Abstract
A polymer microarray based on the supramolecular ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) moiety is fabricated to screen antimicrobial materials for their ability to support cell adhesion. UPy-functionalized additives, either cell-adhesive, antimicrobial or control peptides, are used, and investigated in different combinations at different concentrations, resulting in a library of 194 spots. These are characterized on composition and morphology to evaluate the microarray fabrication. Normal human dermal fibroblasts are cultured on the microarrays and cell adhesion to the spots is systematically analyzed. Results demonstrate enhanced cell adhesion on spots with combinations including the antimicrobial peptides. This study clearly proves the power of the high throughput approach in combination with supramolecular molecules, to screen additive libraries for desired biological response.

Abstract
Synthetically designed biomaterials strive to recapitulate and mimic the complex environment of natural systems. Using natural materials as a guide, the ability to create high performance biomaterials that control cell fate, and support the next generation of cell and tissue-based therapeutics, is starting to emerge. Supramolecular chemistry takes inspiration from the wealth of non-covalent interactions found in natural materials that are inherently complex, and using the skills of synthetic and polymer chemistry, recreates simple systems to imitate their features. Within the past decade, supramolecular biomaterials have shown utility in tissue engineering and the progress predicts a bright future. On this 30th anniversary of the Netherlands Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering society, we will briefly recount the state of supramolecular biomaterials in the Dutch academic and industrial research and development context. This review will provide the background, recent advances, industrial successes and challenges, as well as future directions of the field, as we see it. Throughout this work, we notice the intricate interplay between simplicity and complexity in creating more advanced solutions. We hope that the interplay and juxtaposition between these two forces can propel the field forward.

Abstract
Supramolecular motifs in elastomeric biomaterials facilitate the modular incorporation of additives with corresponding motifs. The influence of the elastomeric supramolecular base polymer on the presentation of additives has been sparsely examined, limiting the knowledge of transferability of effective functionalization between polymers. Here it was investigated if the polymer backbone and the additive influence biomaterial modification in two different types of hydrogen bonding supramolecular systems, that is, based on ureido-pyrimidinone or bis-urea units. Two different cell-adhesive additives, that is, catechol or cyclic RGD, were incorporated into different elastomeric polymers, that is, polycaprolactone, priplast or polycarbonate. The additive effectiveness was evaluated with three different cell types. AFM measurements showed modest alterations on nano-scale assembly in ureido-pyrimidinone materials modified with additives. On the contrary, additive addition was highly intrusive in bis-urea materials. Detailed cell adhesive studies revealed additive effectiveness varied between base polymers and the supramolecular platform, with bis-urea materials more potently affecting cell behavior. This research highlights that additive transposition might not always be as evident. Therefore, additive effectiveness requires re-evaluation in supramolecular biomaterials when altering the polymer backbone to suit the biomaterial application.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) enables the visualization of molecular distributions on complex surfaces. It has been extensively used in the field of biomedical research to investigate healthy and diseased tissues. Most of the MSI studies are conducted in a 2D fashion where only a single slice of the full sample volume is investigated. However, biological processes occur within a tissue volume and would ideally be investigated as a whole to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the spatial and molecular complexity of biological samples such as tissues and cells. Mass spectrometry imaging has therefore been expanded to the 3D realm whereby molecular distributions within a 3D sample can be visualized. The benefit of investigating volumetric data has led to a quick rise in the application of single-sample 3D-MSI investigations. Several experimental and data analysis aspects need to be considered to perform successful 3D-MSI studies. In this review, we discuss these aspects as well as ongoing developments that enable 3D-MSI to be routinely applied to multi-sample studies.

Abstract
There is increasing interest in the development and applications of synthetic receptors that recognize target biomolecules in aqueous media. We have developed a new tweezer-type synthetic receptor that gives a significant fluorescence response upon complexation with heme in aqueous solution at pH 7.4. The synthetic receptor consists of a tweezer-type heme recognition site and sulfo-Cy5 as a hydrophilic fluorophore. The receptor-heme complex exhibits a supramolecular amphiphilic character that facilitates the formation of self-assembled aggregates, and both the tweezer moiety and the sulfo-Cy5 moiety are important for this property. The synthetic receptor also exhibits significant fluorescence responses to biliverdin and bilirubin, but shows very weak fluorescence responses to flavin mononucleotide, folic acid, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which contain smaller π-scaffolds.

