Mussel-inspired peptide mimicking: An emerging strategy for surface bioengineering of medical implants

With the massive use of medical implants (e.g., metals, polymers and ceramics) in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgery, surface biomodification of these exogenous biomaterials has caused growing concern, for the purpose of improving their functions and avoiding surgical failure. Mussel-inspired che...
