Surface modification and endothelialization of vascular biomaterials are common
approaches that are used to both resist the nonspecific adhesion of proteins and improve …

When blood first encounters the artificial surface of a medical device, a complex series of
biochemical reactions is triggered, potentially resulting in clinical complications such as …

Methylcellulose (MC) is an attractive material used to produce thermo-responsive hydrogels.
They undergo sol-gel transition when a critical temperature is reached, thus modifying their …

Surface modification by conjugating biomolecules has been widely proved to enhance
biocompatibility of small-caliber artificial vascular grafts. In this study, we aimed at …

In this paper, we provide a highly efficient, convenient and universal protocol for blood-
compatible modification of polyethersulfone (PES) membranes via in situ cross-linked …

Synthetic polymers, particularly polyurethanes (PUs), have revolutionized bioengineering
and biomedical devices due to their customizable mechanical properties and long-term …

While surface modification is well suited for imparting biomaterials with specific functionality
for favorable cell interactions, the modification of degradable polymers would be expected to …

Gelatin contains many functional motifs which can modulate cell specific adhesion, so we
modified polycarbonate urethane (PCU) scaffold surface by immobilization of gelatin. PCU-g …

Background Gene therapy has been developed and used in medical treatment for many
years, especially for the enhancement of endothelialization and angiogenesis. But slow …

Nowadays, gene transfer technology has been widely used to promote endothelialization of
artificial vascular grafts. However, the lack of gene vectors with low cytotoxicity and targeting …
