Abstract
New horizons in cardiovascular research are opened by using 3D printing for biodegradable implants. This additive manufacturing approach allows the design and fabrication of complex structures according to the patient's imaging data in an accurate, reproducible, cost-effective, and quick manner. Acellular cardiovascular implants produced from biodegradable materials have the potential to provide enough support for in situ tissue regeneration while gradually being replaced by neo-autologous tissue. Subsequently, they have the potential to prevent long-term complications. In this Review, we discuss the current status of 3D printing applications in the development of biodegradable cardiovascular implants with a focus on design, biomaterial selection, fabrication methods, and advantages of implantable controlled release systems. Moreover, we delve into the intricate challenges that accompany the clinical translation of these groundbreaking innovations, presenting a glimpse of potential solutions poised to enable the realization of these technologies in the realm of cardiovascular medicine.

Abstract
Hemocompatibility is the most significant criterion for blood-contacting materials in successful in vivo applications. Prior to the clinical tests, in vitro analyses must be performed on the biomaterial surfaces in accordance with the ISO 10993-4 standards. Designing a bio-functional material requires engineering the surface structure and chemistry, which significantly influence the blood cell activity according to earlier studies. In this study, we elucidate the role of surface terminations and polymorphs of SiC single crystals in the initial stage of the contact coagulation. We present a detailed analysis of phase, roughness, surface potential, wettability, consequently, reveal their effect on cytotoxicity and hemocompatibility by employing live/dead stainings, live cell imaging, ELISA and Micro BCA protein assay. Our results showed that the surface potential and the wettability strongly depend on the crystallographic polymorph as well as the surface termination. We show, for the first time, the key role of SiC surface termination on platelet activation. This dependency is in good agreement with the results of our in vitro analysis and points out the prominence of cellular anisotropy. We anticipate that our experimental findings bridge the surface properties to the cellular activities, and therefore, pave the way for tailoring advanced hemocompatible surfaces.

Curr Drug Deliv 2023; 20:261-280. [PMID: 35570560 DOI: 10.2174/1567201819666220513092020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Revised: 01/31/2022] [Accepted: 02/04/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To obtain safe and qualified blood products (e.g., platelets, plasma, and red blood cells), various limitations such as limited shelf life (especially for platelets) and stability must be addressed. In this review study, the most commonly used metal nanomaterials (e.g., gold, silver, iron, and magnetic) reported in the literature from 2011 to 2021 were discussed owing to their unique properties, which provide exciting approaches to overcome these limitations and improve the stability, safety, and quality of blood products. Novelty: This study reviews for the first time the results of studies (from 2011 to 2021) that consider the effects of various metallic nanoparticles on the different blood products. RESULTS The results of this review study showed that some metallic nanoparticles are effective in improving the stability of plasma proteins. For this purpose, modified Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles and citrate-AuNPs protect albumin products against stressful situations. Also, SiO2 microspheres and silicacoated magnetite nanoparticles are highly capable of improving IgG stability. ZnO nanoparticles also reduced thrombin production, and protein-coated GMNP nanoparticles prevented unwanted leakage of factor VIII through blood vessels. Furthermore, the stability and longevity of erythrocytes can be improved by AuNP nanoparticles and Zr-based organic nanoparticles. In addition, platelet storage time can be improved using PEGylated Au and functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles. SUGGESTION According to the results of this study, it is suggested that further research should be conducted on metal nanoparticles as the most promising candidates to prepare metal nanoparticles with improved properties to increase the stability of various blood products.

Abstract
The anticoagulation treatment of cardiovascular patients, which is mandatory after implantation of heart valves or stents, has significantly adverse effects on life quality. This treatment can be reduced or even circumvented by developing novel antithrombogenic surfaces of blood-contacting implants. Thus, we aim to discover materials exhibiting outstanding hemocompatibility compared to other available synthetic materials. We present promising surficial characteristics of single crystalline alumina in terms of platelet activation inhibition. In order to elucidate the relation between its crystallographic properties including the plane orientation and blood cell behavior, we examined endothelialization, cytocompatibility, and platelet activation at the blood-alumina interfaces in a controlled experimental setup. We observed that the cell response is highly sensitive to the plane orientation and differs significantly for (0001) and (11-20) planes of Al2O3. Our results reveal for the first time the dependence of platelet activation on crystallographic orientation, which is assumed to be a critical condition controlling the thrombogenicity. Additionally, we used an endothelial cell monolayer as an internal control since endothelial cells have an impact on vessel integrity and implant acceptance. We successfully demonstrate that Al2O3(11-20) exhibits enhanced hemocompatibility in contrast to Al2O3(0001) and is comparable to the physiological endothelial monolayer in vitro.
