Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <italic> <bold>Rapid and efficient repair in vivo</bold> </italic> by the concept of nanobridging—adhesion by aqueous solutions of nanoparticles—even under hemorrhagic conditions in soft organs, such as the liver, for which sutures are traumatic, is described by D. Letourneur, L. Leibler et al. in their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 6369 ff.</ext-link> The method also leads to the remarkably aesthetic healing of deep skin wounds. Nanobridging also allows medical devices to be fixed to tissues, thereby opening new avenues for surgery and regenerative medicine.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghmfp5h8b" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
