Engineers have developed a groundbreaking glue that fuses the properties of mucus and mussel plaques, paving the way for advanced biomedical adhesives.

The article from MSN discusses a groundbreaking development in medical adhesives by researchers at the University of British Columbia. They have created a new bioadhesive inspired by the sticky properties of marine mussels, which can effectively bond in wet environments, a challenge for traditional adhesives. This adhesive not only adheres well in the presence of moisture but also has antibacterial properties, reducing the risk of infections. The adhesive uses a combination of natural and synthetic materials, including a modified form of dopamine, which helps in adhesion and also fights bacteria like E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. This innovation could significantly impact medical applications, particularly in surgeries where maintaining adhesion in wet conditions and preventing infections are critical. The research, published in the journal Advanced Functional Materials, highlights the potential for this adhesive in various biomedical applications, from wound closure to tissue repair.
