Thin film nitinol has unique mechanical properties (eg, superelasticity), excellent
biocompatibility, and ultra-smooth surface, as well as shape memory behavior. All these …

To improve the blood compatibility and endothelialization simultaneously and to ensure the
long-term effectiveness of the cardiovascular implants, we developed a surface modification …

Micro-patterning as an effective bio-modification technique is increasingly used in the
development of biomaterials with superior mechanical and biological properties. However …

Both coverage and morphology of endothelial cells (ECs) on blood contact biomaterials
were involved in the antithrombotic and anti-proliferative process. However, most …

Amyloid-like fibrils are garnering keen interest in biotechnology as supramolecular
nanofunctional units to be used as biomimetic platforms to control cell behavior. Recent …

The rapid evolution of clinical medicine, materials science, and regenerative medicine has
rendered traditional implantable scaffolds inadequate for addressing the complex …

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is limited by the complicated anatomy of an
aortic arch. This study proposed a new stent-graft (SG) design with slits that can positively …

The morphology of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in the normal physiological state
depends on cytoskeletal distribution and topology beneath, and presents vertical to the …

Coimmobilization as a versatile biomodification technique has been widely used in the
development of biomimetic materials with superior mechanical and biological properties. In …

Because of its low profile and biologically inert behavior, thin film nitinol (TFN) is ideally
suited for use in construction of endovascular devices. We have developed a surface …
