Abstract

Abstract : 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 by F. Wang, K. Liu et al. on page 35.
