Abstract
The modification of biomaterial surfaces has become increasingly relevant in the context of ongoing advancements in tissue engineering applications and the development of tissue-mimicking polymer materials. In this study, we investigated the layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of polyelectrolyte multilayer protein reservoirs consisting of poly-l-lysine (PLL) and hyaluronic acid (HA) on the hydrophobic surface of poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) elastomer. Using the methods of isothermal titration calorimetry and surface plasmon resonance, we systematically investigated the interactions between the polyelectrolytes and evaluated the deposition process in real time, providing insight into the phenomena associated with film assembly. PLL/HA LbL films deposited on PGS showed an exceptional ability to incorporate bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) compared to other growth factors tested, thus highlighting the potential of PLL/HA LbL films for osteoregenerative applications. The concentration of HA solution used for film assembly did not affect the thickness and topography of the (PLL/HA)10 films, but had a notable impact on the hydrophilicity of the PGS surface and the BMP-2 release kinetics. The release kinetics were successfully described using the Weibull model and hyperbolic tangent function, underscoring the potential of these less frequently used models to compare the protein release from LbL protein reservoirs.

Abstract
The immunomodulatory potential of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) can be boosted when exposed to interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). While pretreating hMSCs with IFN-γ is a common practice to enhance their immunomodulatory effects, the challenge lies in maintaining a continuous IFN-γ presence within cellular environments. Therefore, in this research, we investigate the sustainable presence of IFN-γ in the cell culture medium by immobilizing it in water-stable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) [PCN-333(Fe)]. The immobilized IFN-γ in MOFs was coated on top of multilayers composed of combinations of heparin (HEP) and collagen (COL) that were used as a bioactive surface. Multilayers were created by using a layer-by-layer assembly technique, with the final layer alternating between collagen (COL) and heparin (HEP). We evaluated the viability, differentiation, and immunomodulatory activity of hMSCs cultured on (HEP/COL) coated with immobilized IFN-γ in MOFs after 3 and 6 days of culture. Cell viability, compared to tissue culture plastic, was not affected by immobilized IFN-γ in MOFs when they were coated on (HEP/COL) multilayers. We also verified that the osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation of the hMSCs remained unchanged. The immunomodulatory activity of hMSCs was evaluated by examining the expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) and 11 essential immunomodulatory markers. After 6 days of culture, IDO expression and the expression of 11 immunomodulatory markers were higher in (HEP/COL) coated with immobilized IFN-γ in MOFs. Overall, (HEP/COL) multilayers coated with immobilized IFN-γ in MOFs provide a sustained presentation of cytokines to potentiate the hMSC immunomodulatory activity.

Abstract
The layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technology has been widely used to functionalise surfaces and precisely engineer robust multilayered bioarchitectures with tunable structures, compositions, properties, and functions at the nanoscale by resorting to a myriad of building blocks exhibiting complementary interactions. Among them, marine-origin polysaccharides are a sustainable renewable resource for the fabrication of nanostructured biomaterials for biomedical applications owing to their wide bioavailability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-cytotoxicity, and non-immunogenic properties. Chitosan (CHT) and alginate (ALG) have been widely employed as LbL ingredients to shape a wide repertoire of size- and shape-tunable electrostatic-driven multilayered assemblies by exploring their opposite charge nature. However, the insolubility of CHT in physiological conditions intrinsically limits the range of bioapplications of the as-developed CHT-based LbL structures. Herein, we report the preparation of free-standing (FS) multilayered membranes made of water-soluble quaternised CHT and ALG biopolymers for controlled release of model drug molecules. The influence of the film structure in the drug release rate is studied by assembling two distinct set-ups of FS membranes, having the model hydrophilic drug fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA) either as an intrinsic building block or added as an outer layer after the LbL assembly process. Both FS membranes are characterised for their thickness, morphology, in vitro cytocompatibility, and release profile, with those having FITC-BSA as an intrinsic LbL ingredient denoting a more sustained release rate. This work opens up new avenues for the design and development of a wide array of CHT-based devices for biomedical applications, overcoming the limitations associated with the insolubility of native CHT under physiological conditions.

