 BETHLEHEM, Pa., Oct. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mussel Polymers, Inc. has demonstrated that its proprietary Poly(Catechol-Styrene) molecule induces the mineralization of dentin (a layer of tooth material), specifically causing the deposition of Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP). The deposition of ACP on dentin is expected to help alleviate the pain of 'dentin hypersensitivity.' The patented MPI tooth sensitivity treatment is expected to be longer-lasting than currently used non-surgical treatments.
 There are few substances that coat surfaces better than polydopamine. It seems to stick to nearly everything, from nanoparticles to Teflon, from cathodes to ceramics, from bones to airplanes, and from printed circuit boards to metals. In fact, over the past decade thousands of papers have been published on the use and properties of this bio-inspired material.  By: Stacy Wescoe

What if we could harness the sticking powers of sea creatures like mussels, oysters and barnacles, which refuse to budge even on wet, stormy coastlines? Dive into the wonderful world of animals that make their own glue and cement with scientist Jonathan Wilker -- and preview some of the amazing things we can learn from how they do it. This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxPurdueU, an independent event. TED's editors chose to feature it for you. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A novel underwater adhesive technology, based on a glue used naturally by marine creatures, soon may provide a safer adhesive option for industries ranging from biomedical to aerospace.
