Abstract
A polymer microarray based on the supramolecular ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) moiety is fabricated to screen antimicrobial materials for their ability to support cell adhesion. UPy-functionalized additives, either cell-adhesive, antimicrobial or control peptides, are used, and investigated in different combinations at different concentrations, resulting in a library of 194 spots. These are characterized on composition and morphology to evaluate the microarray fabrication. Normal human dermal fibroblasts are cultured on the microarrays and cell adhesion to the spots is systematically analyzed. Results demonstrate enhanced cell adhesion on spots with combinations including the antimicrobial peptides. This study clearly proves the power of the high throughput approach in combination with supramolecular molecules, to screen additive libraries for desired biological response.

Abstract
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is an artificial polymer with good biocompatibility and a low cost, which has a wide range of applications. In this study, the dynamic response of PEG single chains to different ion concentrations was investigated from a microscopic point of view based on single-molecule force spectroscopy, revealing unique interactions that go beyond the traditional sensor-design paradigm. Under low concentrations of potassium chloride, PEG single chains exhibit a gradual reduction in rigidity, while, conversely, high concentrations induce a progressive increase in rigidity. This dichotomy serves as the cornerstone for a profound understanding of PEG conformational dynamics under diverse ion environments. Capitalizing on the remarkable sensitivity of PEG single chains to ion concentration shifts, we introduce innovative sensor-design ideas. Rooted in the adaptive nature of PEG single chains, these sensor designs extend beyond the traditional applications, promising advancements in environmental monitoring, healthcare, and materials science.

Abstract
Fibrosis of implants remains a significant challenge in the use of biomedical devices and tissue engineering materials. Antifouling coatings, including synthetic zwitterionic coatings, have been developed to prevent fouling and cell adhesion to several implantable biomaterials. While many of these coatings need covalent attachment, a conceptually simpler approach is to use a spontaneous self-assembly event to anchor the coating to a surface. This could simplify material processing through highly specific molecular recognition. Herein, we investigate the ability to utilize directional supramolecular interactions to anchor an antifouling coating to a polymer surface containing a complementary supramolecular unit. A library of controlled copolymerization of ureidopyrimidinone methacrylate (UPyMA) and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) was prepared and their UPy composition was assessed. The MPC-UPy copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and found to exhibit similar mol % of UPy as compared to feed ratios and low dispersities. The copolymers were then coated on an UPy elastomer and the surfaces were assessed for hydrophilicity, protein absorption, and cell adhesion. By challenging the coatings, we found that the antifouling properties of the MPC-UPy copolymers with more UPy mol % lasted longer than the MPC homopolymer or low UPy mol % copolymers. As a result, the bioantifouling nature could be tuned to exhibit spatio-temporal control, namely, the longevity of a coating increased with UPy composition. In addition, these coatings showed nontoxicity and biocompatibility, indicating their potential use in biomaterials as antifouling coatings. Surface modification employing supramolecular interactions provided an approach that merges the simplicity and scalability of nonspecific coating methodology with the specific anchoring capacity found when using conventional covalent grafting with longevity that could be engineered by the supramolecular composition itself.

Abstract
Antifouling and antibacterial surfaces that can prevent nonspecific biological adhesion are important to support a myriad of biomedical applications. In this study, we have used an innovative photopolymerization technology to develop sulfur-containing polymer-grafted antifouling and antibacterial surfaces. The relationship between the hydrophilic property and the capability to resist protein and macrophage adsorption of the surface copolymer brushes was investigated. The sulfide monomer incorporated into the surface copolymer brushes can be further ionized to carry positive charges and impart antibacterial activity, leading to surfaces with dual antifouling and antibacterial functions. We believe that the reported sulfur-containing polymer brushes can be considered an emerging and important polymer for antifouling and antibacterial applications.

Abstract
Here we report the design of a superfast bioorthogonal ligation reactant pair comprising a sterically shielded, sulfonated tetrazole and bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-yn-9-ylmethanol (BCN). The design involves placing a pair of water-soluble N-sulfonylpyrrole substituents at the C-phenyl ring of diphenyltetrazoles to favor the photoinduced cycloaddition reaction over the competing nucleophilic additions. First-principles computations provide vital insights into the origin of the tetrazole-BCN cycloaddition's superior kinetics compared to the tetrazole-spirohexene cycloaddition. The tetrazole-BCN cycloaddition also enabled rapid bioorthogonal labeling of glucagon receptors on live cells in as little as 15 s.

