Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201405166-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A novel mussel‐inspired injectable hydrogel</bold> with self‐healing and anti‐biofouling capabilities is developed and it possesses great potential as a drug‐delivery carrier. The hydrogel can heal autonomously from repeated structural damage and also effectively prevent non‐specific cell attachment and biofilm formation. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh3w99kd8s" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
