Construction of degradable multilayer films for enhanced antibacterial properties.
TLDR
A system combining the adhesion resistance and the contact killing properties shows an enhanced antibacterial capability through targeting the "decisive period" of implantation, which may have great potential for applications in medical implants, tissue engineering, etc.

Zwitterionic polycarboxybetaine coating functionalized with REDV peptide to improve selectivity for endothelial cells.
TLDR
Experimental results proved that carboxybetaine-REDV coating maintained desirable antifouling ability and fine hemocompatibility, and was able to enhance the competitive growth of endothelial cells while limiting the adhesion, proliferation, and migration of smooth muscle cells.

Direct adhesion of endothelial cells to bioinspired poly(dopamine) coating through endogenous fibronectin and integrin α5 β1.
TLDR
It is found that HUVECs can attach directly to and spread with well-organized cytoskeleton and fibrillar adhesions on the PDA surface, whereas cells adhere poorly to and barely spread on the control polycaprolactone surface.

Surface modulation of complex stiffness via layer-by-layer assembly as a facile strategy for selective cell adhesion.
TLDR
This study presents an approach to enhance EC competitiveness over that of SMC through the selective EC adhesion, which is achieved by modulating a complex surface stiffness based on the technique of layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly.

Asymmetric free-standing film with multifunctional anti-bacterial and self-cleaning properties.
TLDR
The broad-spectrum antimicrobial capability of silver ions released from the bottom surface coupled with superhydrophobic barrier protection of the upper surface may make the free-standing film a new therapy for open wound.

Facile fabrication of robust superhydrophobic multilayered film based on bioinspired poly(dopamine)-modified carbon nanotubes.
TLDR
A robust thin superhydrophobic film has been created by using layer-by-layer assembly of the carbon nanotubes wrapped by poly(dopamine) (CNT@PDA) and poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) and showed excellent resistance against the adhesion of both platelets and Escherichia coli.

Electrochemically controlled stiffness of multilayers for manipulation of cell adhesion.
TLDR
An electrochemical redox multilayer with tunable stiffness is constructed through the layer-by-layer self-assembly method, resulting reversible change of elastic modulus of the multilayers.
