Abstract
To address the adverse reactions caused by the implantation of blood-contacting materials, researchers have developed different strategies, of which mimicking multiple key features of endothelial cells is the most effective. However, simultaneously immobilizing multiple chemical components on a single material surface and maintaining the effects of individual components are challenging. In this work, endothelium-mimicking silicone surfaces were developed by incorporating the antifouling polymer poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate), the glycosaminoglycan analog poly(sodium 4-vinyl-benzenesulfonate) and a nitric oxide catalyst (selenocystamine dihydrochloride). Through the rational regulation of multiple chemical components, the surfaces harmoniously resisted nonspecific protein adsorption, platelet adhesion and activation and smooth muscle cell hyperproliferation while promoting endothelial cell proliferation and migration. The coculture experiment with HUVECs and HUVSMCs showed that the optimum selectivity of HUVECs/HUVSMCs was ∼1.7. This work contributes insight into the control of antifouling properties and endothelial selectivity, providing a new avenue for the development of blood-contacting materials.

Abstract
Surface endothelialization is a promising way to improve the hemocompatibility of biomaterials. However, current surface endothelialization strategies have limitations. For example, various surface functions are not well balanced, leading to undesirable results, especially when multiple functional components are introduced. In this work, a multifunctional surface was constructed by balancing the functions of antifouling, nitric oxide (NO) release and endothelial cell promotion via layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly. Poly(sodium p-styrenesulfonate-co-oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) (negatively charged) and polyethyleneimine (positively charged) were deposited on silicon substrates to construct multilayers by LBL self-assembly. Then, organic selenium, which has a NO-releasing function, and the cell-adhesive peptide Gly-Arg-Glu-Asp-Val-Tyr, which selectively promotes endothelial cells, were introduced on the assembled multilayers. Poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) is a hydrophilic component for antifouling properties, and poly(sodium p-styrenesulfonate) is a heparin analog that provides negative charges. By modulating the contents of poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate) and poly(sodium p-styrenesulfonate) in the copolymers, the NO release rates catalyzed by the modified surfaces were regulated. Moreover, the behaviors of endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells on modified surfaces were well controlled. The optimized surface strongly promoted endothelial cells and inhibited smooth muscle cells to achieve endothelialization effectively.

Abstract
To effectively solve the problem of significant loss of transplanted cells caused by thrombosis during cell transplantation, this study simulates the human fibrinolytic system and combines metabolic oligosaccharide engineering with strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) click chemistry to construct a cell surface with fibrinolytic activity. First, a copolymer (POL) of oligoethylene glycol methacrylate (OEGMA) and 6-amino-2-(2-methylamido)hexanoic acid (Lys) was synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization, and the dibenzocyclooctyne (DBCO) functional group was introduced into the side chain of the copolymer through an active ester reaction, resulting in a functionalized copolymer DBCO-PEG4-POL with ε-lysine ligands. Then, azide functional groups were introduced onto the surface of HeLa model cells through metabolic oligosaccharide engineering, and DBCO-PEG4-POL was further specifically modified onto the surface of HeLa cells via the SPAAC "click" reaction. In vitro investigations revealed that compared with unmodified HeLa cells, modified cells not only resist the adsorption of nonspecific proteins such as fibrinogen and human serum albumin but also selectively bind to plasminogen in plasma while maintaining good cell viability and proliferative activity. More importantly, upon the activation of adsorbed plasminogen into plasmin, the modified cells exhibited remarkable fibrinolytic activity and were capable of promptly dissolving the primary thrombus formed on their surfaces. This research not only provides a novel approach for constructing transplantable cells with fibrinolytic activity but also offers a new perspective for effectively addressing the significant loss of transplanted cells caused by thrombosis.

Abstract
Long-term blood-contacting devices (e.g., central venous catheters, CVCs) still face the highest incidence of blood stream infection and thrombosis in clinical application. To effectively address these complications, this work reports a dual-functional surface engineering strategy for CVCs by organic integration of endothelium-mimicking and fibrinolytic functions. In this proposal, a lysine (Lys)/Cu2+ -incorporated zwitterionic polymer coating (defined as PDA/Lys/Cu-SB) is designed and robustly fabricated onto commercial CVCs using a facile two-step process. Initially, adhesive ene-functionalized dopamine is covalently reacted with Lys and simultaneously coordinated with bactericidal Cu2+ ions, leading to the deposition of a PDA/Lys/Cu coating on CVCs through mussel foot protein inspired surface chemistry. Next, zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (pSB) brushes are grafted onto the PDA/Lys/Cu coating to endow lubricant and antifouling properties. In the final PDA/Lys/Cu-SB coating, endothelium-mimicking function is achieved by combining the catalytic generation of nitric oxide from the chelated Cu2+ with antifouling pSB brushes, which led to significant prevention of thrombosis, and bacterial infection in vivo. Furthermore, the immobilized Lys with fibrinolytic activity show remarkably enhanced long-term anti-thrombogenic properties as evidenced in vivo by demonstrating the capability to lyse nascent clots. Therefore, this developed strategy provides a promising solution for long-term blood-contacting devices to combat thrombosis and infection.

