TL;DR: Key requirements and properties of these substrates, as well as methods and readout parameters to test their efficacy in the human body, are described in detail and discussed in the light of current trends toward designing biologically inspired microenviroments for in situ tissue engineering purposes.

TL;DR: High-resolution depth profiling by time-of-flight (ToF) secondary-ion mass spectrometry clearly shows distinct differences in surface and bulk material composition.

TL;DR: The development of mechanically stable grafts with non-cell adhesive properties via a mix-and-match approach using ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy)-modified supramolecular polymers is reported, providing the first steps toward advanced supramolescular biomaterials for in situ vascular tissue engineering with control over selective cell capturing.

TL;DR: Supramolecular material systems are highlighted as they provide a promising platform to introduce dynamic reciprocity, due to their inherent dynamic nature.

TL;DR: Analysis of adsorption of the first three proteins from the Vroman series, albumin, γ-globulin, and fibrinogen, revealed that the surfaces containing the UPyPEG additives had a limited effect on adsor adaptation of these proteins, which shows that non-cell-adhesive properties of supramolecular polymer surfaces are not always directly correlated to protein adhesion.
