Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have designed new mussel-inspired waterproof adhesives that could be used to heal wounds or repair ships. Combinatorial and modular genetic strategy for engineering self-assembling underwater adhesives; abbreviations: Mfps – mussel foot proteins (Mfp3 and Mfp5 – major mussel adhesive foot proteins, have unstructured coil structures in solution and are critical to the underwater interfacial...
