Abstract
In recent years, polymer-based tissue adhesives (TAs) have been developed as an alternative to sutures to close and seal incisions or wounds owing to their ease of use, rapid application time, low cost, and minimal tissue damage. Although significant research is being conducted to develop new TAs with improved performances using different strategies, the applications of TAs are limited by several factors, such as weak adhesion strength and poor mechanical properties. Therefore, the next-generation advanced TAs with biomimetic and multifunctional properties should be developed. Herein, we review the requirements, adhesive performances, characteristics, adhesive mechanisms, applications, commercial products, and advantages and disadvantages of proteins- and synthetic polymer-based TAs. Furthermore, future perspectives in the field of TA-based research have been discussed.

Abstract
Laparoscopic surgery is undergoing rapid development. Replacing the traditional method of joining cut tissues with sutures or staples could greatly simplify and speed up laparoscopic procedures. This alternative could undoubtedly be adhesives. For decades, scientists have been working on a material to bond tissues together to create the best possible conditions for tissue regeneration. The results of research on tissue adhesives achieved over the past years show comparable treatment effects to traditional methods. Tissue adhesives are a good alternative to surgical sutures in wound closure. This article is a review of the most important groups of tissue adhesives including their properties and possible applications. Recent reports on the development of biological adhesives are also discussed.

Abstract
Tissue adhesives have been successfully used in various kind of surgeries such as oral and maxillofacial surgery for some time. They serve as a substitute for suturing of tissues and shorten treatment time. Besides synthetic-based adhesives, a number of biological-based formulations are finding their way into research and clinical application. In natural adhesives, proteins play a crucial role, mediating adhesion and cohesion at the same time. Silk fibroin, as a natural biomaterial, represents an interesting alternative to conventional medical adhesives. Here, the most commonly used bioadhesives as well as the potential of silk fibroin as natural adhesives will be discussed.

Abstract
Interfacing affinity between grafts and host tissues is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed for the clinical translation of tissue engineered extracellular matrix (ECM) based grafts. Dopamine is known as a universal adhesive, the catechol groups on which could form chelating bonds with metal ions. Herein we developed an adhesive nano-coating on ECM based grafts which could crosslink in situ with ferric ions for fixation with surrounding tissues after implantation without affecting the porous structures of the grafts. Therefore, decellularized living hyaline cartilage graft (dLhCG), a model ECM-based graft, with dopamine based natural biological material adhesive coatings was manufactured to address the interfacing affinity issue between ECM-based grafts and cartilage. A macromolecule backbone was needed for the coating material to avoid the formation of a rigid crosslinking system and adverse effects caused by small molecules of dopamine. Chondroitin sulfate (CS), a cartilage derived sulfated GAG, was chosen as the backbone to fabricate dopamine modified CS (CSD) with no impurities introduced to the joint. Dopamine modified serum albumin (BCD) was also chosen for the favorable biocompatibility of albumin. Both dLhCG coated with CSD and dLhCG coated with BCD showed enhanced adhesive strength with cartilage after chelating with ferric ions in situ compared to dLhCG and further potential in improving the interfacing affinity of dLhCG with cartilage.

Abstract
Polymeric tissue adhesives provide versatile materials for wound management and are widely used in a variety of medical settings ranging from minor to life-threatening tissue injuries. Compared to the traditional methods of wound closure (i.e., suturing and stapling), they are relatively easy to use, enable rapid application, and introduce minimal tissue damage. Furthermore, they can act as hemostats to control bleeding and provide a tissue-healing environment at the wound site. Despite their numerous current applications, tissue adhesives still face several limitations and unresolved challenges (e.g., weak adhesion strength and poor mechanical properties) that limit their use, leaving ample room for future improvements. Successful development of next-generation adhesives will likely require a holistic understanding of the chemical and physical properties of the tissue-adhesive interface, fundamental mechanisms of tissue adhesion, and requirements for specific clinical applications. In this review, we discuss a set of rational guidelines for design of adhesives, recent progress in the field along with examples of commercially available adhesives and those under development, tissue-specific considerations, and finally potential functions for future adhesives. Advances in tissue adhesives will open new avenues for wound care and potentially provide potent therapeutics for various medical applications.

