Mussel-Inspired, One-Step Thiol Functionalization of Solid Surfaces
Mussel-inspired surface chemistry, in which catechol derivatives play an important role, has garnered extensive research interest owing to material-independent surface coating capability and easy implementation to a wide range of applications. Generally,

Vibrio cholerae interactions with Mytilus galloprovincialis hemocytes mediated by serum components.
Edible bivalves (e.g., mussels, oysters) can accumulate large amount of bacteria in their tissues and act as passive carriers of pathogens to humans. Bacterial persistence inside bivalves depends, at least in part, on hemolymph anti-bacterial activity ...

Some species are more equal than others. Robert T. Paine (American ecologist, 1933-2016) discovered that if you remove starfish - what he called a "keystone species" - from a tide pool, the complex ecosystem collapses. Without the predator starfish, mussels choke out other animals and plants. This phenomenon is general.

Adhesion of mussel byssus to concrete
Tatar, JovanStructural adhesives offer numerous benefits over traditional mechanical joints in terms of their ability to distribute stresses over a larger surface area, resist corrosion and allow accelerated construction.

A comparative study of the behavioural responses to heavy metal pollution populations of the common mussel mytilus edulis L, collected from a polluted site(Teesmouth) and a relatively unpolluted site (Lindisfame) [PDF]
This study examined the ecological differences between two populations of the common blue mussel Mytilus edulis L. The project investigated the response to heavy metal pollution, administered in the form of metal salts, to individuals from populations ...

Temperature Compensation of Ciliary Movement at Gill in the Mediterranean Blue Mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, the Green Mussel Perna viridis and the Purplish Bifurcate Mussel Septifer virgatus [PDF]
Temperature compensation of the ciliary movement at gill was examined by elevating the water temperature at a rate of 1℃/1 hr from 12℃(January), 20℃(May)and 28℃(August)in the Mediterranean blue mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis, the Green mussel Perna ...
