Abstract
Stable and uniform layers of protein molecules at the surface are important to build passive devices as well as active constructs for smart biointerfaces for a large number of biomedical applications. In this context, a strategy to build-up surfaces able to anchor protein molecules on specific and controlled surface sites has been developed. Human serum albumin (HSA) has been chosen as a model protein due to its important antithrombogenic properties and its features in cell response highly valuable for in vivo devices. Uniform self-assembled monolayers of 2,2':6'2″-terpyridines (SAM), whose sites were further employed to chelate copper and iron ions, forming SAM-Cu(II) and SAM-Fe(II) complexes, have been developed. The effect of two metal cations on the physicochemical features of SAM, including thickness, Young's modulus, and tip-monolayer adhesion factors, has been investigated. Protein adsorption at different concentrations showed that the copper ion-templated surfaces exhibit highly specific mass uptake, kinetic behavior, and recognition and anchoring of HSA molecules owing to the coordination sphere of the different cations. The results pave the way to the development of a more general strategy to obtain ordered and density-tuned arrays of specific metal cations, which in turn would drive the anchoring of precise proteins for different biological functions.

Abstract
The grafting of zwitterionic molecules onto solid surfaces is an important tool for decreasing the unwanted adsorption of biomolecules, such as proteins, bacteria, and cells. This has been achieved through various approaches, such as zwitterionic monolayer/multilayer formation, surface-initiated polymerization of zwitterionic monomers, and grafting of presynthesized zwitterionic polymers. Recently, a coordination-driven approach to grafting zwitterionic polymers onto solid surfaces has been discovered to be an effective method because of its versatility and robustness. However, the bacterial adhesion resistance of zwitterionic polymer grafting has been explored using only one molecular weight, and the non-biofouling performance against other fouling organisms has remained unexamined. In this study, the characteristics of coordination-driven surface zwitteration are systematically investigated. Sulfobetaine (SB) polymers with three different molecular weights are synthesized and employed for surface grafting. Polydopamine is used as a surface primer, and SB polymers are grafted onto the surfaces via the formation of metal-mediated coordinate bonds. The effect of molecular weight on the grafting efficiency and non-biofouling performance is investigated via protein adsorption and marine diatom adhesion assays. The SB polymer with a high molecular weight is found to be crucial for achieving strong resistance to protein adsorption and marine fouling.

Abstract
Polymer brushes are frequently used as surface-tethered antifouling layers in biosensors to improve sensor surface-analyte recognition in the presence of abundant non-target molecules in complex biological samples by suppressing nonspecific interactions. However, because brushes are complex systems highly responsive to changes in their surrounding environment, studying their properties remains a challenge. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is an emerging method in this context. In this mini review, we aim to elucidate the potential of EIS for investigating the physicochemical properties and structural aspects of polymer brushes. The application of EIS in brush-based biosensors is also discussed. Most common principles employed in these biosensors are presented, as well as interpretation of EIS data obtained in such setups. Overall, we demonstrate that the EIS-polymer brush pairing has a considerable potential for providing new insights into brush functionalities and designing highly sensitive and specific biosensors.

Abstract
How to balance the sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio of immunosensor remains many challenges during various diseases diagnosis. Here we develop a new microfluidic immunosensor based on surface-modified mesoporous nanofibers, and simultaneously realize an ultra-sensitivity and high signal-to-noise ratio for the detection of multiple biomarkers. In the current study, we fabricated titanium dioxide (TiO2)-based mesoporous electrospinning nanofibers, and modified nanofiber surface with both octadecylphosphonic acid (OPA) and poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide) triblock copolymer (PEO-PPO-PEO). Such nanofibers as solid substrate are covered on microfluidic channels. The porosity of our nanofibers dramatically increased the adsorption capability of antibodies, realizing an ultra sensitivity of biomarker detection. PEO-PPO-PEO modification can significantly block non-specific absorptions, obtaining a satisfied signal-to-noise ratio. For the detection of HIV p24 and interleukin 5 (IL-5), our immunosensor increased 6.41 and 6.93 fold in sensitivity and improved 504.66% and 512.80% in signal-to-noise ratio, in compared with gold standard immunoassay (ELISA) used in the clinic. Our immunosensor also broaden the linear range for the detection of HIV p24 (0.86-800 pg/ml) and IL-5 (0.70-800 pg/ml), in compared with ELISA which is 5.54-500 pg/ml for HIV p24 and 4.84-500 pg/ml for IL-5. Our work provided a guideline for the construction of advanced point-of-care immunosensor with an ultra-sensitivity and high signal-to-noise ratio for disease diagnosis.

