Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Adhesive Technology
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Hydrogel adhesives are used for wound healing but swell and lose adhesion on wet tissues.
  • Existing protein-based adhesives struggle with underwater performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a non-swelling protein adhesive for robust underwater and in vivo applications.
  • To create an adhesive with superior performance compared to current market options.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a non-swelling protein adhesive using electrostatic complexation.
  • Incorporation of supercharged polypeptides and oppositely charged surfactants with specific moieties.
  • Testing adhesion in ambient and underwater conditions, including ex vivo and in vivo experiments.

Main Results:

  • The protein adhesive demonstrated ultra-strong adhesion through coacervate formation.
  • Adhesion surpassed commercial cyanoacrylate in ambient conditions.
  • Underwater adhesion exceeded that of previously reported protein-based adhesives.
  • Ex vivo and in vivo tests confirmed persistent adhesion and effective wound sealing.

Conclusions:

  • The developed non-swelling protein adhesive offers a promising solution for wound healing in challenging wet environments.
  • This material exhibits exceptional adhesion and biocompatibility for in vivo applications.
  • The findings pave the way for advanced wound closure technologies.