Abstract
The increased demands of small-diameter vascular grafts (SDVGs) globally has forced the scientific society to explore alternative strategies utilizing the tissue engineering approaches. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) comprises one of the most lethal groups of non-communicable disorders worldwide. It has been estimated that in Europe, the healthcare cost for the administration of CVD is more than 169 billion €. Common manifestations involve the narrowing or occlusion of blood vessels. The replacement of damaged vessels with autologous grafts represents one of the applied therapeutic approaches in CVD. However, significant drawbacks are accompanying the above procedure; therefore, the exploration of alternative vessel sources must be performed. Engineered SDVGs can be produced through the utilization of non-degradable/degradable and naturally derived materials. Decellularized vessels represent also an alternative valuable source for the development of SDVGs. In this review, a great number of SDVG engineering approaches will be highlighted. Importantly, the state-of-the-art methodologies, which are currently employed, will be comprehensively presented. A discussion summarizing the key marks and the future perspectives of SDVG engineering will be included in this review. Taking into consideration the increased number of patients with CVD, SDVG engineering may assist significantly in cardiovascular reconstructive surgery and, therefore, the overall improvement of patients' life.

Abstract
Rapid hemostasis and formation of stable blood clots are very important to prevent massive blood loss from the excessive bleeding for living body, but their own clotting process cannot be completed in time for effective hemostasis without the help of hemostatic materials. In general, traditionally suturing and stapling techniques for wound closure are prone to cause the additional damages to the tissues, activated inflammatory responses, short usage periods and inevitable second operations in clinical applications. Especially for the large wounds that require the urgent closure of fluids or gases, these conventional closure methods are far from enough. To address these problems, various tissue adhesives, sealants and hemostatic materials are placed great expectation. In this review, we focused on the development of two main categories of tissue adhesive materials: synthetic polymeric adhesives and naturally derived polysaccharide adhesives. Research of the high performance of hemostatic adhesives with strong adhesion, better biocompatibility, easy usability and cheap price is highly demanded for both scientists and clinicians, and this review is also intended to provide a comprehensive summarization and inspiration for pursuit of more advanced hemostatic adhesives for biological fields.

Abstract
Abstract
Polyurethane (PU) elastomers represent an important class of segmented copolymers. Thanks to many available chemical compositions, a rather broad range of chemical, physical, and biocompatible properties of PU can be obtained. These polymers are often characterized by high tensile and tear strength, elongation, fatigue life, and wear resistance. However, their relatively high permeability towards gases and water as well as their biocompatibility still limits the PU’s practical application, especially for biomedical use, for example, in implants and medical devices. In this review, the barrier and permeability properties of segmented PUs related to their chemical structure and physical and chemical properties have been discussed, including the latest developments and different approaches to improve the PU barrier properties.

Abstract
Sutures penetrate tissues to close wounds. This process leads to inflammatory responses, prolongs healing time, and increases operation complexity. It becomes even worse when sutures are applied to stress-sensitive and fragile tissues. By bonding tissues via forming covalent bonds, some medical adhesives are not convenient to be used by surgeons and have side effects to the tissues. Here egg albumen adhesive (EAA) is reported with ultrahigh adhesive strength to bond various types of materials and can be easily used without any chemical and physical modifications. Compared with several commercial medical glues, EAA exhibits stronger adhesive property on porcine skin, glass, polydimethylsiloxane. The EAA also shows exceptional underwater adhesive strength. Finally, wound closure using EAA on poly(caprolactone) nanofibrous sheet and general sutures is investigated and compared in a rat wound model. EAA also does not show strong long-term inflammatory response, suggesting that EAA has potential as a medical glue, considering its abundant source, simple fabrication process, inherent nontoxicity, and low cost.

