However, suturing causes tissue damage, which is accompanied by foreign body reaction, entry of pathogens, complications, infection, or death. In addition, the procedure is usually time-consuming, requiring manual dexterity and free moving space. Other adhesive approaches have been proposed and demonstrated with great potential, including laser-assisted tissue closure with either photothermal or photochemical reactions, application of nanoparticles, glues, constructs based on extracellular matrix (ECM), microbarbs, bio-inspired structures, and tape. The quality of closure has been evaluated by histological methods, indexing, morphology, tensile testing, patency rate, leakage pressure, and burst pressure. All the novel tissue joining methods aim to provide an adhesive with appropriate strength, non-cytotoxicity, and minimal damage. The capability for rapid attachment and release may further reduce surgical procedure time. More research is needed to prove the feasibility of new tissue joining techniques based on the type of tissue, surface chemistry, and working environment.}, number={3}, journal={JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL NANOTECHNOLOGY}, author={Yang, Kai-Hung and Boehm, Ryan D. and Skoog, Shelby A. and Narayan, Roger J.}, year={2020}, month={Mar}, pages={263–282} } @misc{pandey_shukla_skoog_boehm_narayan_2019, title={Current Advancements in Transdermal Biosensing and Targeted Drug Delivery}, volume={19}, ISSN={["1424-8220"]}, DOI={10.3390/s19051028}, abstractNote={In this manuscript, recent advancements in the area of minimally-invasive transdermal biosensing and drug delivery are reviewed. The administration of therapeutic entities through the skin is complicated by the stratum corneum layer, which serves as a barrier to entry and retards bioavailability. A variety of strategies have been adopted for the enhancement of transdermal permeation for drug delivery and biosensing of various substances. Physical techniques such as iontophoresis, reverse iontophoresis, electroporation, and microneedles offer (a) electrical amplification for transdermal sensing of biomolecules and (b) transport of amphiphilic drug molecules to the targeted site in a minimally invasive manner. Iontophoretic delivery involves the application of low currents to the skin as well as the migration of polarized and neutral molecules across it. Transdermal biosensing via microneedles has emerged as a novel approach to replace hypodermic needles. In addition, microneedles have facilitated minimally invasive detection of analytes in body fluids.

Ultrananocrystalline diamond (UNCD) and nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) coatings are the two most studied classes of synthetic diamond coatings; these materials are grown using chemical vapor deposition and are classified based on their nanostructure, grain size, and sp 3 content. UNCD and NCD are mechanically robust, chemically inert, biocompatible, and wear resistant, making them ideal implant coatings. UNCD and NCD have been recently investigated for ophthalmic, cardiovascular, dental, and orthopaedic device applications. The aim of this study was (a) to evaluate the in vitro biocompatibility of UNCD and NCD coatings and (b) to determine if variations in surface topography and sp 3 content affect cellular response. Diamond coatings with various nanoscale topographies (grain sizes 5-400 nm) were deposited on silicon substrates using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition. Scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy revealed uniform coatings with different scales of surface topography; Raman spectroscopy confirmed the presence of carbon bonding typical of diamond coatings. Cell viability, proliferation, and morphology responses of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) to UNCD and NCD surfaces were evaluated. The hBMSCs on UNCD and NCD coatings exhibited similar cell viability, proliferation, and morphology as those on the control material, tissue culture polystyrene. No significant differences in cellular response were observed on UNCD and NCD coatings with different nanoscale topographies.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of NCD surface nanotopography on in vitro hemocompatibility. NCD coatings with small (NCD‐S) and large (NCD‐L) grain sizes were deposited using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, contact angle testing, and Raman spectroscopy. NCD‐S coatings exhibited average grain sizes of 50–80 nm (RMS 5.8 nm), while NCD‐L coatings exhibited average grain sizes of 200–280 nm (RMS 23.1 nm). In vitro hemocompatibility testing using human blood included protein adsorption, hemolysis, nonactivated partial thromboplastin time, platelet adhesion, and platelet activation. Both NCD coatings demonstrated low protein adsorption, a nonhemolytic response, and minimal activation of the plasma coagulation cascade. Furthermore, the NCD coatings exhibited low thrombogenicity with minimal platelet adhesion and aggregation, and similar morphological changes to surface‐bound platelets (i.e., activation) in comparison to the HDPE negative control material. For all assays, there were no significant differences in the blood–material interactions of NCD‐S versus NCD‐L. The two tested NCD coatings, regardless of nanotopography, had similar hemocompatibility profiles compared to the negative control material (HDPE) and should be further evaluated for use in blood‐contacting medical devices. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Hollow polymer microneedles were made using a laser direct write process that involved two‐photon polymerization of a commercially available Class 2a biocompatible polymer and subsequent electroplating of this structure with iron. Electroplating bath and deposition conditions were shown to affect the mechanical properties of both iron plated microneedles and iron plated on planar polymer substrates. Conditions for depositing the iron coatings were investigated in terms of grain size, residual strain, and elemental composition for planar iron samples. Fracture strength and puncture mechanics into ex vivo porcine skin for iron coated hollow microneedles were examined. Biocompatibility testing was performed using the MTT assay against human epidermal keratinocytes with several concentrations of iron extract to investigate iron as a material used for transdermal applications. Iron coatings proved to significantly improve the strength of the hollow polymer microneedles and sustained structural integrity up to 7 insertions into porcine skin without bending. A commercially available device (Medtronic MiniMed Quick‐Serter®) was used for controlled application of microneedles into porcine skin and estimations of insertion forces for the device were made.

ZnO thin films (∼96 nm thick with a 50 nm grain) were deposited onto silicon wafers using pulsed laser deposition. Cells grown directly on ZnO thin film coatings exhibited less toxicity than cells exposed to extracts of the coatings. Cells on ZnO thin films exhibited a 43% and 68% decrease in cell viability using the MTT and 7-AAD/Annexin V flow cytometry assays, respectively, after a 24-h exposure as compared to controls. Undiluted 100% 24- and 48-h extracts decreased viability by 89%, increased cell death by LDH release to 76% 24 h after treatment, and increased ROS after 5–24 h of exposure. In contrast, no cytotoxicity or ROS were observed for 25% and 50% extracts, indicating a tolerable concentration.