Abstract
Nonspecific protein adsorption impedes the sustainability of materials in biologically related applications. Such adsorption activates the immune system by quick identification of allogeneic materials and triggers a rejection, resulting in the rapid failure of implant materials and drugs. Antifouling materials have been rapidly developed in the past 20 years, from natural polysaccharides (such as dextran) to synthetic polymers (such as polyethylene glycol, PEG). However, recent studies have shown that traditional antifouling materials, including PEG, still fail to overcome the challenges of a complex human environment. Zwitterionic materials are a class of materials that contain both cationic and anionic groups, with their overall charge being neutral. Compared with PEG materials, zwitterionic materials have much stronger hydration, which is considered the most important factor for antifouling. Among zwitterionic materials, zwitterionic hydrogels have excellent structural stability and controllable regulation capabilities for various biomedical scenarios. Here, we first describe the mechanism and structure of zwitterionic materials. Following the preparation and property of zwitterionic hydrogels, recent advances in zwitterionic hydrogels in various biomedical applications are reviewed.

Abstract
Herein we report the coating of visible light-driven polycaprolactone (PCL) based micromotors with an anti-biofouling poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) layer for effective navigation and detoxification in blood samples. The micromotors encapsulate CdSe@ZnS quantum dots as photoresponsive materials and a Fe3O4 nanoparticle patch to promote electron transfer and reaction with glucose present in the media for diffusiophoretic propulsion in diluted blood. The coating of the micromotor with the PLGA layer prevents red blood cell adhesion and protein adsorption due to the creation of a highly efficient hydration layer. This results in an enhanced speed and efficient operation for enhanced toxin removal as compared with the bare PCL micromotors. Hemolysis and MTT assays along with no platelets aggregation revealed the high biocompatibility of the micromotors with living cells. Effective adsorptive removal of two relevant toxins, sepsis associated Escherichia coli O111:B4 toxin and snake venom α-bungarotoxin from blood is achieved with the PLGA micromotors. The new developments illustrated here represent one step forward in the use of light-driven micromotors for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Supramolecular motifs in elastomeric biomaterials facilitate the modular incorporation of additives with corresponding motifs. The influence of the elastomeric supramolecular base polymer on the presentation of additives has been sparsely examined, limiting the knowledge of transferability of effective functionalization between polymers. Here it was investigated if the polymer backbone and the additive influence biomaterial modification in two different types of hydrogen bonding supramolecular systems, that is, based on ureido-pyrimidinone or bis-urea units. Two different cell-adhesive additives, that is, catechol or cyclic RGD, were incorporated into different elastomeric polymers, that is, polycaprolactone, priplast or polycarbonate. The additive effectiveness was evaluated with three different cell types. AFM measurements showed modest alterations on nano-scale assembly in ureido-pyrimidinone materials modified with additives. On the contrary, additive addition was highly intrusive in bis-urea materials. Detailed cell adhesive studies revealed additive effectiveness varied between base polymers and the supramolecular platform, with bis-urea materials more potently affecting cell behavior. This research highlights that additive transposition might not always be as evident. Therefore, additive effectiveness requires re-evaluation in supramolecular biomaterials when altering the polymer backbone to suit the biomaterial application.

Abstract
Uncontrolled protein adsorption and cell binding to biomaterial surfaces may lead to degradation, implant failure, infection, and deleterious inflammatory and immune responses. The accurate characterization of biofouling is therefore crucial for the optimization of biomaterials and devices that interface with complex biological environments composed of macromolecules, fluids, and cells. Currently, a diverse array of experimental conditions and characterization techniques are utilized, making it difficult to compare reported fouling values between similar or different biomaterials. This review aims to help scientists and engineers appreciate current limitations and conduct fouling experiments to facilitate the comparison of reported values and expedite the development of low-fouling materials. Recent advancements in the understanding of protein-interface interactions and fouling variability due to experiment conditions will be highlighted to discuss protein adsorption and cell adhesion and activation on biomaterial surfaces.

