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

Blood-contacting surfaces of cardiovascular devices are not biocompatible for creating an
endothelial layer on them. Numerous research studies have mainly sought to modify these …

Massive bleeding control and anti-infection are the major challenges for urgent trauma with
deep and noncompressible hemorrhage in both clinic and battlefield. Inspired by the …

Chondroitin sulfate (CS), a natural anionic mucopolysaccharide, belonging to the
glycosaminoglycan family, acts as the primary element of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of …

The development of blood-compatible materials represents a grand challenge in
biomaterials science. Blood is a complex fluid containing many types of living cells …

We describe an enzymatically formed chondroitin sulfate (CS) and poly (ethylene
glycol)(PEG) based hybrid hydrogel system, which by tuning the architecture and …

Endothelial cell (EC) models have evolved as important tools in biomaterial research due to
ubiquitously occurring interactions between implanted materials and the endothelium …

The molecular weights (MWs) of hyaluronic acid (HA) in extracellular matrix secreted from
both vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play …

Porcine glutaraldehyde-fixed pericardium is widely used to replace human heart valves.
Despite the stabilizing effects of glutaraldehyde fixation, the lack of endothelialization and …

Cardiovascular diseases are considered as one of the serious diseases that leads to the
death of millions of people all over the world. Stent implantation has been approved as an …
