Polymer heart valves are a promising alternative to bioprostheses, the use of which is limited by the risks of calcific deterioration of devitalized preserved animal tissues. This is especially relevant in connection with the increasingly widespread use of transcatheter valves. Advances in modern organic chemistry provide a wide range of polymers that can replace biological material in the production of valve prostheses.

The effectiveness and safety of two types of samples based on a biocompatible polymer material made of methacrylic oligomers (Reperen) as a potential antiadhesion pericardial barrier were evaluated in in vitro and in vivo experiments. Two kinds of samples, reinforced with a polyamide mesh and without reinforcement, were used. In in vitro experiments, no adhesion and aggregation of human fibroblasts to the test samples were detected.

The alveolar-capillary interface is the key functional element of gas exchange in the human lung, and disruptions to this interface can lead to significant medical complications. However, it is currently challenging to adequately model this interface in vitro, as it requires not only the co-culture of human alveolar epithelial and endothelial cells but mainly the preparation of a biocompatible scaffold that mimics the basement membrane. This scaffold should support cell seeding from both sides, and maintain optimal cell adhesion, growth, and differentiation conditions.

Synthetic polypeptides, also known as poly(α-amino acids), have the same polyamide backbone structures as natural proteins and peptides. As an important class of biomaterials, polypeptides have been widely used because of their biocompatibility, bioactivity and biodegradability. Ring-opening polymerization of N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) is a classical and widely used method for the synthesis of polypeptides.
