Looking forward to presenting at #CSC2025 on Monday's session "Interdisciplinarity in Organic Chemistry — Enabling the Central Science (Monday AM1)" @dalchemistry.bsky.social

Happy International Women’s Day!

Sticky organisms create underwater biological adhesives driven by interactions between EGF- and GlcNAc- containing polysaccharides - Nature Communications This study investigates the Barbatia virescense byssal system and reveals additional function for the EGF protein, known for skin regeneration, as a biological adhesive across diverse species, highlig...

I really enjoyed reading the recent work by Jimin Choi and the team describing how EGF/EGF-like domains facilitate remarkable wet adhesion via GlcNAc. I wonder what new materials may come of this discovery?
