Polymeric tissue adhesives provide versatile materials for wound management and are
widely used in a variety of medical settings ranging from minor to life-threatening tissue …

The rapid and robust adhesion of marine mussels to diverse solid surfaces in wet
environments is mediated by the secreted mussel adhesive proteins which are abundant in …

Marine mussels secret protein‐based adhesives, which enable them to anchor to various
surfaces in a saline, intertidal zone. Mussel foot proteins (Mfps) contain a large abundance …

This review highlights the research on degradable polymeric tissue adhesives for surgery
and tissue engineering. Included are a comprehensive listing of specific uses, advantages …

Mussels attach to solid surfaces in the sea. Their adhesion must be rapid, strong, and tough,
or else they will be dislodged and dashed to pieces by the next incoming wave. Given the …

Catechols are found in nature taking part in a remarkably broad scope of biochemical
processes and functions. Though not exclusively, such versatility may be traced back to …

Catechols represent an important and versatile building block for the design of mussel-
inspired synthetic adhesives and coatings. Indeed, their ability to establish large panoply of …

After several billions of years, nature still makes decisions on its own to identify, develop,
and direct the most effective material for phenomena/challenges faced. Likewise, and …

Self-healing hydrogels can be made using either reversible covalent cross-links or
coordination chemistry bonds. Here we present a multi-pH-responsive system inspired by …

This review reports the recent advances in the most important and straightforward synthetic
protocols for incorporating catechols into (bio) polymers, and discusses the emerging …
