Proteins, Processing, and Properties of Adhesive Fluid Condensates Purified from Mussels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mussels exhibit an unmatched proficiency for adhering to wet surfaces in salty environments—a remarkable ability that could inspire new biomedical and technical glues. The fluid protein condensates used to form the underwater mussel glue are extracted, reconstituted and characterized with advanced spectroscopy and nanomechanical analysis, revealing ...

Injectable Dual‐Crosslinked Poly(oligo(Ethylene Glycol) Methacrylate) Hydrogels Inspired by Mussel Adhesion for Cutaneous Wound Healing and Functional Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Injectable POEGMA‐DA hydrogels, dual‐crosslinked via dopamine self‐polymerization and dynamic hydrazone bonds, provide a safer alternative to invasive wound closure methods and toxic bioadhesives. Mimicking skin‐like mechanics, they achieve effective tissue adhesion for acute dermal wounds, supporting improved healing outcomes, including reducing ...

Hybrid Nanofibers for Multimodal Accelerated Wound Healing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fabrication of wound healing scaffolds based on biocompatible nanofibers. Nanofibers offering high surface area, flexibility, and biocompatibility significantly improved the healing outcome in vivo. Histological, immunological, and anti‐inflammatory markers are noticeably better in treated wounds.
