Revisiting the adhesion mechanism of mussel-inspired chemistry
Mussel-inspired chemistry has become an ideal platform to engineer a myriad of functional materials, but fully understanding the underlying adhesion mechanism is still missing.

Analysis of the Dynamics of Marine Structures and Species with Criterial Mathematical Models
The influence of the area of artificial substrates (collectors) on the biological parameters of populations of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck) during their cultivation in the Black Sea has been investigated.

Chitin and chitosan have been proved to have enormous applications in biomedical, pharmaceutical, and industrial fields. The horse mussel, Modiolus modiolus, a refuse of the fishery industries at Thondi, is a reserve of rich chitin.

Ovothiols are histidine-derived thiols produced by a variety of marine invertebrates, protists and bacteria. These compounds, which are among the strongest natural antioxidants, are involved in controlling the cellular redox balance due to their redox ...

Glochidia ecology in wild fish populations and laboratory determination of competent host fishes for an endemic freshwater mussel of south-western Australia [PDF]
Glochidia (parasitic larvae) of freshwater mussels generally require a fish as a host. Westralunio carteri Iredale, 1934 (Bivalvia : Hyriidae), the only freshwater mussel found in south-western Australia, was listed as Vulnerable, but recently changed to

Population dynamics of subtidal blue mussels Mytilus edulis and the impact of cultivation
Fishery on subtidal mussel beds and subsequent relying on culture plots in the same system is a common practice in bottom mussel culture. We address factors that determine the population dynamics of subtidal blue mussels Mytilus edulis L.

Using mussel as a global bioindicator of coastal microplastic pollution.
The ubiquity and high bioavailability of microplastics have an unknown risk on the marine environment. Biomonitoring should be used to investigate biotic impacts of microplastic exposure.

Recent progress in synthesis and application of mussel-inspired adhesives.
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 a catecholic amino acid, l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (Dopa).