Abstract
Vascular implants belong to a specialised class of medical textiles. The basic purpose of a vascular implant (graft and stent) is to act as an artificial conduit or substitute for a diseased artery. However, the long-term healing function depends on its ability to mimic the mechanical and biological behaviour of the artery. This requires a thorough understanding of the structure and function of an artery, which can then be translated into a synthetic structure based on the capabilities of the manufacturing method utilised. Common textile manufacturing techniques, such as weaving, knitting, braiding, and electrospinning, are frequently used to design vascular implants for research and commercial purposes for the past decades. However, the ability to match attributes of a vascular substitute to those of a native artery still remains a challenge. The synthetic implants have been found to cause disturbance in biological, biomechanical, and hemodynamic parameters at the implant site, which has been widely attributed to their structural design. In this work, we reviewed the design aspect of textile vascular implants and compared them to the structure of a natural artery as a basis for assessing the level of success as an implant. The outcome of this work is expected to encourage future design strategies for developing improved long lasting vascular implants.

Abstract
In this paper, the authors describe a novel type of hydrogel coating prepared from the copolymer of human serum albumin and oxidized dextran. The material was designed as a hydrogel sealant for polyester (Dacron®)-based vascular grafts. Dextran was chosen as a coating material due to its anti-thrombogenic properties. Prepared hydrogels were compared with similar, already known biomaterial made from gelatine with the same cross-linking agent. Obtained hydrogels, prepared from various ratios of oxidized dextran/albumin or oxidized dextran/gelatine, showed different cross-linking densities, which caused differences in swelling, degradation rate and mechanical properties. Permeability tests confirmed the complete tightness of the hydrogel-modified prosthesis. Results showed that application of the hydrogel coating provided leakage-free prosthesis and eliminated the need of pre-clotting.

Abstract
Polyester filament yarns of different Deniers were knitted into tubular fabrics with different densities and thicknesses on a specially designed weft-knitting machine. The developed tubular fabric was used to reinforce polyurethane vascular graft and thus a kind of composite vascular graft was fabricated with a small inner diameter of 4 mm. Tensile properties of the reinforced composite vascular grafts were compared with the control tubular fabric and the pure PU vascular grafts. Elasticity and strength of the reinforced vascular grafts were improved compared with the weft-knitted tubular fabrics. Strength of the reinforced composite vascular grafts was almost 5-10 times of the strength of the pure PU vascular grafts. As the PU content increased in the reinforced composite vascular grafts, the wall thickness of the vascular graft and its strength increased, but the initial modulus of the reinforced composite vascular grafts remained similar to that of the weft-knitted tubular fabric, and the PU content showed little influence on the initial modulus of the reinforced composite vascular grafts. Microporous structure can also be fabricated in the wall of the reinforced composite vascular grafts.

Abstract
Collagen has been coated successfully onto numerous hydrophilic polymer scaffolds to improve cell adhesion. Due to the hydrophobic nature of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), coating with aqueous collagen solution is problematic for such scaffolds. This study facilitated the coating of TPU with collagen and compared cross-linking and coating techniques. Three different cross-linking methods were compared. Both thermal and glutaraldehyde methods showed proof of cross-linking; however glutaraldehyde seemed to be superior to the other methods. The use of human urine as a wetting agent and the chemical glutaraldehyde had no effect on a cytotoxicity test performed by means of a WST-1 assay with a fibroblastic cell line. Three different coating techniques for porous TPU scaffolds were also investigated: ultrasound, pressurized air and injection. Of these, injection performed best. This method facilitated a coating of 100% of the porous scaffolds examined, which was verified by staining, FTIR and SEM.

Abstract
Membrane-covered devices could help treat disease of the vasculature such as aneurysm, rupture, and fistulas. They are also investigated to reduce embolic complication associated with revascularization of saphenous vein graft. The aim of this study is to design a clinically applicable biodegradable membrane-covered stent based on the natural polysaccharide chitosan, which has been developed. The mechanical properties of the membrane is optimized through blending with polyethylene oxide (70:30% Wt CH:PEO). The membrane was able to sustain the mechanical deformation of the supporting self-expandable metallic stents during its deployment. The membrane was demonstrated to resist physiological transmural pressure (burst pressure resistance >500 mm Hg) and presented a high-water permeation resistance (1 mL/cm(2) min(-1) at 120 mmHg). The CH-PEO membrane showed a good hemocompatibility in an ex vivo assay. Heparin and hyaluronan surface complexation with the membrane further reduced platelet adhesion by 50.1 and 63% (p = 0.05). The ability of the membrane-covered devices to be used as a drug reservoir was investigated using the nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP). SNP-loaded membranes displayed significantly reduced platelet adhesion.

