A Pseudo‐Mytilus Edulis Foot Protein‐Based Hydrogel Adhesive with Osteo‐Vascular‐Immune Coupling Effects for Osteoporotic Bone‐Implant Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by mussel proteins, YDC‐Gel‐Zn is a smart bone glue designed for osteoporotic implants. It adheres strongly to both metal implants and bone for initial fixation. In osteoporosis's inflammatory environment, it sequentially releases zinc ions and therapeutic peptides: the zinc modulates immune cells to reduce inflammation, while the peptides ...