Abstract
Different forms of unmodified and modified Poly(ethylene glycols) (PEGs) are widely used as antifouling and antibacterial agents for biomedical industries and Nylon 6 is one of the polymers used for biomedical textiles. Our recent study focused on an efficient approach to PEG immobilization on a reduced Nylon 6 surface via N,N'-disuccinimidyl carbonate (DSC) conjugation. The conversion of amide functional groups to secondary amines on the Nylon 6 polymer surface was achieved by the reducing agent borane-tetrahydrofuran (BH3-THF) complex, before binding the PEG. Various techniques, including water contact angle and free surface energy measurements, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, were used to confirm the desired surface immobilization. Our findings indicated that PEG may be efficiently tethered to the Nylon 6 surface via DSC, having an enormous future potential for antifouling biomedical materials. The bacterial adhesion performances against S. aureus and P. aeruginosa were examined. In vitro cytocompatibility was successfully tested on pure, reduced, and PEG immobilized samples.

Abstract
Cells are continuously sensing their microenvironment and subsequently respond to different physicochemical cues by the activation or inhibition of different signaling pathways. To study a very complex cellular response, it is necessary to diminish background environmental influences and highlight the particular event. However, surface-driven nonspecific interactions of the abundant biomolecules from the environment influence the targeted cell response significantly. Yes-associated protein (YAP) translocation may serve as a marker of human hepatocellular carcinoma (Huh7) cell responses to the extracellular matrix and surface-mediated stresses. Here, we propose a platform of tunable functionable antifouling poly(carboxybetain) (pCB)-based brushes to achieve a molecularly clean background for studying arginine, glycine, and aspartic acid (RGD)-induced YAP-connected mechanotransduction. Using two different sets of RGD-functionalized zwitterionic antifouling coatings with varying compositions of the antifouling layer, a clear correlation of YAP distribution with RGD functionalization concentrations was observed. On the other hand, commonly used surface passivation by the oligo(ethylene glycol)-based self-assembled monolayer (SAM) shows no potential to induce dependency of the YAP distribution on RGD concentrations. The results indicate that the antifouling background is a crucial component of surface-based cellular response studies, and pCB-based zwitterionic antifouling brush architectures may serve as a potential next-generation easily functionable surface platform for the monitoring and quantification of cellular processes.

Abstract
Environmentally responsive nanomaterials have been developed for drug delivery applications, in an effort to target and accumulate therapeutic agents at sites of disease. Within a biological system, these nanomaterials will experience diverse conditions which encompass a variety of solute identities and concentrations. In this study, we developed a new quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) assay, which enabled the quantitative analysis of nanogel swelling, protein adsorption, and biodegradation in a single experiment. As a proof of concept, we employed this assay to characterize non-degradable and biodegradable poly(acrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) nanogels. We compared the QCM-D results to those obtained by dynamic light scattering to highlight the advantages and limitations of each method. We detailed our protocol development and practical recommendations, and hope that this study will serve as a guide for others to design application-specific QCM-D assays within the nanomedicine domain.

Abstract
![]()
Surface-initiated controlled
radical polymerization is a popular technique for the modification
of biomaterials with, for example, antifouling polymers. Here, we
report on the functionalization of a supramolecular biomaterial with
zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) via atom transfer radical
polymerization from a macroinitiator additive, which is embedded in
the hard phase of the ureido-pyrimidinone-based material. Poly(sulfobetaine
methacrylate) was successfully polymerized from these surfaces, and
the polymerized sulfobetaine content, with corresponding antifouling
properties, depended on both the macroinitiator additive concentration
and polymerization time. Furthermore, the polymerization from the
macroinitiator additive was successfully translated to functional
electrospun scaffolds, showing the potential for this functionalization
strategy in supramolecular material systems.

Abstract
Biofouling, the accumulation of organisms on surfaces, can lead to several undesirable phenomena, including hospital-acquired infections, blockage of water purification systems, and food contamination. The solution to the problem should be nontoxic and environmentally friendly, so that it could be applied on different surfaces and could come into contact with food, water, or human tissues. Peptides can provide such a solution, since they are biocompatible and biodegradable materials that can resist biofouling, either by preventing the attachment of organisms to the surface (antifouling) or by killing the bacteria (antimicrobial activity). This paper presents an amphiphilic peptide with antifouling, antimicrobial, and adhesive properties. The peptide adheres to titanium surfaces and inhibits the adhesion of both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria to surfaces. In addition, it reduces the growth of bacteria in solution. This peptide has both antifouling and antimicrobial properties, which could be useful in health care systems, food packaging, and other systems that suffer from biocontamination.

