Mucus is known as a viscous fluid; yet, snails manufacture various mucus-based materials with much higher cohesion and tailored to different and even antagonistic functions, including lubrication, adhesion, protection, and defense. To gain insight into this versatility, we use a multidisciplinary approach …

Challenging to engineer in synthetic glues, wet adhesion is critical for many technical and biomedical applications. Mussels, however, have evolved underwater glues that adhere effectively onto slippery seashore surfaces. Past research on mussel adhesion highlights the importance of the post-translationally modified amino …

Abstract Humans struggle to design effective underwater adhesives, yet they are essential for numerous technical and biomedical applications. In contrast, biological organisms—most notably mussels—have evolved glues that excel in aquatic environments. While researchers have drawn inspiration from mussels, the resulting materials remain …

Mussels fabricate a distinctive biointerface that bridges their non-living biopolymeric byssus (used for anchoring in seashore habitats) with their soft-living tissue. Occurring in a region known as the byssus stem root, this biointerface is at once strong, yet also capable of on-demand …

Marine mussels fabricate tough collagenous fibers known as byssal threads to anchor themselves. Threads are produced individually in minutes via secretion of liquid crystalline (LC) collagenous precursors (preCols); yet the physical and chemical parameters influencing thread formation remain unclear. Here, we characterized …

The mussel byssus stem provides a strong and compact mechanically mismatched biointerface between living tissue and a nonliving biopolymer. Yet, in a poorly understood process, mussels can simply jettison their entire byssus, rebuilding a new one in just hours. We characterized the …

Functionally graded interfaces are prominent in biological tissues and are used to mitigate stress concentrations at junctions between mechanically dissimilar components. Biological mechanical gradients serve as important role models for bioinspired design in technically and biomedically relevant applications. However, this necessitates elucidating …

To anchor in seashore habitats, mussels fabricate adhesive byssus fibers mechanically reinforced by protein-metal coordination mediated via 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) – providing a well-established role model for bio-inspired design of smart metallopolymers and underwater glues. However, currently, the mechanism by which metal ions …