Abstract
The inevitable formation of a protein corona upon contact of nanoparticles with different biological fluids is of great interest in the context of biomedical applications. It is well established that the surface chemistry of the respective nanomaterial has tremendous impact on protein adsorption, both in terms of the actual amount as well as the type of proteins adsorbed. In that regard, especially polyzwitterions are discussed as coating materials as they are known to partially inhibit protein adsorption. We herein present comparative incubation studies on iron oxide nanoparticles (either single core (SPION) or multicore nanoparticles (MCNP)) after coating with either polyanionic or polyzwitterionic polymeric shells based on polydehydroalanine (PDha). Apart from varying surface charge and chemistry, also the influence of incubation time and temperature on the formation and composition of a protein corona upon exposure to fetal calf serum was investigated. The amounts of adsorbed biomolecules were determined using thermogravimetric analysis. SDS-PAGE experiments revealed information on protein composition as major components of the biomolecule corona. Our results show that distinctly lower amounts of proteins are adsorbed onto polyzwitterionic hybrid nanoparticles in general, but also the corona composition varies as indicated by elevated relative ratios of medium molecular weight proteins (i.e. proteins 25-100 kDa) estimated by non-specific silver protein staining. In addition, increasing relative amounts of albumin (67 kDa) via specific Western blot assays on PDha-coated MCNP are detected.

Abstract
This work aimed at formulating paclitaxel (PTX) loaded cell penetrating peptide (CPP) coated Mn doped ZnS nanoparticles (Mn:ZnS NPs) for improved anti-cancer efficacy in vitro and in vivo. The developed PTX loaded Mn:ZnS NPs with different CPPs (PEN, pVEC and R9) showed enhanced anti-cancer effect compared to bare PTX, which has been validated by MTT assay followed by apoptosis assay and DNA fragmentation analysis. The in vivo bio-distribution and anti-cancer efficacy was studied on breast cancer xenograft model showing maximum tumor localization and enhanced therapeutic efficacy with R9 coated Mn:ZnS NPs (R9:Mn:ZnS NPs) and was confirmed by H/E staining. Thus, R9:Mn:ZnS NPs could be an ideal theranostic nano-carrier for PTX with enhanced the rapeutic efficacy toward cancer cells, where penetration and sustainability of therapeutics are essential.

Abstract
Throughout the last decades, magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) have gained tremendous interest in different fields of applications like biomedicine (e.g., magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), drug delivery, hyperthermia), but also more technical applications (e.g., catalysis, waste water treatment) have been pursued. Different surfactants and polymers are extensively used for surface coating of MNP to passivate the surface and avoid or decrease agglomeration, decrease or modulate biomolecule absorption, and in most cases increase dispersion stability. For this purpose, electrostatic or steric repulsion can be exploited and, in that regard, surface charge is the most important (hybrid) particle property. Therefore, polyelectrolytes are of great interest for nanoparticle coating, as they are able to stabilize the particles in dispersion by electrostatic repulsion due to their high charge densities. In this review article, we focus on polyzwitterions as a subclass of polyelectrolytes and their use as coating materials for MNP. In the context of biomedical applications, polyzwitterions are widely used as they exhibit antifouling properties and thus can lead to minimized protein adsorption and also long circulation times.