Abstract
Extensive and permanent damage to the vasculature leading to different pathogenesis calls for developing innovative therapeutics, including drugs, medical devices, and cell therapies. Innovative strategies to engineer bioartificial/biomimetic vessels have been extensively exploited as an effective replacement for vessels that have seriously malfunctioned. However, further studies in polymer chemistry, additive manufacturing, and rapid prototyping are required to generate highly engineered vascular segments that can be effectively integrated into the existing vasculature of patients. One recently developed approach involves designing and fabricating acellular vessel equivalents from novel polymeric materials. This review aims to assess the design criteria, engineering factors, and innovative approaches for the fabrication and characterization of biomimetic macro- and micro-scale vessels. At the same time, the engineering correlation between the physical properties of the polymer and biological functionalities of multiscale acellular vascular segments are thoroughly elucidated. Moreover, several emerging characterization techniques for probing the mechanical properties of tissue-engineered vascular grafts are revealed. Finally, significant challenges to the clinical transformation of the highly promising engineered vessels derived from polymers are identified, and unique perspectives on future research directions are presented.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), epidemic poses a major global public health threat with more than one million daily new infections and hundreds of deaths. To combat this global pandemic, efficient prevention and management strategies are urgently needed. Together with the main characteristics of COVID-19, impaired coagulation with dysfunctions of the immune response in COVID-19 pathophysiology causes high mortality and morbidity. From recent clinical observations, increased expression of specific types of estrogen appears to protect patients from SARS-CoV-2 infection, thereby, reducing mortality. COVID-19 severity is less common in women than in men, particularly in menopausal women. Furthermore, estrogen levels are negatively correlated with COVID-19 severity and mortality. These findings suggest that estrogen plays a protective role in the pathophysiology of COVID-19. In this review, we discuss the potential roles of estrogen in blocking the SARS-CoV-2 from invading alveolar cells and replicating, and summarize the potential mechanisms of anti-inflammation, immune modulation, reactive oxygen species resistance, anti-thrombosis, vascular dilation, and vascular endothelium protection. Finally, the potential therapeutic effects of estrogen against COVID-19 are reviewed. This review provides insights into the role of estrogen and its use as a potential strategy to reduce the mortality associated with COVID-19, and possibly other viral infections and discusses the possible challenges and pertinent questions.

Abstract
Over the years, several devices have been created (and the development of many others is currently in progress) to be in permanent contact with blood: mechanical circulatory supports represent an example thereof. The hemocompatibility of these devices largely depends on the chemical composition of blood-contacting components. In the present work, an innovative material (hybrid membrane) is proposed to fabricate the inner surfaces of a pulsatile ventricular chamber: it has been obtained by coupling a synthetic polymer (e.g., commercial polycarbonate urethane) with decellularized porcine pericardium. The hemocompatibility of the innovative material has been preliminarily assessed by measuring its capacity to promote thrombin generation and induce platelet activation. Our results demonstrated the blood compatibility of the proposed hybrid membrane.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) continuously generated by healthy endothelium prevents platelet activation and maintains vascular homeostasis. However, when artificial surfaces, like of extracorporeal membrane oxygenator comes in contact with blood, protein adsorption and thereby platelet activation takes place, which eventually leads to thrombus formation. To overcome this, we present an antifouling microgel coating mimicking the function of enzyme glutathione peroxidase to endogenously generate NO in the blood plasma from endogenous NO-donors and maintain a physiological NO flux. Microgels are synthesized by copolymerization of highly hydrophilic N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) with diselenide crosslinks. For immobilization of the microgels on hydrophobic poly(4-methylpentene) (TPX) membranes bioengineered amphiphilic anchor peptides with free thiols are used. The anchor peptide attaches to the TPX membranes by hydrophobic interactions while the free thiols are presented for crosslinking with the microgels. The hydrophilic nature of the microgel coating prevents protein adsorption while the reversible diselenide bridges make the microgels responsive to the reducing environment and lead to the formation of reactive selenols/selenolates. The generated selenols/selenolates provide an efficient and sustained NO-release from endogenous S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs) mimicking the enzymatic function of glutathione peroxidase. On exposure to the whole blood, the microgel coating inhibited platelet activation and prolonged the blood clotting time.

