Biomimmetic surfaces effectively inhibiting coagulation process dedicated for cardiovascular devices The work focused on developing coatings with niche-like surfaces that resemble stem cells. Structures similar to stem cell niches were designed to inhibit the fast division process and subsequently to influence the efficient endothelialisation. Usin...

... surface types that is also strongly reflected in the colonization of the surface and its potential to rise. Coatings based on amorphous carbon better enhance the efficiency of endothelial monolayer formation. The most efficient cell growth was observed on the surfaces type a-C:H (sputtered) with a thickness of 105-110 nm. The following analysis (Fig. 6) shows the endothelial cell monolayer still in the forming stage, which can be recognized by the characteristic elongated pattern of the cells. The final stage of the endothelium layer exhibits the cube-like shape of the cells. None of the materials influenced effectively enough to form a full ...