Abstract
Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) are multipotent cells that have been proposed for the treatment of immune-mediated diseases. Culturing hMSCs on tissue culture plastic reduces their therapeutic potential in part due to the lack of extracellular matrix components. The aim of this study is to evaluate multilayers of heparin and poly(L-lysine) (HEP/PLL) as a bioactive surface for hMSCs stimulated with soluble interferon gamma (IFN-γ). Multilayers were formed, via layer-by-layer assembly, with HEP as the final layer and supplemented with IFN-γ in the culture medium. Multilayer construction and chemistry were confirmed using Azure A staining, quartz crystal microbalance, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. hMSCs adhesion, viability, and differentiation, were assessed. Results showed that (HEP/PLL) multilayer coatings were poorly adhesive for hMSCs. However, performing chemical crosslinking using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide significantly enhanced hMSCs adhesion and viability. The immunosuppressive properties of hMSCs cultured on crosslinked (HEP/PLL) multilayers were confirmed by measuring indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase activity. Lastly, hMSCs cultured on crosslinked (HEP/PLL) multilayers in the presence of soluble IFN- γ successfully differentiated towards the osteogenic and adipogenic lineages as confirmed by Alizarin red, and oil-red O staining, as well as alkaline phosphatase activity. This study suggests that crosslinked (HEP/PLL) films can modulate hMSCs response to soluble factors, which may improve hMSCs-based therapies aimed at treating several immune diseases.

Abstract
Current therapeutic modalities to treat urethral strictures are associated with several challenges and shortcomings. Therefore, significant strides have been made to develop strategies with minimal side effects and the highest therapeutic potential. In this framework, electrospun scaffolds incorporated with various cells or bioactive agents have provided promising vistas to repair urethral defects. Due to the biomimetic nature of these constructs, they can efficiently mimic the native cells’ niches and provide essential microenvironmental cues for the safe transplantation of multiple cell types. Furthermore, these scaffolds are versatile platforms for delivering various drug molecules, growth factors, and nucleic acids. This review discusses the recent progress, applications, and challenges of electrospun scaffolds to deliver cells or bioactive agents during the urethral defect repair process. First, the current status of electrospinning in urethral tissue engineering is presented. Then, the principles of electrospinning in drug and cell delivery applications are reviewed. Finally, the recent preclinical studies are summarized and the current challenges are discussed.

Abstract
Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) are multipotent cells that have been proposed for cell therapies due to their immunosuppressive capacity that can be enhanced in the presence of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ). In this study, multilayers of heparin (HEP) and collagen (COL) (HEP/COL) were used as a bioactive surface to enhance the immunomodulatory activity of hMSCs using soluble IFN-γ. Multilayers were formed, via layer-by-layer assembly, varying the final layer between COL and HEP and supplemented with IFN-γ in the culture medium. We evaluated the viability, adhesion, real-time growth, differentiation, and immunomodulatory activity of hMSCs on (HEP/COL) multilayers. HMSCs viability, adhesion, and growth were superior when cultured on (HEP/COL) multilayers compared to tissue culture plastic. We also confirmed that hMSCs osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation remained unaffected when cultured in (HEP/COL) multilayers in the presence of IFN-γ. We measured the immunomodulatory activity of hMSCs by measuring the level of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) expression. IDO expression was higher on (HEP/COL) multilayers treated with IFN-γ. Lastly, we evaluated the suppression of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) proliferation when co-cultured with hMSCs on (HEP/COL) multilayers with IFN-γ. hMSCs cultured in (HEP/COL) multilayers in the presence of soluble IFN-γ have a greater capacity to suppress PBMC proliferation. Altogether, (HEP/COL) multilayers with IFN-γ in culture medium provides a potent means of enhancing and sustaining immunomodulatory activity to control hMSCs immunomodulation.

Abstract
Tissue-engineered heart valves are a promising alternative solution to prosthetic valves. However, long-term functionalities of tissue-engineered heart valves depend on the ability to mimic the trilayered, oriented structure of native heart valve leaflets. In this study, using electrospinning, we developed trilayered microfibrous leaflet substrates with morphological characteristics similar to native leaflets. The substrates were implanted subcutaneously in rats to study the effect of their trilayered oriented structure on in vivo tissue engineering. The tissue constructs showed a well-defined structure, with a circumferentially oriented layer, a randomly oriented layer and a radially oriented layer. The extracellular matrix, produced during in vivo tissue engineering, consisted of collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and elastin, all major components of native leaflets. Moreover, the anisotropic tensile properties of the constructs were sufficient to bear the valvular physiological load. Finally, the expression of vimentin and α-smooth muscle actin, at the gene and protein level, was detected in the residing cells, revealing their growing state and their transdifferentiation to myofibroblasts. Our data support a critical role for the trilayered structure and anisotropic properties in functional leaflet tissue constructs, and indicate that the leaflet substrates have the potential for the development of valve scaffolds for heart valve replacements.

