Abstract
Recently emerged novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the resulting corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) led to urgent search for methods to prevent and treat COVID-19. Among important disciplines that were mobilized is the biomaterials science and engineering. Biomaterials offer a range of possibilities to develop disease models, protective, diagnostic, therapeutic, monitoring measures, and vaccines. Among the most important contributions made so far from this field are tissue engineering, organoids, and organ-on-a-chip systems, which have been the important frontiers in developing tissue models for viral infection studies. Also, due to low bioavailability and limited circulation time of conventional antiviral drugs, controlled and targeted drug delivery could be applied alternatively. Fortunately, at the time of writing this paper, we have two successful vaccines and new at-home detection platforms. In this paper, we aim to review recent advances of biomaterial-based platforms for protection, diagnosis, vaccination, therapeutics, and monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 and discuss challenges and possible future research directions in this field.

Surface modification by argon plasma treatment improves antioxidant defense ability of CHO-k1 cells on titanium surfaces. Toxicol In Vitro 2013; 28:381-7.

Abstract
Titanium is one of the most used materials in implants and changes in its surface can modify the cellular functional response to better implant fixation. An argon plasma treatment generates a surface with improved mechanical proprieties without modifying its chemical composition. Oxidative stress induced by biomaterials is considered one of the major causes of implant failure and studies in this field are fundamental to evaluate the biocompatibility of a new material. Therefore, in this work, induction of oxidative stress by titanium surfaces subjected to plasma treatment (PTTS) was evaluated. The viability of CHO-k1 cells was higher on PTTS discs. Cells grown on titanium surfaces are subjected to intracellular oxidative stress. Titanium discs subjected to the plasma treatment induced less oxidative stress than the untreated ones, which resulted in improved cellular survival. These were associated with improved cellular antioxidant response in Plasma Treated Titanium Surface (PTTS). Furthermore, a decrease in protein and DNA oxidative damage was observed on cells grown on the roughed surface when compared to the smooth one. In conclusion, our data suggest that the treatment of titanium with argon plasma may improve its biocompatible, thus improving its performance as implants or as a scaffold in tissue engineering.

Abstract
A novel polystyrene (PS) substrate with microscale porous structure was facilely fabricated by crystalline-controlled casting method using mixed solvent [N,N-dimethylformamide and ethyl alcohol (v/v)] based on the nonsolvent induced phase separation process. The substrate surfaces exhibited a bi-continuous microscale porous morphology with high porosity, large pore size and pore-pore connection structure. Moreover, behaviors of the normal human liver cell line (HL-7702) seeded on this substrate surface were carefully investigated. The results indicated that the cell adhesion, spread and cell-cell connection on the surface with subcellular pore size (∼ 10 μm) were similar to the cells proliferated on the flat PS surface. However, the number of HL-7702 cells proliferated on the PS microscale porous surface was higher than cells on the conventional PS flat surface, suggesting that the pore-pore structure was conducive to HL-7702 cell proliferation. Furthermore, hematoxylin and eosin staining and micronucleus test were performed. The results showed that fewer damages for nuclear and cytoplasm and less cell genotoxicity were caused by the microscale porous structure within the scope of pore size (∼ 10 μm) than that of the flat surface.

Abstract
Medical expenditures for devices are increasing along with the ageing of human population and the synthesis of materials such as silicone polymers is on upsurge for manufacturing these devices. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) emphasizes a battery of tests for preclinical assessment of biocompatibility of medical devices. Genotoxicity assays have become an integral component of these test procedures and it employs a set of in vitro and in vivo experiments to detect mutagens. Hence, this study was performed with an intention to investigate the genotoxic potential of the physiological saline extracts of three medical grade silicone polymer materials by the in vitro chromosomal aberration assay using human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Further, the oxidative stress inducing potential of the material extracts was investigated in vivo in mice liver homogenates using cyclophosphamide as positive control. The investigation revealed that none of the three materials were able to produce marked human lymphocyte chromosomal aberration, suggesting the absence of mutagens. The materials also showed negative results in their oxidative stress inducing potential, which was revealed by the normal levels of lipid peroxidation and unaltered levels of glutathione and its metabolizing enzymes in the mice liver tissue homogenates. It was interesting to observe a significant correlation between the genotoxic and antioxidant parameters investigated. Hence, it is suggested that the estimation of antioxidant status would serve as a better preliminary testing procedure prior to evaluating the genetic and molecular toxicity mechanisms of medical devices and/or materials intended for manufacture of such devices.

Abstract
Anodization of Al is used to produce optically smooth porous alumina (Al(2)O(3)) films with pores approximately 60 nm in diameter and approximately 6 mum deep. The capture protein, protein A, is adsorbed to the pore walls by noncovalent, electrostatic interactions, and thin film interference spectroscopy is used to detect binding of immunoglobulin (IgG). The porous alumina films are stable against corrosion and dissolution in aqueous media at pH 7, allowing quantitative monitoring of steady-state and time-resolved biomolecular binding. The bare porous Al(2)O(3) surface displays a significantly greater affinity for protein A than for IgG. The known species specificity of protein A binding to IgG is confirmed; the protein-A-modified sensor responds to IgG derived from rabbit, but not chicken (IgG/IgY). A "cascaded", or multiprobe sensing approach, is demonstrated, in which a specific target, sheep IgG, is administered to a sample modified with a protein A/rabbit anti-sheep IgG assembly. Binding measurements are confirmed by fluorescence microscopy using fluorescein-labeled IgG.
