Abstract
The surface engineering of biomaterials is crucial for their successful (bio)integration by the body, i.e. the colonization by the tissue-specific cell, and the prevention of fibrosis and/or bacterial colonization. Performed at room temperature in an aqueous medium, the layer-by-layer (LbL) coating method is based on the alternating deposition of macromolecules. Versatile and simple, this method allows the functionalization of surfaces with proteins, which play a crucial role in several biological mechanisms. Possessing intrinsic properties (cell adhesion, antibacterial, degradable, etc.), protein-based LbL films represent a powerful tool to control bacterial and mammalian cell fate. In this article, after a general introduction to the LbL technique, we will focus on protein-based LbL films addressing different biomedical issues/domains, such as bacterial infection, blood contacting surfaces, mammalian cell adhesion, drug and gene delivery, and bone and neural tissue engineering. We do not consider biosensing applications or electrochemical aspects using specific proteins such as enzymes.

Abstract
Implant-associated severe infections can result in catastrophic implant failures; thus, advanced antibacterial coatings are needed to combat infections. This study focuses on harnessing nature-inspired self-assembly of extracellular matrix (ECM)-like coatings on Ti alloy with a combination of jellyfish-derived collagen (J-COLL) and hyaluronic acid (HA) using our customized automated hybrid layer-by-layer apparatus. To improve the anti-infection efficacy of coatings, we have incorporated a natural antibacterial agent methylglyoxal (MGO, a Manuka honey compound) in optimized multilayer coatings. The obtainment of MGO-loaded multilayer coatings was successfully assessed by profilometry, contact angle, attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. In vitro degradation confirmed the controlled release activity of MGO with a range of concentrations from 0.90 to 2.38 mM up to 21 days. A bacterial cell culture study using Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) confirmed that the MGO incorporated within layers 7 and 9 had a favorable effect on preventing bacterial growth and colonization on their surfaces. An in vitro cytocompatibility study confirmed that MGO agents included in the layers did not affect or reduce the cellular functionalities of L929 fibroblasts. In addition, MGO-loaded layers with Immortalized Mesenchymal Stem Cells (Y201 TERT-hMSCs) were found to favor the growth and differentiation of Y201 cells and promote calcium nodule formation. Overall, these surface coatings are promising candidates for delivering antimicrobial activity with bone-inducing functions for future bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, various bioactive material-based scaffolds were investigated and researchers across the globe are actively involved in establishing a potential state-of-the-art for bone tissue engineering applications, wherein several disciplines like clinical medicine, materials science, and biotechnology are involved. The present review article's main aim is to focus on repairing and restoring bone tissue defects by enhancing the bioactivity of fabricated bone tissue scaffolds and providing a suitable microenvironment for the bone cells to fasten the healing process. It deals with the various surface modification strategies and smart composite materials development that are involved in the treatment of bone tissue defects. Orthopaedic researchers and clinicians constantly focus on developing strategies that can naturally imitate not only the bone tissue architecture but also its functional properties to modulate cellular behaviour to facilitate bridging, callus formation and osteogenesis at critical bone defects. This review summarizes the currently available polymeric composite matrices and the methods to improve their bioactivity for bone tissue regeneration effectively.