Abstract
The antifouling property of exogenous materials is vital for their in vivo applications. In this work, dissipative particle dynamics simulations are performed to study the self-assembled morphologies of two copolymer systems containing poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(carboxybetaine) (PCB) in aqueous solutions. Effects of polymer composition and polymer concentration on the self-assembled structures of the two copolymers (PLA-PEG and PLA-PCB) are investigated, respectively [PLA represents poly(lactic acid)]. Results show that whatever the copolymer composition is, PLA-PEG systems will self-assemble into core-shell structures, whereas onion-like and vesicle structures are also found for the PLA-PCB systems. Different morphologies are obtained at different polymer concentrations in both copolymer systems. Simulation results demonstrate that PCB is more stable than PEG in maintaining self-assembled spherical structures of copolymer systems because PLA-PEG forms dumbbell-like structures whereas PLA-PCB is spherical under the same polymer concentration. Although both copolymer systems can self-assemble into core-shell nanoparticles when the block ratio of PLA:PEG or PLA:PCB is 80:20, the core-shell structures of the nanoparticles are quite different. The shell layers formed by PEG in PLA-PEG nanoparticles are inhomogeneous in size because of the amphiphilicity of PEG, whereas the shell layers in PLA-PCB nanoparticles are homogenous because of the strong hydrophilicity of the zwitterionic PCB polymer block.

Abstract
The generation of polymer brushes by surface-initiated controlled radical polymerization (SI-CRP) techniques has become a powerful approach to tailor the chemical and physical properties of interfaces and has given rise to great advances in surface and interface engineering. Polymer brushes are defined as thin polymer films in which the individual polymer chains are tethered by one chain end to a solid interface. Significant advances have been made over the past years in the field of polymer brushes. This includes novel developments in SI-CRP, as well as the emergence of novel applications such as catalysis, electronics, nanomaterial synthesis and biosensing. Additionally, polymer brushes prepared via SI-CRP have been utilized to modify the surface of novel substrates such as natural fibers, polymer nanofibers, mesoporous materials, graphene, viruses and protein nanoparticles. The last years have also seen exciting advances in the chemical and physical characterization of polymer brushes, as well as an ever increasing set of computational and simulation tools that allow understanding and predictions of these surface-grafted polymer architectures. The aim of this contribution is to provide a comprehensive review that critically assesses recent advances in the field and highlights the opportunities and challenges for future work.

Abstract
Coating surfaces with thin or thick films of zwitterionic material is an effective way to reduce or eliminate nonspecific adsorption to the solid/liquid interface. This review tracks the various approaches to zwitteration, such as monolayer assemblies and polymeric brush coatings, on micro- to macroscopic surfaces. A critical summary of the mechanisms responsible for antifouling shows how zwitterions are ideally suited to this task.

Abstract
The surface primary amines of generation five poly(amido amine) (G5 PAMAM) dendrimer were modified by different amounts of carboxybetaine acrylamide (CBAA). As a result, the fully modified molecules (CBAA-PAMAM-20, obtained from the 20:1 molar ratio of CBAA molecules to amino groups in modification solution) show excellent compatibility with protein and cells. CBAA-PAMAM-20 and fibrinogen (Fg) could coexist in solution without forming aggregation, indicating very weak interaction force between CBAA-PAMAM-20 and fibrinogen. CBAA-PAMAM-20 exhibits almost undetectable hemolytic activity, while other partially modified ones cause severe hemolysis and fibrinogen aggregation. Furthermore, the membrane of human umbilical vascular endothelial cell (HUVEC) remains intact after 24 h incubation with CBAA-PAMAM-20. The cytotoxicity assay of HUVEC cells and KB cells also showed that the CBAA-PAMAM-20 was not cytotoxic up to a 2 mg/mL concentration (>90% cell viability). In short, a thin compact layer of zwitterionic carboxybetaine could reduce the cytotoxicity of PAMAM through minimizing the interaction with protein and cell membranes, which suggest that the carboxybetaine-coated PAMAM could be a useful platform for biocompatible carriers to load contrast agents and drugs.

Abstract
This paper presents a novel surface engineering approach that combines photochemical grafting and surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) to attach zwitterionic polymer brushes onto indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates. The photochemically grafted hydroxyl-terminated organic layer serves as an excellent platform for initiator attachment, and the zwitterionic polymer generated via subsequent SI-ATRP exhibits very good antifouling properties. Patterned polymer coatings can be obtained when the surface with covalently attached initiator was subjected to photomasked UV-irradiation, in which the C-Br bond that is present in the initiator was broken upon exposure to UV light. A further, highly versatile top-functionalization of the zwitterionic polymer brush was achieved by a strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition, without compromising its antifouling property. The attached bioligand (here: biotin) enables the specific immobilization of target proteins in a spatially confined fashion, pointing to future applications of this approach in the design of micropatterned sensing platforms on ITO substrates.
