Several adhesives found in nature perform in ways that synthetic adhesives do not yet match. For example, even though many aquatic organisms have adapted to adhere to surfaces in aqueous environments, it remains an engineering challenge to synthesize biocompatible adhesives that are effective in wet conditions...

Delivery of therapeutics across blood brain barrier is a challenging task as most small organic molecules have inadequate aqueous solubility, limited bioavailability or poor permeation across blood brain barrier 1 ...

Scaffold porosity plays an important role in bone tissue engineering as macropores promote cell migration and flow of nutrients and micropores promote protein adsorption and cell adhesion...