Abstract
The layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly technique has shown excellent potential in tissue engineering applications. The technique is mainly based on electrostatic attraction and involves the sequential adsorption of oppositely charged electrolyte complexes onto a substrate, resulting in uniform single layers that can be rapidly deposited to form nanolayer films. LbL has attracted significant attention as a coating technique due to it being a convenient and affordable fabrication method capable of achieving a wide range of biomaterial coatings while keeping the main biofunctionality of the substrate materials. One promising application is the use of nanolayer films fabricated by LbL assembly in the development of 3-dimensional (3D) bone scaffolds for bone repair and regeneration. Due to their versatility, nanoscale films offer an exciting opportunity for tailoring surface and bulk property modification of implants for osseous defect therapies. This review article discusses the state of the art of the LbL assembly technique, and the properties and functions of LbL-assembled films for engineered bone scaffold application, combination of multilayers for multifunctional coatings and recent advancements in the application of LbL assembly in bone tissue engineering. The recent decade has seen tremendous advances in the promising developments of LbL film systems and their impact on cell interaction and tissue repair. A deep understanding of the cell behaviour and biomaterial interaction for the further development of new generations of LbL films for tissue engineering are the most important targets for biomaterial research in the field. While there is still much to learn about the biological and physicochemical interactions at the interface of nano-surface coated scaffolds and biological systems, we provide a conceptual review to further progress in the LbL approach to 3D bone scaffold materials and inform the future of LbL development in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The development of three-dimensional environments to mimic the in vivo cellular response is a problem in the building of disease models. This study aimed to synthesize and validate three-dimensional support for culturing monoclonal plasma cells (mPCs) as a disease model for multiple myeloma. The three-dimensional environment is a biomimetic microgel formed by alginate microspheres and produced on a microfluidic device whose surface has been functionalized by a layer-by-layer process with components of the bone marrow’s extracellular matrix, which will interact with mPC. As a proof of concept, RPMI 8226 cell line cells were cultured in our 3D culture platform. We proved that hyaluronic acid significantly increased cell proliferation and corroborated its role in inducing resistance to dexamethasone. Despite collagen type I having no effect on proliferation, it generated significant resistance to dexamethasone. Additionally, it was evidenced that both biomolecules were unable to induce resistance to bortezomib. These results validate the functionalized microgels as a 3D culture system that emulates the interaction between tumoral cells and the bone marrow extracellular matrix. This 3D environment could be a valuable culture system to test antitumoral drugs efficiency in multiple myeloma.

Abstract
Collagen, a central component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), has been widely applied in tissue engineering, among others, for wound healing or bone and nerve regeneration. However, the inherent thrombogenic properties of collagen hinder the application in blood-contacting devices. Herein, a brand-new recombinant human type III collagen (hCOLIII) was explored that does not present binding sites for platelets while retaining the affinity for endothelial cells. The hCOLIII together with hyaluronic acid (HA) were deposited on the substrates via layer-by-layer assembly to form an ECM-mimetic multilayer coating. In vitro platelet adhesion and ex vivo blood circulation tests demonstrated prominent thromboprotective properties for the hCOLIII-based ECM-mimetic coating. In addition, the coating effectively guided the vascular cell fate by supporting the proliferation of endothelial cells and inhibiting the proliferation of smooth muscle cells by differentiating them to a more contractile phenotype. A polylactic acid (PLA) stent coated with hCOLIII-based ECM-mimetic coating was implanted in the abdominal aorta of rabbits to investigate the healing of the neointima. The enhanced endothelialization, suppressed inflammatory response, inhibition of excessive neointimal hyperplasia, and the superior thromboprotection strongly indicated the prospect of the hCOLIII-based ECM-mimetic coating as a tailored blood-contacting material for cardiovascular stents.

Abstract
Natural polymers are of great interest in the biomedical field due to their intrinsic properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity. Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of natural polymers is a versatile, simple, efficient, reproducible, and flexible bottom-up technique for the development of nanostructured materials in a controlled manner. The multiple morphological and structural advantages of LbL compared to traditional coating methods (i.e., precise control over the thickness and compositions at the nanoscale, simplicity, versatility, suitability, and flexibility to coat surfaces with irregular shapes and sizes), make LbL one of the most useful techniques for building up advanced multilayer polymer structures for application in several fields, e.g., biomedicine, energy, and optics. This review article collects the main advances concerning multilayer assembly of natural polymers employing the most used LbL techniques (i.e., dipping, spray, and spin coating) leading to multilayer polymer structures and the influence of several variables (i.e., pH, molar mass, and method of preparation) in this LbL assembly process. Finally, the employment of these multilayer biopolymer films as platforms for tissue engineering, drug delivery, and thermal therapies will be discussed.

