Almost all commercial bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) are crosslinked with glutaraldehyde (GLUT); however, issues such as immune responses, calcification, delayed endothelialization, and especially severe thrombosis threaten the service lifespan of BHVs. Surface modification is expected to impart GLUT-crosslinked BHVs with versatility to optimize service performance. Here, a postfunctionalization strategy was established for GLUT-crosslinked BHVs, which were firstly modified with metal-phenolic networks (MPNs) to shield the exposed calcification site, and then anticoagulant recombinant humanized type III collagen (rhCOLIII) was immobilized to endow them with long-term antithrombogenicity and enhanced endothelialization properties. The postfunctionalization coating exhibited promising mechanical properties and resistance to enzymatic degradation capability resembling that of GLUT-crosslinked porcine pericardium (GLUT-PP). With the introduction of meticulously tailored rhCOLIII, the anti-coagulation and re-endothelialization properties of TA/Fe-rhCOLIII were significantly improved. Furthermore, the mild inflammatory response and reduced calcification were evidenced in TA/Fe-rhCOLIII by subcutaneous implantation. In conclusion, the efficacy of the proposed strategy combining anti-inflammatory MPNs and multifunctional rhCOLIII to improve anticoagulation, reduce the inflammatory response, and ultimately achieve rapid reendothelialization was supported by both ex vivo and in vivo experiments. Altogether, the current findings may provide a simple strategy for enhancing the service function of BHVs after implantation and show great potential in clinical applications.

Journal of Materials Chemistry B
Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C cover high quality studies across all fields of materials chemistry. The journals focus on those theoretical or experimental studies that report new understanding, applications, properties and synthesis of materials. The journals have a strong history of publishing quality reports of interest to interdisciplinary communities and providing an efficient and rigorous service through peer review and publication. The journals are led by an international team of Editors-in-Chief and Associate Editors who are all active researchers in their fields. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, B & C are separated by the intended application of the material studied. Broadly, applications in energy and sustainability are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry A, applications in biology and medicine are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry B, and applications in optical, magnetic and electronic devices are of interest to Journal of Materials Chemistry C. More than one Journal of Materials Chemistry journal may be suitable for certain fields and researchers are encouraged to submit their paper to the journal that they feel best fits for their particular article. Example topic areas within the scope of Journal of Materials Chemistry B are listed below. This list is neither exhaustive nor exclusive. Antifouling coatings Biocompatible materials Bioelectronics Bioimaging Biomimetics Biomineralisation Bionics Biosensors Diagnostics Drug delivery Gene delivery Immunobiology Nanomedicine Regenerative medicine & Tissue engineering Scaffolds Soft robotics Stem cells Therapeutic devices image block All articles published in Journal of Materials Chemistry B from 2019 onwards will be indexed in MEDLINE®. Articles that primarily focus on providing insight into the underlying science and performance of biomaterials within a biological environment are more suited to our companion journal, Biomaterials Science.
