Tissue engineering is a promising and revolutionary strategy to treat patients who suffer the
loss or failure of an organ or tissue, with the aim to restore the dysfunctional tissues and …

With the thriving of mussel-inspired polyphenol chemistry as well as the demand for low-cost
analogues to polydopamine in adhesive design, tannic acid has gradually become a …

Hydrogels are a unique class of polymeric materials that possess an interconnected porous
network across various length scales from nano-to macroscopic dimensions and exhibit …

The adhesion of some marine organisms to almost any kind of surface in wet conditions has
aroused increasing interest in recent decades. Numerous fundamental studies have been …

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 …

The development of facile and versatile strategies with low-cost for hydrogel construction is
of tremendous scientific interest. Herein, we demonstrate that naturally derived, cost …

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 …

Improved understanding of the underwater attachment strategy of the blue mussels and
other marine organisms has inspired researchers to find new routes to advanced materials …

Currently available biomedical adhesives are mainly engineered to have one function (ie,
providing mechanical support for the repaired tissue). To improve the performance of …

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