Abstract
Poly(L-lactic) acid (PLLA) has been widely employed in tissue engineering due to its mechanical properties, biodegradability and biocompatibility. The layer-by-layer (LbL) technique was here proposed as a simple method to impart bioactivity to the surface of PLLA substrates. Aminolysis treatment was applied to introduce amino groups on the surface of PLLA solvent cast films. Then, PLLA films were coated with heparin (HE)/chitosan (CH) multilayer by the LbL technique. Each functionalization step was characterized through physico-chemical and morphological analyses. Aminolysis treatment increased film surface wettability (64.8° ± 2.4° against 74.6° ± 1.3° for untreated PLLA) due to the formation of surface amino groups, which were quantified by acid orange colorimetric assay (0.05 nmol/mm2). After the deposition of 9 layers, the static contact angle varied between values close to 40° C (HE-based layer) and 60 °C (CH-based layer), showing the typical alternate trend of LbL coating. The successful HE/CH deposition was confirmed by ATR-FTIR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses. Particularly, XPS spectra of coated samples showed the presence of nitrogen (indicative of HE and CH deposition), and sulfur (indicative of HE deposition). The amount of deposited HE was quantified by Taylor's Blue colorimetric method: after the deposition of 19 and 20 layers the HE concentration was around 33 µg/cm2. Finally, in vitro studies performed using HaCaT immortalized human skin keratinocytes, C2C12 immortalized mouse myoblasts and human fibroblasts demonstrated that HE/CH multilayer-coated PLLA is a promising substrate for soft tissue engineering, as cell response may be modulated by changing the surface chemical properties.

Abstract
Poly-(lactide-co-glycolide acid) (PLGA) has been widely investigated as scaffold material for bone tissue engineering owing to its biosafety, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. However, the bioinert surface of PLGA may fail in regulating cellular behavior and directing osteointegration between the scaffold and the host tissue. In this article, oxidized chondroitin sulfate (oCS) and type I collagen (Col I) were assembled onto PLGA surface via layer by layer technique (LbL) as an adhesive coating for the attachment of inorganic minerals. The multilayer-modified PLGA scaffold was mineralized in vitro to ensure the deposition of nanohydroxyapatite (nHAP). It was found that nHAP crystals were more uniformly and firmly attached on the multilayer-modified PLGA as compared with the pure PLGA scaffold, which remarkably improved PLGA surface and mechanical properties. Additionally, in vitro biocompatibility of PLGA scaffold, in terms of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) attachment, spreading and proliferation was greatly enhanced by nHAP coating and multilayer deposition. Furthermore, the fabricated composite scaffold also shows the ability to promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through the up-regulation of osteogenic marker genes. Thus, this novel biomimetic composite scaffold might achieve a desirable therapeutic result for bone tissue regeneration. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
This paper presents a new approach in assembling bone extracellular matrix components onto PLA films, and investigates the most favourable environment which can be created using the technique for cell-material interactions. Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) films were chemically modified by covalently binding the poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) as to prepare the substrate for immobilization of polyelectrolyte multilayers (PEMs) coating. Negatively charged polyelectrolyte consists of well-dispersed silicon-carbonated hydroxyapatite (SiCHA) nanopowders in hyaluronic acid (Hya) was deposited onto the modified PLA films followed by SiCHA in collagen type I as the positively charged polyelectrolyte. The outermost layer was finally cross-linked by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrocholoride and N-hydroxysulfosuccinimide sodium salt (EDC/NHS) solutions. The physicochemical features of the coated PLA films were monitored via X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The amounts of calcium and collagen deposited on the surface were qualitatively and quantitatively determined. The surface characterizations suggested that 5-BL has the optimum surface roughness and highest amounts of calcium and collagen depositions among tested films. In vitro human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) cultured on the coated PLA films confirmed that the coating materials greatly improved cell attachment and survival compared to unmodified PLA films. The cell viability, cell proliferation and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) expression on 5-BL were found to be the most favourable of the tested films. Hence, this newly developed coating materials assembly could contribute to the improvement of the bioactivity of polymeric materials and structures aimed to bone tissue engineering applications.