Abstract
Ultra-low fouling and functionalizable coatings represent emerging surface platforms for various analytical and biomedical applications such as those involving examination of cellular interactions in their native environments. Ultra-low fouling surface platforms as advanced interfaces enabling modulation of behavior of living cells via tuning surface physicochemical properties are presented and studied. The state-of-art ultra-low fouling surface-grafted polymer brushes of zwitterionic poly(carboxybetaine acrylamide), nonionic poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide), and random copolymers of carboxybetaine methacrylamide (CBMAA) and HPMAA [p(CBMAA-co-HPMAA)] with tunable molar contents of CBMAA and HPMAA are employed. Using a model Huh7 cell line, a systematic study of surface wettability, swelling, and charge effects on the cell growth, shape, and cytoskeleton distribution is performed. This study reveals that ultra-low fouling interfaces with a high content of zwitterionic moieties (>65 mol%) modulate cell behavior in a distinctly different way compared to coatings with a high content of nonionic HPMAA. These differences are attributed mostly to the surface hydration capabilities. The results demonstrate a high potential of carboxybetaine-rich ultra-low fouling surfaces with high hydration capabilities and minimum background signal interferences to create next-generation bioresponsive interfaces for advanced studies of living objects.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) internalized within stem cells have paved the way for remote magnetic cell manipulation and imaging in regenerative medicine. A full understanding of their interactions with stem cells and of their fate in the intracellular environment is then required, in particular with respect to their surface coatings. Here, we investigated the biological interactions of MNPs composed of an identical magnetic core but coated with different molecules: phosphonoacetic acid, polyethylene glycol phosphonic carboxylic acid, caffeic acid, citric acid, and polyacrylic acid. These coatings vary in the nature of the chelating function, the number of binding sites, and the presence or absence of a polymer. The nanoparticle magnetism was systematically used as an indicator of their internalization within human stem cells and of their structural long-term biodegradation in a 3D stem cell spheroid model. Overall, we evidence that the coating impacts the aggregation status of the nanoparticles and subsequently their uptake within stem cells, but it has little effect on their intracellular degradation. Only a high number of chelating functions (polyacrylic acid) had a significant protective effect. Interestingly, when the nanoparticles aggregated prior to cellular internalization, less degradation was also observed. Finally, for all coatings, a robust dose-dependent intracellular degradation rate was demonstrated, with higher doses of internalized nanoparticles leading to a lower degradation extent.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry is an excellent method for functionalization of biomaterials with bioactive molecules, as it allows for decoupling of material processing and bioactivation. Here, we report on a modular system created by means of tetrazine/trans-cyclooctene (Tz/TCO) click chemistry undergoing an inverse electron demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition. A reactive supramolecular surface based on ureido-pyrimidinones (UPy) is generated via a UPy-Tz additive, in order to introduce a versatile TCO-protein G conjugate for immobilization of Fc-fusion proteins. As a model bioactive protein, we introduced Fc-Jagged1, a Notch ligand, to induce Notch signaling activity on the material. Interestingly, HEK293 FLN1 cells expressing the Notch1 receptor were repelled by films modified with TCO-protein G but adhered and spread on functionalized electrospun meshes. This indicates that the material processing method influences the biocompatibility of the postmodification. Notch signaling activity was upregulated 5.6-fold with respect to inactive controls on electrospun materials modified with TCO-protein G/Fc-Jagged1. Furthermore, downstream effects of Notch signaling were detected on the gene level in vascular smooth muscle cells expressing the Notch3 receptor. Taken together, our results demonstrate the successful use of a modular supramolecular system for the postprocessing modification of solid materials with functional proteins.

