Rheological and Biological Properties of Adhesive Skin Secretions from Eupsophus vertebralis (Anura: Alsodidae)
Skin secretions from Patagonian ground frogs, Eupsophus vertebralis, have previously been reported as a potent proteinaceous adhesive with potential biomedical applications. Here, we conducted a rheological analysis indicating the mechanical robustness of these secretions, with a storage modulus ran...
