Bioengineered protein‐based adhesives with robust adhesion behaviours have been designed by genetic engineering. Elastin‐like polypeptides, mussel‐foot proteins, and spider silk spidroin are employed to fabricate the bioengineered protein‐based adhesives. The excellent biocompatibility and mechanical performance endow these bioadhesives for biomedical applications. To learn more, see the Minireview...
Protein‐based adhesives with their robust adhesion performance and excellent biocompatibility have been extensively explored over years. In particular, the unique adhesion behaviours of mussel and sandcastle worm inspired the development of synthetic adhesives. However, the chemical synthesized adhesives often demonstrate weak underwater adhesion performance and poor biocompatibility/biodegradability,...
