Bacteria-mimetic bioadhesives with multivalent mucoadhesion and drug-compatible delivery
2026-04-17
Abstract excerpt
The ability to adhere to mucus-lined tissues underpins a range of biomedical devices and therapies. However, many existing strategies rely on covalent bonding chemistries and can be unstable, cytotoxic, or incompatible with therapeutics. Here, we present a bacteria-mimetic bioadhesion strategy inspired by Vibrio cholerae . A short Bap1-derived adhesion peptide is grafted onto chitosan to strengthen mucus interact...