Abstract
Implant-related infection is one of the serious problems in regenerative medicine. Promising approach to overcome the problems caused by bacterial growth on the medical implants is their modification by bioactive coatings. A versatile technique for designing multilayer films with tailored characteristics at the nanometer scale is layer-by-layer assembly. In this study, multilayer films based on biopolymers (pectin and chitosan) and their nanocomposites with silver nanoparticles have been prepared and evaluated. The buildup of multilayers was monitored using the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation technique. The morphology of the obtained films was investigated by atomic force microscopy. We have demonstrated that pectin-Ag-containing films were characterized by the linear growth and smooth defect-free surface. When pectin-Ag was substituted for the pectin in the multilayer systems, the properties of the formed coatings were significantly changed: the film rigidity and surface roughness increased, as well as the film growth acquired the parabolic character. All prepared multilayer films have shown antibacterial activity against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria. The significant decrease in the number of the adhered E. coli on the multilayer surface has been determined; moreover, many of the cells were misshapen with cytoplasm leaking. The prepared multilayer films showed a mild activity against S. aureus predominantly due to the antiadhesive effect. Our results indicate that antibacterial activity of biopolymer multilayers is determined by the film composition and physicochemical characteristics and can be associated with their antiadhesive and bactericidal behaviors.

Abstract
Vascular diseases are the most prevalent cause of ischemic necrosis of tissue and organ, which even result in dysfunction and death. Vascular regeneration or artificial vascular graft, as the conventional treatment modality, has received keen attentions. However, small-diameter (diameter < 4 mm) vascular grafts have a high risk of thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia (IH), which makes long-term lumen patency challengeable. Endothelial cells (ECs) form the inner endothelium layer, and are crucial for anti-coagulation and thrombogenesis. Thus, promoting in situ endothelialization in vascular graft remodeling takes top priority, which requires recruitment of endothelia progenitor cells (EPCs), migration, adhesion, proliferation and activation of EPCs and ECs. Chemotaxis aimed at ligands on EPC surface can be utilized for EPC homing, while nanofibrous structure, biocompatible surface and cell-capturing molecules on graft surface can be applied for cell adhesion. Moreover, cell orientation can be regulated by topography of scaffold, and cell bioactivity can be modulated by growth factors and therapeutic genes. Additionally, surface modification can also reduce thrombogenesis, and some drug release can inhibit IH. Considering the influence of macrophages on ECs and smooth muscle cells (SMCs), scaffolds loaded with drugs that can promote M2 polarization are alternative strategies. In conclusion, the advanced strategies for enhanced long-term lumen patency of vascular grafts are summarized in this review. Strategies for recruitment of EPCs, adhesion, proliferation and activation of EPCs and ECs, anti-thrombogenesis, anti-IH, and immunomodulation are discussed. Ideal vascular grafts with appropriate surface modification, loading and fabrication strategies are required in further studies.

Abstract
Rapid development of versatile layer-by-layer technology has resulted in important breakthroughs in the understanding of the nature of molecular interactions in multilayer assemblies made of polyelectrolytes. Nowadays, polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEM) are considered to be non-equilibrium and highly dynamic structures. High interest in biomedical applications of PEMs has attracted attention to PEMs made of biopolymers. Recent studies suggest that biopolymer dynamics determines the fate and the properties of such PEMs; however, deciphering, predicting and controlling the dynamics of polymers remains a challenge. This review brings together the up-to-date knowledge of the role of molecular dynamics in multilayers assembled from biopolymers. We discuss how molecular dynamics determines the properties of these PEMs from the nano to the macro scale, focusing on its role in PEM formation and non-enzymatic degradation. We summarize the factors allowing the control of molecular dynamics within PEMs, and therefore to tailor polymer multilayers on demand.

Abstract
Lithium-sulfur batteries can displace lithium-ion by delivering higher specific energy. Presently, however, the superior energy performance fades rapidly when the sulfur electrode is loaded to the required levels-5 to 10 mg cm-2- due to substantial volume change of lithiation/delithiation and the resultant stresses. Inspired by the classical approaches in particle agglomeration theories, we found an approach that places minimum amounts of a high-modulus binder between neighboring particles, leaving increased space for material expansion and ion diffusion. These expansion-tolerant electrodes with loadings up to 15 mg cm-2 yield high gravimetric (>1200 mA·hour g-1) and areal (19 mA·hour cm-2) capacities. The cells are stable for more than 200 cycles, unprecedented in such thick cathodes, with Coulombic efficiency above 99%.

Abstract
Blood-contacting surfaces of cardiovascular devices are not biocompatible for creating an endothelial layer on them. Numerous research studies have mainly sought to modify these surfaces through physical, chemical and biological means to ease early endothelial cell (EC) adhesion, migration and proliferation, and eventually to build an endothelial layer on the surfaces. The first priority for surface modification is inhibition of protein adsorption that leads to inhibition of platelet adhesion to the device surfaces, which may favor EC adhesion. Surface modification through surface texturing, if applicable, can bring some hopeful outcomes in this regard. Surface modifications through chemical and/or biological means may play a significant role in easy endothelialization of cardiovascular devices and inhibit smooth muscle cell proliferation. Cellular engineering of cells relevant to endothelialization can boost the positive outcomes obtained through surface engineering. This review briefly summarizes recent developments and research in early endothelialization of cardiovascular devices. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Endothelialization of cardiovascular implants, including heart valves, vascular stents and vascular grafts is crucial to solve many problems in our health care system. Numerous research efforts have been made to improve endothelialization on the surfaces of cardiovascular implants, mainly through surface modifications in three ways - physically, chemically and biologically. This review is intended to highlight comprehensive research studies to date on surface modifications aiming for early endothelialization on the blood-contacting surfaces of cardiovascular implants. It also discusses future perspectives to help guide endothelialization strategies and inspire further innovations.

