Hemocompatible polymer thin films fabricated by Electrostatic Self-Assembly (ESA)
… studies suggested the ESA films were potentially hemocompatible.

Adsorption of Blood Proteins onto Polysaccharide Surfaces
… aims to provide insight into the design of novel hemocompatible polysaccharide materials. Information such as real-time adsorption curves, adsorbed amounts, and water contents of the protein layers were obtained and analyzed. The results suggested 1) monolayer adsorption of HSA on both cellulose …

In Vitro and In Silico Study of Deposition on Textured Biomaterials: Towards Biofunctionalization of Ventricular Cannula
… is deemed to be the only long-term solution for hemocompatible materials. To induce endothelialization and improve hemocompatibility, LVAD manufacturers adopted powder sintering in multiple contemporary LVADs. Despite the wide adoption of sintered titanium, clinical outcomes over the past several …

The determination of hemocompatibility of a geometrically-altered poly(dimethylsiloxane) surface
… or PDMS, was found to be more or less hemocompatible than a flat, unaltered film of PDMS. In this case, the alteration was the addition of micron-scale posts sticking perpendicular to the surface, creating a superhydrophobic "bed of nails" effect. Once the specific altered surfaces were …

The wettability of biomaterials determines the protein adsorption and the cellular responses
… and infections. Thus the materials must be hemocompatible in order to minimize these undesired body responses. The earliest and one of the main problems in the use of blood-contacting biomaterials is the surface induced thrombosis. The sequence of the thrombus formation on the artificial …

Endothelialization of Bypass Grafts Using Autologous Stem Cells
… fibroblast-remodeled fibrin tissues to create a hemocompatible TEVGs. We investigated the effects of shear stress, cyclic stretching, and simultaneous cyclic stretching and shear stress (resulted from pulsatile fluid flow) in differentiating ASCs towards ECs. Conditioned-ASCs aligned with the …

A Glomerular Basement Membrane-on-a-Chip Model for Investigating Charge-Selective Transport Across the Human Filtration Barrier
… to inform the design of more selective and hemocompatible dialysis membranes. AB 8/13 podocyte monocultures, ciGEnCs endothelial monocultures, and podocyte–endothelial co-culture chips were maintained under static conditions, with flow applied only during the charged dextran perfusion. …

NOVEL NANOFIBER-BASED GRAFT FOR HEART VALVE REPLACEMENT
… protein with mechanical robust silk fibroin, and hemocompatible synthetic elastic polymer poly(glycerol-sebacate) (PGS). The central hypothesis of this project was: Electrospun grafts created from composites of type I collagen, silk fibroin, and PGS are stable, less thrombogenic and more readily …
