Wide interest in new hemostatic approaches has stemmed from unmet needs in the hospital
and on the battlefield. Many current commercial hemostatic agents fail to fulfill the design …

The adhesiveness of hydrogels is urgently required in various biomedical applications such
as medical patches, tissue sealants, and flexible electronic devices. However, biological …

Sutures are traumatic to soft connective tissues, such as liver or lungs. Polymer tissue
adhesives require complex in vivo control of polymerization or cross‐linking reactions and …

Geckos are well known for their extraordinary clinging abilities and many species easily
scale vertical or even inverted surfaces. This ability is enabled by a complex digital adhesive …

Multiscale, hierarchically patterned surfaces, such as lotus leaves, butterfly wings, adhesion
pads of gecko lizards are abundantly found in nature, where microstructures are usually …

Over millions of years, biological subjects have been in continuous combat with extreme
environmental conditions. The fittest have survived through continuous evolution, an …

Here, we present cephalopod-inspired miniaturized suction cup (mSC) dry adhesives that …

The complex structures that allow geckos to repeatably adhere to surfaces consist of
multilevel branching fibers with specialized tips. We present a novel technique for fabricating …

Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to a multi-phase reparative process at the site of damaged
heart that ultimately results in the formation of non-conductive fibrous scar tissue. Despite …