Abstract
The mechanical properties of scaffolds used for mechanically challenging applications such as cardiovascular implants are unequivocally important. Here, the effect of supramolecular additive functionalization on mechanical behavior of electrospun scaffolds was investigated for one bisurea-based model additive and two previously developed antifouling additives. The model additive has no effect on the mechanical properties of the bulk material, whereas the stiffness of electrospun scaffolds was slightly decreased compared to pristine PCL-BU following the addition of the three different additives. These results show the robustness of supramolecular additives used in biomedical applications, in which mechanical properties are important, such as vascular grafts and heart valve constructs.

Abstract
![]()
Surface-initiated controlled
radical polymerization is a popular technique for the modification
of biomaterials with, for example, antifouling polymers. Here, we
report on the functionalization of a supramolecular biomaterial with
zwitterionic poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) via atom transfer radical
polymerization from a macroinitiator additive, which is embedded in
the hard phase of the ureido-pyrimidinone-based material. Poly(sulfobetaine
methacrylate) was successfully polymerized from these surfaces, and
the polymerized sulfobetaine content, with corresponding antifouling
properties, depended on both the macroinitiator additive concentration
and polymerization time. Furthermore, the polymerization from the
macroinitiator additive was successfully translated to functional
electrospun scaffolds, showing the potential for this functionalization
strategy in supramolecular material systems.

Abstract
The bioactive additive toolbox to functionalize supramolecular elastomeric materials expands rapidly. Here we have set an explorative step toward screening of complex combinatorial functionalization with antifouling and three peptide-containing additives in a bisurea-based supramolecular system. Thorough investigation of surface properties of thin films with contact angle measurements, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy, was correlated to cell-adhesion of endothelial and smooth muscle cells to apprehend their respective predictive values for functional biomaterial development. Peptides were presented at the surface alone, and in combinatorial functionalization with the oligo(ethylene glycol)-based non-cell adhesive additive. The bisurea-RGD additive was cell-adhesive in all conditions, whereas the endothelial cell-specific bisurea-REDV showed limited bioactive properties in all chemical nano-environments. Also, aspecific functionality was observed for a bisurea-SDF1α peptide. These results emphasize that special care should be taken in changing the chemical nano-environment with peptide functionalization. © 2019 The Authors.

Abstract
Supramolecular biomaterials based on hydrogen bonding units can be conveniently functionalized in a mix-and-match approach using supramolecular additives. The presentation of bioactive additives has been sparsely investigated in supramolecular-based elastomeric biomaterials. Here it was investigated how cell adhesive peptides are presented and affect the surface in supramolecular biomaterials based either on ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) or bisurea (BU) moieties. Polycaprolactone modified with UPy or BU moieties served as the base material. RGD or cyclic (c)RGD were conjugated to complementary supramolecular motifs, and were mixed with the corresponding base materials as supramolecular additives. Biomaterial surface morphology changed upon bioactivation, resulting in the formation of random aggregates on UPy-based materials, and fibrous aggregates on BU-materials. Moreover, peptide type affected aggregation morphology, in which RGD led to larger cluster formation than cRGD. Increased cRGD concentrations led to reduced focal adhesion size and cell migration velocity, and increased focal adhesion numbers in both systems, yet most prominent on functionalized BU-biomaterials. In conclusion, both systems exhibited distinct peptide presenting properties, of which the BU-system most strongly affected cellular adhesive behavior on the biomaterial. This research provided deeper insights in the differences between supramolecular elastomeric platforms, and the level of peptide introduction for biomaterial applications.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry is an excellent method for functionalization of biomaterials with bioactive molecules, as it allows for decoupling of material processing and bioactivation. Here, we report on a modular system created by means of tetrazine/trans-cyclooctene (Tz/TCO) click chemistry undergoing an inverse electron demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition. A reactive supramolecular surface based on ureido-pyrimidinones (UPy) is generated via a UPy-Tz additive, in order to introduce a versatile TCO-protein G conjugate for immobilization of Fc-fusion proteins. As a model bioactive protein, we introduced Fc-Jagged1, a Notch ligand, to induce Notch signaling activity on the material. Interestingly, HEK293 FLN1 cells expressing the Notch1 receptor were repelled by films modified with TCO-protein G but adhered and spread on functionalized electrospun meshes. This indicates that the material processing method influences the biocompatibility of the postmodification. Notch signaling activity was upregulated 5.6-fold with respect to inactive controls on electrospun materials modified with TCO-protein G/Fc-Jagged1. Furthermore, downstream effects of Notch signaling were detected on the gene level in vascular smooth muscle cells expressing the Notch3 receptor. Taken together, our results demonstrate the successful use of a modular supramolecular system for the postprocessing modification of solid materials with functional proteins.

