Immobilization of biomolecules onto surfaces is important in many of the biological and
physical sciences, including cell and molecular biology, analytical chemistry, and in applied …

Mussel-adhesive proteins have been the subject of intensive scientific research over the
past decades,[1–4] associated to the remarkable ability of marine invertebrates to strongly …

We present a versatile route for promoting cell adhesion and viability on various non-wetting
surfaces, inspired by mussel adhesion mechanism. The oxidative polymerization of …

Inspired by the catechol and amine-rich adhesive proteins of mussels, polydopamine (pDA)
has become one of the most widely employed methods for functionalizing material surfaces …

We report a versatile approach for the design of substrate-independent low-fouling surfaces
via mussel-inspired immobilisation of zwitterionic peptides. Using mussel-inspired …

Polydopamine is one of the simplest and most versatile approaches to functionalizing
material surfaces, having been inspired by the adhesive nature of catechols and amines in …

Dopamine is a “sticky” biomolecule containing the typical functional groups of mussel
adhesive proteins. It can self-polymerize into a nanoscale thin film on various surfaces. We …

We report a method to form multifunctional polymer coatings through simple dip-coating of
objects in an aqueous solution of dopamine. Inspired by the composition of adhesive …

Current advances in biomaterial fabrication techniques have broadened their application in
different realms of biomedical engineering, spanning from drug delivery to tissue …

Polydopamine is a biopolymer that is gaining widespread interest as a surface modifying
agent due to its simplicity of preparation, versatility and biocompatibility. The material was …
