Mussel byssus-inspired dual-functionalization of zirconia dental implants for improved bone integration by Qihong Zhang, Shuyi Wu, Yingyue Sun, Kendrick Hii Ru Yie, Jiatong Zhuang, Tingting Liu, Wen Si, Yinyan Zhang, Zheyuan Liu, Lifeng Xiong, Lei Lu, Peng Gao, Jinsong Liu

“…Here, we fabricated a dual-functional coating that incorporates strontium ions, aimed at enhancing osteogenic activity, along with an integrin-targeting sequence to improve cell adhesion by mussel byssus-inspired surface chemistry. The results indicated that although the integrin-targeting sequence at the interface solely enhances osteoblast adhesion without directly increasing osteogenic activity, its synergistic interaction with the continuously released strontium ions from the coating, as compared to the release of strontium ions alone, significantly enhances the overall osteogenic effect. …”

Four-stranded coiled-coil elastic protein in the byssus of the giant clam, Tridacna maxima by Miserez, Ali, Li, Youli, Cagnon, Joel, Waite, J. Herbert, Weaver, James C.

“…An elastic protein with a secondary structure distinct from all well-known load-bearing proteins is found in the byssus of the giant clam, Tridacna maxima. The byssus consists of a bundle of hundreds of individual threads, each measuring about about 100 μm in diameter, which exhibit a tendon-like mechanical response. …”

Byssus of the green-lipped mussel Perna viridis (Linnaeus) as a biomonitoring material for Zn by Yap, Chee Kong, Ahmad, Ismail, Tan, Soon Guan

“…Higher R-values were found between the byssus–easily or freely, leachable and exchangeable, byssus–acid-reducible, byssus–oxidizable-organic and byssus–nonresistant fractions of the sediment, and the byssus–Zn concentration in the total sediment when compared to those found between the soft tissue and the same geochemical fractions. …”

Mercury concentrations in the different soft tissues and byssus of Perna viridis (L.) collected from the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. by Yap, Chee Kong, Ismail, Ahmad, Tan, Soon Guan

“…Green-lipped mussel Perna viridis collected between 1999-2000 from 7 geographical sites from the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia were dissected into mantle, foot, gill, crystalline style, muscle, gonad and byssus. All the 6 different soft tissues and byssus were analyzed for elemental Hg by using a Hg Analyzer Model MA-1S. …”

The distribution of the Heavy Metals (Cu, Pb and Zn) in the Soft and Hard Tissues of the Green-Lipped Mussel Perna viridis (Linnaeus) Collected from Pasir Panjang, Peninsular Malay... by Yap, Chee Kong, Ismail, Ahmad, Tan, Soon Guan, Abdul Rahim, Ismail

“…The level of Cu in the crystalline style was significantly (P< 0.05) elevated when compared to the other soft tissues while elevated levels of Cu, Pb and Zn were found in the byssus. The byssus is therefore a more sensitive material for Cu, Pb and Zn. …”