Abstract
There is great interest in improving cellular attachment to synthetic materials, particularly for developing small diameter tissue-engineered vascular grafts. However, limited research has been conducted to evaluate the adhesion characteristics of different cell types to absorbable substrates. Tissue engineered vessels typically fail as a result of delamination of the endothelial cell layer when exposed to fluid or blood flow. The focus of this research was to design and evaluate a flow chamber, using fibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells, to probe the bounds of the system. A flow chamber was designed and fabricated to compare the relative adhesion characteristics of cells to absorbable polymer films. A preliminary investigation of mouse fibroblast (3T3M) adhesion to semicrystalline poly-L-lactide (PLL) films was conducted to determine general operating specifications. Cell coverage on films was evaluated using a live-dead assay and image analysis; following exposure to flow, tests were similarly conducted. Based on these results, additional studies were conducted to compare the adhesion of rat aortic smooth muscle cells (SMC) and endothelial cells (EC) on PLL films.

Abstract
Our aim was to develop a new method of chemical binding of gentamicin to vascular prostheses made of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibres and covered with pig gelatine. We estimated (with the HPLC method) the immobilization yield, which equalled 76 or 8% depending on the concentration of the antibiotic used and the amount of gentamicin bound to the prosthesis (1.08-20.6 mg/g of prosthesis). The antibiotic was coupled in two modes: stable covalent binding or weak adhesion. The results confirmed that only a small quantity of the antibiotic (1.03-3.09%) was bound by adsorption. The modification of the prosthesis surface with immobilized gentamicin was visualized with a scanning microscope (SEM). Bacteriostatic properties of bound gentamicin were verified against different concentrations (cfu) of Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus strains. We have found lack of growth of these pathogen strains in Luria-Bertani (LB) medium containing pieces of gentamicin-coupled prosthesis during at least 28 days of the experiment. Contrary to that, a control medium containing pieces of prosthesis only soaked with gentamicin allowed a constant growth of bacteria.

Abstract
Polymers such as Dacron and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) have been used in high flow states with relative success but with limited application at lower flow states. Newer polymers with greater compliance, biomimicry, and ability to evolve into hybrid prostheses, suitable as smaller vessels, are now being introduced. In view of the advances in tissue engineering, this makes possible the creation of an ideal off-the-shelf bypass graft. We present a broad overview of the current state of prosthetic bypass grafts.

Abstract
A copolymer of L-lactic acid and epsilon-caprolactone (PLLACL) was synthesized with the aim of preparing a bioartificial, small-diameter and partially resorbable vascular graft. The material was submitted to surface functionalizations (i.e. chemical modification by means of hydrolytic 'etching' and plasma discharge) to promote endothelial cell (EC) adhesion and growth avoiding platelet adhesion or coagulation factor absorption. Furthermore, the behaviour of human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC) seeded on the untreated and treated copolymer is described, as well as the platelet adhesion and the modifications of coagulation factors determined by the copolymer itself. PLLACL in its native state provided little support for EC adhesion. Improved EC adherence was obtained when functional groups were provided on the polymer surface by surface chemical hydrolysis. HMVEC seeded and cultured on the polymer surface did not show any ultrastructural alteration, thus demonstrating the absence of the polymer cytotoxicity. Moreover, SEM analysis performed on cold plasma modified specimens showed the presence of a subconfluent monolayer of EC, with an elongated spread morphology. Both the untreated and treated copolymers induced only slight variations of platelet number, but determined the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) increase, due to factor XI reduction. Finally, a prototype of partially biodegradable vascular prosthesis was prepared with NaOH/HCl-treated copolymer. Pre-cultured HMVEC seeding of the prosthesis by means of a rotation device resulted in an almost completely coverage of the graft inner surface.
