Figure 7. ECM-inspired nanocoating over stainless steel with enhanced wound repair. The modified surface effectively prevented thrombosis formation by inhibiting platelet adhesion and activation, while accelerating endothelial cell adhesion and migration. The controlled delivery of biomolecules induced the immobilization of EPC. Reprinted (adapted) with permission from Liu et al.[55]. Copyright (2017), American Chemical Society.