Zhang K, Zheng H, Liang S, Gao C. Aligned PLLA nanofibrous scaffolds coated with graphene oxide for promoting neural cell growth. Acta Biomater 2016; 37:131-42. [PMID: 27063493 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2016.04.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 163] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2015] [Revised: 04/02/2016] [Accepted: 04/06/2016] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
UNLABELLED The graphene oxide (GO) has attracted tremendous attention in biomedical fields. In order to combine the unique physicochemical properties of GO nanosheets with topological structure of aligned nanofibrous scaffolds for nerve regeneration, the GO nanosheets were coated onto aligned and aminolyzed poly-l-lactide (PLLA) nanofibrous scaffolds. Scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) revealed that the surface of aligned PLLA nanofibers after being coated with GO became rougher than those of the aligned PLLA and aminolyzed PLLA nanofibrous scaffolds. The GO nanosheets did not destroy the alignment of nanofibers. The characterizations of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and water contact angle displayed that the aligned PLLA nanofibrous scaffolds were introduced with hydrophilic groups such as NH2, COOH, and OH after aminolysis and GO nanosheets coating, showing better hydrophilicity. The GO-coated and aligned PLLA nanofibrous scaffolds significantly promoted Schwann cells (SCs) proliferation with directed cytoskeleton along the nanofibers compared with the aligned PLLA and aminolyzed PLLA nanofibrous scaffolds. These scaffolds also greatly improved the proliferation of rat pheochromocytoma 12 (PC12) cells, and significantly promoted their differentiation and neurite growth along the nanofibrous alignment in the presence of nerve growth factor (NGF). This type of scaffolds with nanofibrous surface topography and GO nanosheets is expected to show better performance in nerve regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Recovery of damaged nerve functions remains a principal clinical challenge in spite of surgical intervention and entubulation. The use of aligned fibrous scaffolds provides suitable microenvironment for nerve cell attachment, proliferation and migration, enhancing the regeneration outcome of nerve tissue. Surface modification is generally required for the synthetic polymeric fibers by laminin, fibronectin and YIGSR peptides to stimulate specific cell functions and neurite outgrowth. Yet these proteins or peptides present the poor processibility, limited availability, and high cost, influencing their application in clinic. In this work, we combined GO nanosheets and topological structure of aligned nanofibrous scaffolds to direct cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation, and to induce neurite outgrowth for nerve regeneration. The GO coating improved several biomedical properties of the aligned PLLA nanofibrous scaffolds including surface roughness, hydrophilicity and promotion of cells/material interactions, which significantly promoted SCs growth and regulated cell orientation, and induced PC12 cells differentiation and neurite growth. The design of this type of structure is of both scientific and technical importance, and possesses broad interest in the fields of biomaterials, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Controlling cell adhesion using layer-by-layer approaches for biomedical applications. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2016; 70:1163-1175.

Abstract
Controlling the adhesion of mammalian and bacterial cells at the interfaces between synthetic materials and biological environments is a real challenge in the biomedical fields such as tissue engineering, antibacterial coating, implantable biomaterials and biosensors. The surface properties of materials are known to profoundly influence the adhesion processes. To mediate the adhesion processes, polymeric coatings have been used to functionalize surfaces to introduce diverse physicochemical properties. The polyelectrolyte multilayer films built via the layer-by-layer (LbL) method, introduced by Moehwald, Decher, and Lvov 20years ago, has led to significant developments ranging from the fundamental understanding of cellular processes to controlling cell adhesion for biomedical applications. In this review, we focus our attention on the modification of surface physicochemical properties, using the LbL approach, to construct films which can either promote or inhibit mammalian/bacterial cell adhesion. We also discuss the emerging field of multifunctional surfaces capable of responding to specific cellular activity but being inert to the others.

Abstract
In the past two decades, the design and manufacture of nanostructured materials has been of tremendous interest to the scientific community for their application in the biomedical field. Among the available techniques, layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly has attracted considerable attention as a convenient method to fabricate functional coatings. Nowadays, more than 1000 scientific papers are published every year, tens of patents have been deposited and some commercial products based on LBL technology have become commercially available. LBL presents several advantages, such as (1): a precise control of the coating properties; (2) environmentally friendly, mild conditions and low-cost manufacturing; (3) versatility for coating all available surfaces; (4) obtainment of homogeneous film with controlled thickness; and (5) incorporation and controlled release of biomolecules/drugs. This paper critically reviews the scientific challenge of the last 10 years--functionalizing biomaterials by LBL to obtain appropriate properties for biomedical applications, in particular in tissue engineering (TE). The analysis of the state-of-the-art highlights the current techniques and the innovative materials for scaffold and medical device preparation that are opening the way for the preparation of LBL-functionalized substrates capable of modifying their surface properties for modulating cell interaction to improve substitution, repair or enhancement of tissue function.
