported that GRGDS and WQPPRARI peptide micropatterns increase the endothelialisation of prosthetic materials in vitro. To investigate the mechanisms by which the peptide micropatterns affect endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation, a TAMRA fluorophore-tagged RGD peptide was designed. Live cell imaging revealed that the micropatterned surfaces led to directional cell spreading dependent on the location of the RGD-TAMRA spots. Focal adhesions formed within 3 h on the micropatterned surfaces near RGD-TAMRA spot edges, as expected for cell regions experiencing high tension. Similar levels of focal adhesion kinase phosphorylation were observed after 3 h on the micropatterned surfaces and on surfaces treated with RGD-TAMRA alone, suggesting that partial RGD surface coverage is sufficient to elicit integrin signaling. Lastly, endothelial cell expansion was achieved in serum-free conditions on gelatin-coated, RGD-TAMRA treated or micropatterned surfaces. These results show that these peptide micropatterns mainly impacted cell adhesion kinetics rather than cell proliferation. This insight will be useful for the optimization of micropatterning strategies to improve vascular biomaterials.

Abstract
Several studies have shown that 65 % of expanded poly (tetrafluoroethylene) (ePTFE) vascular prostheses had to be explanted within 10 years of implantation in humans. The reasons for these explantations relied on thrombosis formation and poor hemocompatibility of synthetic polymers. It has been shown that surface modification of ePTFE arterial prostheses could enable their endothelialization therefore improving their biocompatibility and hemocompatibility. Indeed, endothelial cells naturally cover the biological blood vessel wall and consequently, an endothelial layer constitutes the best achievable hemocompatible surface. In this context, our strategy consisted in micropatterning cell adhesion (RGD) and proliferation (WQPPRARI) peptides on the surface of plasma-functionalized PTFE, therefore enabling covalent conjugation of the peptides. Basically, the technology consisted in spraying a solution of the adhesion peptide, therefore leading to 10 µm-diameter RGD spots semi-randomly distributed over the sample and covering 20 % of the whole polymer surface. In a second step, proliferation peptide was applied to the remaining surface by soaking, therefore covering the unreacted surface. The 20 % coverage was obtained by using an x-y table, programmed to move from side to side of the surface on x value, with an increment on y value that has been calibrated.

Abstract
The effects of flow on endothelial cells (ECs) have been widely examined for the ability of fluid shear stress to alter cell morphology and function; however, the effects of EC morphology without flow have only recently been observed. An increase in lithographic techniques in cell culture spurred a corresponding increase in research aiming to confine cell morphology. These studies lead to a better understanding of how morphology and cytoskeletal configuration affect the structure and function of the cells. This review examines EC micropatterning research by exploring both the many alternative methods used to alter EC morphology and the resulting changes in cellular shape and phenotype. Micropatterning induced changes in EC proliferation, apoptosis, cytoskeletal organization, mechanical properties, and cell functionality. Finally, the ways these cellular manipulation techniques have been applied to biomedical engineering research, including angiogenesis, cell migration, and tissue engineering, are discussed.

Abstract
In parallel with ink-jet printing and bioplotting, biological laser printing (BioLP) using laser-induced forward transfer has emerged as an alternative method in the assembly and micropatterning of biomaterials and cells. This paper presents results of high-throughput laser printing of a biopolymer (sodium alginate), biomaterials (nano-sized hydroxyapatite (HA) synthesized by wet precipitation) and human endothelial cells (EA.hy926), thus demonstrating the interest in this technique for three-dimensional tissue construction. A rapid prototyping workstation equipped with an IR pulsed laser (tau=30 ns, lambda=1064 nm, f=1-100 kHz), galvanometric mirrors (scanning speed up to 2000 mm s(-1)) and micrometric translation stages (x, y, z) was set up. The droplet generation process was controlled by monitoring laser fluence, focalization conditions and writing speed, to take into account its mechanism, which is driven mainly by bubble dynamics. Droplets 70 microm in diameter and containing around five to seven living cells per droplet were obtained, thereby minimizing the dead volume of the hydrogel that surrounds the cells. In addition to cell transfer, the potential of using high-throughput BioLP for creating well-defined nano-sized HA patterns is demonstrated. Finally, bioprinting efficiency criteria (speed, volume, resolution, integrability) for the purpose of tissue engineering are discussed.

Abstract
Covalent grafting of biomolecules could potentially improve the biocompatibility of materials. However, these molecules have to be grafted in an active conformation to play their biological roles. The present work aims at verifying if the surface conjugation scheme of fibronectin (FN) affects the protein orientation/conformation and activity. FN was grafted onto plasma-treated fused silica using two different crosslinkers, glutaric anhydride (GA) or sulfosuccinimidyl 4-(p-maleimidophenyl)butyrate (SMPB). Fused silica was chosen as a model surface material because it presents a roughness well below the dimensions of FN, therefore allowing AFM analyses with appropriate depth resolution. Cell adhesion assays were performed to evaluate the bioactivity of grafted FN. Cell adhesion was found to be higher on GA-FN than on SMPB-FN. Since FN-radiolabeling assays allowed us to rule out a surface concentration effect (approximately 80 ng/cm2 of FN on both crosslinkers), it was hypothesized that FN adopted a more active conformation when grafted via GA. In this context, the FN conformation on both crosslinkers was investigated through AFM and contact angle analyses. Before FN grafting, GA- and SMPB-modified surfaces had a similar water contact angle, topography, and roughness. However, water contact angles of GA-FN and SMPB-FN surfaces clearly show differences in surface hydrophilicity, therefore indicating a dependence of protein organization toward the conjugation strategy. Furthermore, AFM results demonstrated that surface topography and roughness of both FN-conjugated surfaces were significantly different. Distribution analysis of FN height and diameter confirmed this observation as the protein dimensions were significantly larger on GA than SMPB. This study confirmed that the covalent immobilization scheme of biomolecules influences their conformation and, hence, their activity. Consequently, selecting the appropriate conjugation strategy is of paramount importance in retaining molecule bioactivity.
