(A) A schematic of the ePTFE surface modification process to obtain ePTFE-dopamine/ selenocystamine (SeCA)/VEGF (ePTFE-DSV). Reproduced with permission [41]. Copyright 2020, Elsevier. (B) Synthesis route of the reactive oxygen species-responsive drug. Reproduced with permission [40]. Copyright 2020, American Chemical Society. (C) i) Tube product of the extrusion process and expansion process. ii) Platelet adhesion of ePTFE grafts, ePTFE-RGD, ePTFE-heparin, ePTFE-SeCA. The scale bar is 100 μm. iii) Immunochemical staining of HCAECs cultured on ePTFE, ePTFE-RGD, ePTFE-heparin, and ePTFE-SeCA grafts at day 10. The images show the nuclei (blue) and the expression of CD31 (red). The scale bar is 20 μm. Reproduced with permission [39]. Copyright 2020, American Chemical Society
