Several marine organisms, such as mussels, secrete adhesive proteins that allow them to stick to different surfaces under sea water. This attractive underwater adhesion property has inspired decades ...

The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University announced today that its tough gel adhesive technology has been licensed by Amend Surgical, a Florida-based medical ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal have developed a biodegradable and biocompatible adhesive that can seal and repair injured tissues. The adhesive can bind ...

A biocompatible, antimicrobial adhesive for corneal repair and grafting could replace sutures and conventional adhesives with bad side effects. Iman Noshadi, an assistant professor of bioengineering ...

Researchers at Okayama University describe in Acta Biomaterialia a new type of biocompatible adhesive material. The adhesive, made from nanoparticles of hydroxyapatite, glues both synthetic hydrogels ...

Schematic and photograph of a hydrogel patch adhered on the human skin through the silk adhesive. (Image: KAIST) Recently, biocompatible silk fibroins has been increasingly used for flexible ...

Producing effective epidermal electronics requires a strong, biocompatible interface between a biological surface and a sensor. Here, a KAIST team employed a calcium-modified silk fibroin as a ...

A team of experts in mechanics, materials science, and tissue engineering has created an extremely stretchy and tough gel that may pave the way to replacing damaged cartilage in human joints. Called a ...

Video: Explains poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), a hydrogel biopolymer that is a similar concept to the new hydrogel built at Nanjing University, but is being used in ...

Researchers have used synthetic biology to bring together the best of spider silk and mussel foot protein in a biocompatible adhesive. Several marine organisms, such as mussels, secrete adhesive ...
