In situ regeneration of bioactive coatings enabled by an evolved Staphylococcus aureus sortase A

Bioactive coatings offer a strategy to modulate host response to implants, but their translation to the clinic is hampered by their fast in vivo degradation. Here, the authors use an engineered bacterial protein to regenerate an anti-thrombogenic film in vitro and in situafter device implantation.