Abstract
The most striking and general property of the biological fibrous architectures in the extracellular matrix (ECM) is the strong and directional interaction between biologically active protein subunits. These fibers display rich dynamic behavior without losing their architectural integrity. The complexity of the ECM taking care of many essential properties has inspired synthetic chemists to mimic these properties in artificial one-dimensional fibrous structures with the aim to arrive at multi-component biomaterials. Due to the dynamic character required for interaction with natural tissue, supramolecular biomaterials are promising candidates for regenerative medicine. Depending on the application area, and thereby the design criteria of these multi-component fibrous biomaterials, they are used as elastomeric materials or hydrogel systems. Elastomeric materials are designed to have load bearing properties whereas hydrogels are proposed to support in vitro cell culture. Although the chemical structures and systems designed and studied today are rather simple compared to the complexity of the ECM, the first examples of these functional supramolecular biomaterials reaching the clinic have been reported. The basic concept of many of these supramolecular biomaterials is based on their ability to adapt to cell behavior as a result of dynamic non-covalent interactions. In this review, we show the translation of one-dimensional supramolecular polymers into multi-component functional biomaterials for regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
Self-assembled peptide-based hydrogels are emerging materials that have been exploited for wound healing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and other applications. In comparison to synthetic polymer hydrogels, supramolecular peptide-based gels have advantages in biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ease of synthesis and modification. Modification of the emergent viscoelasticity of peptide hydrogels in a stimulus responsive fashion is a longstanding goal in the development of next-generation materials. In an effort to selectively modulate hydrogel viscoelasticity, we report herein a method to enhance the elasticity of β-sheet peptide hydrogels using specific molecular recognition events between functionalized hydrogel fibrils and biomolecules. Two distinct biomolecular recognition strategies are demonstrated: oligonucleotide Watson-Crick duplex formation between peptide nucleic acid (PNA) modified fibrils with a bridging oligonucleotide and protein-ligand recognition between mannose modified fibrils with concanavalin A. These methods to modulate hydrogel elasticity should be broadly adaptable in the context of these materials to a wide variety of molecular recognition partners.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a rapidly emerging field that is continually finding applications in new and exciting areas. The ability of MSI to measure the spatial distribution of molecules at or near the surface of complex substrates makes it an ideal candidate for many applications, including those in the sphere of materials chemistry. Continual development and optimization of both ionization sources and analyzer technologies have resulted in a wide array of MSI tools available, both commercially available and custom-built, with each configuration possessing inherent strengths and limitations. Despite the unique potential of MSI over other chemical imaging methods, their potential and application to (bio)materials science remains in our view a largely underexplored avenue. This review will discuss these techniques enabling high parallel molecular detection, focusing on those with reported uses in (bio)materials chemistry applications and highlighted with select applications. Different technologies are presented in three main sections; secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) imaging, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) MSI, and emerging MSI technologies with potential for biomaterial analysis. The first two sections (SIMS and MALDI) discuss well-established methods that are continually evolving both in technological advancements and in experimental versatility. In the third section, relatively new and versatile technologies capable of performing measurements under ambient conditions will be introduced, with reported applications in materials chemistry or potential applications discussed. The aim of this review is to provide a concise resource for those interested in utilizing MSI for applications such as biomimetic materials, biological/synthetic material interfaces, polymer formulation and bulk property characterization, as well as the spatial and chemical distributions of nanoparticles, or any other molecular imaging application requiring broad chemical speciation.