Abstract
An oronasal fistula is a passage between the oral and nasal cavity. Currently, surgical procedures use mucosal flaps or collagen grafts to make a barrier between oral and nasal cavities. Our aim was to develop a cell-free synthetic repair material for closure of nasal fistulas. We surface functionalized electrospun polyurethane (PU) and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) and composite polymer (PU-PLLA) membranes with acrylic acid through plasma polymerization. Membranes were treated in a layer-by-layer approach to develop highly charged electrostatic layer that could bind heparin as a pro-angiogenic glycosaminoglycan. The properties were evaluated through physical, chemical, and mechanical characterization techniques. Cytotoxicity was tested with MC3T3 pre-osteoblast cell lines for 3, 7, and 14 days, and vasculogenesis was assessed by implantation into the chorio-allantoic membrane in chick embryos for 7 days. In vivo biocompatibility was assessed by subcutaneous implantation in rats for 1, 3, and 6 weeks. The membranes consisted of random fibers of PLLA-PU with fiber diameters of 0.47 and 0.12 μm, respectively. Significantly higher cell proliferation and migration of MC3T3 cells at 3, 7, and 14 days were shown on plasma-coated membranes compared with uncoated membranes. Further, it was found that plasma-coated membranes were more angiogenic than controls. In vivo implantation of membranes in rats did not reveal any gross toxicity to the materials, and wound healing was comparable with the native tissue repair (sham group). We therefore present a plasma-functionalized electrospun composite polymer membrane for use in the treatment of fistulas. These membranes are flexible, non-cytotoxic, and angiogenic, and we hope it should lead to permanent closure of oronasal fistula.

Abstract
Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide that is extracted primarily from seaweed. The polymer contains a natural variation in chemistry based upon the species of seaweed from which it is extracted. We have used two different fucoidans from two different seaweed species (Fucus vesiculosus - FV; and Undaria pinnatifida - UP) as polyanions for the formation of polysaccharide-based polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs), to determine if the chemistry of different fucoidans can be chosen to fine-tune the structure of the polymer film. Partially acetylated chitosan was chosen as the polycation for the work, and the presented data illustrate the effect of secondary hydrogen bonding interactions on PEM build-up and properties. Ellipsometry and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) measurements performed during film build-up enabled detailed measurements of layer thickness, adsorbed mass, and the dynamics of the multilayer formation process. High quality atomic force microscopy (AFM) images revealed the differences in morphology of the PEMs formed from the two fucoidans, and allowed for a more direct layer thickness measurement. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the chemistry of the films, and an indication of the altered interactions between chitosan and fucoidan with variation in fucoidan type, but also with layer number. Distinct differences were observed between multilayers formed with the two fucoidans, with those constructed using UP having thinner, denser, less hydrated layers than those constructed using FV. These differences are discussed in the context of their varied chemistry, primarily their difference in molecular weight and degree of acetylation.

Abstract
Tissue-engineered constructs often fail due to poor integration with the patient’s tissues. Specifically, they fail to be neovascularised, leading to the death and loss of the implanted tissues. Thus, there is a need to produce angiogenic materials to improve tissue integration. We describe the development of a layer-by-layer approach to coat electrospun scaffolds to help promote angiogenesis into these biomaterials once implanted. Electrospun poly-L-lactic acid was coated comparing two different techniques – one using alternative layers of polyethyleneImine (PEI) and polyacrylic Acid (PAC) and one with alternative layers of PEI and heparin for a total of seven layers in both cases. Both scaffolds were then coated with heparin as the final layer. The scaffold coated with alternate PEI and PAC showed a clear ability to bind the most heparin. This scaffold was then studied further for its ability to bind vascular endothelial growth factor, which was confirmed using an ELISA. The scaffold coated with seven alternate layers of PEI and PAC and heparin was then implanted in a chick chorionic allantoic membrane (CAM) assay. After a period of 7 days in the CAM, the coated scaffold showed strong angiogenic activity. In contrast, the uncoated scaffolds did not promote angiogenesis. We conclude that this approach to functionalising scaffolds is effective within a clinically relevant time period (7 days in an in-vivo angiogenic model) and suggest this will be useful for improving integration of scaffolds once implanted.