Abstract
Cardiovascular devices have been widely applied in the clinical treatment of cardiovascular diseases. However, poor hemocompatibility and slow endothelialization on their surface still exist. Numerous surface engineering strategies have mainly sought to modify the device surface through physical, chemical, and biological approaches to improve surface hemocompatibility and endothelialization. The alteration of physical characteristics and pattern topographies brings some hopeful outcomes and plays a notable role in this respect. The chemical and biological approaches can provide potential signs of success in the endothelialization of vascular device surfaces. They usually involve therapeutic drugs, specific peptides, adhesive proteins, antibodies, growth factors and nitric oxide (NO) donors. The gene engineering can enhance the proliferation, growth, and migration of vascular cells, thus boosting the endothelialization. In this review, the surface engineering strategies are highlighted and summarized to improve hemocompatibility and rapid endothelialization on the cardiovascular devices. The potential outlook is also briefly discussed to help guide endothelialization strategies and inspire further innovations. It is hoped that this review can assist with the surface engineering of cardiovascular devices and promote future advancements in this emerging research field.

Abstract
The highly diverse biological roles of nitric oxide (NO) in both physiological and pathophysiological processes have prompted great interest in the use of NO as a therapeutic agent in various biomedical applications. NO can exert either protective or deleterious effects depending on its concentration and the location where it is delivered or generated. This double-edged attribute, together with the short half-life of NO in biological systems, poses a major challenge to the realization of the full therapeutic potential of this molecule. Controlled release strategies show an admirable degree of precision with regard to the spatiotemporal dosing of NO but are disadvantaged by the finite NO deliverable payload. In turn, enzyme-prodrug therapy techniques afford enhanced deliverable payload but are troubled by the inherent low stability of natural enzymes, as well as the requirement to control pharmacokinetics for the exogenous prodrugs. The past decade has seen the advent of a new paradigm in controlled delivery of NO, namely localized bioconversion of the endogenous prodrugs of NO, specifically by enzyme mimics. These early developments are presented, successes of this strategy are highlighted, and possible future work on this avenue of research is critically discussed.

Abstract
Clot and thrombus formation on surfaces that come into contact with blood is still the most serious problem for blood contacting devices. Despite many years of continuous efforts in developing hemocompatible materials, it is still of great interest to develop multifunctional materials to enable vascular cell selectivity (to favor rapid endothelialization while inhibiting smooth muscle cell proliferation) and improve hemocompatibility. In addition, biomaterial-associated infections also cause the failure of biomedical implants and devices. However, it remains a challenging task to design materials that are multifunctional, since one of their functions will usually be compromised by the introduction of another function. In the present work, the gold substrate was first layer-by-layer (LbL) deposited with a multilayered polyelectrolyte film containing chitosan (positively charged) and a copolymer of sodium 4-vinylbenzenesulfonate (SS) and the "guest" adamantane monomer 1-adamantan-1-ylmethyl methacrylate (P(SS-co-Ada), negatively charged) via electro-static interactions, referred to as Au-LbL. The chitosan and P(SS-co-Ada) were intended to provide, respectively, resistance to bacteria and heparin-like properties. Then, "host" β-cyclodextrin derivatives bearing seven lysine ligands (CD-L) were immobilized on the Au-LbL surface by host-guest interactions between adamantane residues and CD-L, referred to as Au-LbL/CD-L. Finally, a versatile surface coating with fibrinolytic activity (lysis of nascent clots), vascular cell selectivity and antibacterial properties was developed.

Abstract
Biomaterials with excellent blood-compatibility are needed for applications in vascular replacement therapies, such as vascular grafts, heart valves and stents, and in extracorporeal devices such as hemodialysis machines and blood-storage bags. The modification of materials that are being used for blood-contacting devices has advanced from passive surface modifications to the design of more complex, smart biomaterials that respond to relevant stimuli from blood to counteract coagulation. Logically, the main source of inspiration for the design of new biomaterials has been the endogenous endothelium. Endothelial regulation of hemostasis is complex and involves a delicate interplay of structural components and feedback mechanisms. Thus, challenges to develop new strategies for blood-compatible biomaterials now lie in incorporating true feedback controlled mechanisms that can regulate blood compatibility in a dynamic way. Here, supramolecular material systems are highlighted as they provide a promising platform to introduce dynamic reciprocity, due to their inherent dynamic nature.
