Engineering and characterization of materials inspired by the Humboldt Squid sucker ring teeth

Hydrogel has the ability to encapsulate bioactive molecules and hence become attractive choice as scaffolding materials. Short and ultrashort peptides derived from suckerin protein of Humboldt squid (Dosidicus Gigas) were integrated into hydrogels and studied. A few methods have been tried in this s...