Abstract
We report the preparation of ultrathin coatings of zwitterionic block copolymer micelles and a comparison of their protein adsorption, adhesiveness, and antibacterial properties. Zwitterionic block copolymer micelles were obtained through pH-induced self-assembly of poly[3-dimethyl(methacryloyloxyethyl)ammonium propanesulfonate- b-2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (βPDMA- b-PDPA) at pH 7.5. βPDMA- b-PDPA micelles with zwitterionic βPDMA-corona and pH-responsive PDPA-core were then used as building blocks to prepare layer-by-layer (LbL) assembled multilayer films together with hyaluronic acid (HA), tannic acid (TA), or poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (PSS). Protein adsorption tests showed that 3-layer βPDMA- b-PDPA micelles/HA films were the most effective to reduce the adhesion of BSA, lysozyme, ferritin, and casein. In contrast, βPDMA- b-PDPA micelles/TA films were the most attractive surfaces for protein adsorption. Bacterial antiadhesive tests against a model Gram-negative bacterium, Escherichia coli, and a model Gram-positive bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus, were in good agreement with the protein adsorption properties of the films. The differences in the antiadhesive properties between these three different film systems are discussed within the context of chemical nature and the functional chemical groups of the polyanions, layer number, and surface morphology of the films. Multilayers were found to lose their antiadhesiveness in the long term. However, by taking advantage of the pH-responsive hydrophobic micellar cores, we show that an antibacterial agent could be loaded into the micelles and multilayers could exhibit antibacterial activity in the long term especially at moderately acidic conditions. In contrast to antiadhesive properties, no significant differences were recorded in the antibacterial properties between the different film types.

Abstract
Reactions in confined compartments like charged microdroplets are of increasing interest, notably because of their substantially increased reaction rates. When combined with ambient ionization mass spectrometry (MS), reactions in charged microdroplets can be used to improve the detection of analytes or to study the molecular details of the reactions in real time. Here, we introduce a reactive laser ablation electrospray ionization (reactive LAESI) time-resolved mass spectrometry (TRMS) method to perform and study reactions in charged microdroplets. We demonstrate this approach with a class of reactions new to reactive ambient ionization MS: so-called click chemistry reactions. Click reactions are high-yielding reactions with a high atom efficiency, and are currently drawing significant attention from fields ranging from bioconjugation to polymer modification. Although click reactions are typically at least moderately fast (time scale of minutes to a few hours), in a reactive LAESI approach a substantial increase of reaction time is required for these reactions to occur. This increase was achieved using microdroplet chemistry and followed by MS using the insertion of a reaction tube-up to 1 m in length-between the LAESI source and the MS inlet, leading to near complete conversions due to significantly extended microdroplet lifetime. This novel approach allowed for the collection of kinetic data for a model (strain-promoted) click reaction between a substituted tetrazine and a strained alkyne and showed in addition excellent instrument stability, improved sensitivity, and applicability to other click reactions. Finally, the methodology was also demonstrated in a mass spectrometry imaging setting to show its feasibility in future imaging experiments.

Abstract
Supramolecular polymers exemplify the need to employ several computational techniques to study processes and phenomena occuring at varied length and time scales. Electronic processes, conformational and configurational excitations of small aggregates of chromophoric molecules, solvent effects under realistic thermodynamic conditions and mesoscale morphologies are some of the challenges which demand hierarchical modelling approaches. This review focusses on one-dimensional supramolecular polymers, the mechanism of self-assembly of monomers in polar and non-polar solvents and properties they exhibit. Directions for future work are as well outlined.

Abstract
The most striking and general property of the biological fibrous architectures in the extracellular matrix (ECM) is the strong and directional interaction between biologically active protein subunits. These fibers display rich dynamic behavior without losing their architectural integrity. The complexity of the ECM taking care of many essential properties has inspired synthetic chemists to mimic these properties in artificial one-dimensional fibrous structures with the aim to arrive at multi-component biomaterials. Due to the dynamic character required for interaction with natural tissue, supramolecular biomaterials are promising candidates for regenerative medicine. Depending on the application area, and thereby the design criteria of these multi-component fibrous biomaterials, they are used as elastomeric materials or hydrogel systems. Elastomeric materials are designed to have load bearing properties whereas hydrogels are proposed to support in vitro cell culture. Although the chemical structures and systems designed and studied today are rather simple compared to the complexity of the ECM, the first examples of these functional supramolecular biomaterials reaching the clinic have been reported. The basic concept of many of these supramolecular biomaterials is based on their ability to adapt to cell behavior as a result of dynamic non-covalent interactions. In this review, we show the translation of one-dimensional supramolecular polymers into multi-component functional biomaterials for regenerative medicine applications.
