Abstract

Abstract : Bioadhesives In article number 2202729, Seung‐Woo Cho and co‐workers demonstrate a pH‐universal catechol‐amine chemistry inspired by mussel adhesion in the natural marine environment. The dual‐mode catechol tethering to hyaluronic acid via amide and secondary amine linkages enables robust crosslinking and tissue‐adhesion of the hydrogel regardless of pH conditions, thereby allowing versatile biomedical applications.
