Dopamine is best known as a neurotransmitter. What is rather unknown, however, the underwater glue used by mussels contains large amounts of L-Dopa molecules, an analog of dopamine. Inspired by this, ...

Polydopamine coatings have emerged as a transformative platform for the modification of bone tissue engineering scaffolds. Inspired by mussel adhesive proteins, the polymer forms a conformal layer on ...

A simple way to raise the accuracy of diagnostic tests for medicine and common assays for laboratory research has now been identified by researchers. By adding polydopamine -- a material that was ...

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed hollow microspheres made of mucus and polydopamine using a simple and scalable production method. These tiny spheres are intended ...

Scientists at the University of Washington have discovered a simple way to raise the accuracy of diagnostic tests for medicine and common assays for laboratory research. By adding polydopamine — a ...
