In 1941, two UC Berkeley graduate students recorded 31 species living in a mussel bed on Dillon Beach. In 2019, PhD candidate ...

A research team has uncovered the molecular mechanism behind the remarkable underwater adhesion of hairy mussels. Their findings reveal an oxidation-independent adhesion process driven by interactions ...

We funded a natural history poster featuring the extinct freshwater mussels of the American Southeast to increase awareness and motivate actions to save the surviving species. Check out our 230-foot ...

Their experiments revealed that these proteins exhibit adhesion energy more than three times greater than widely recognized wet-adhesive proteins, such as mefp-5 (mussel foot protein) and suckerin ...

The approach leverages the remarkable adhesive properties of marine mussel proteins, renowned for their underwater adhesion. Drawing inspiration from the oxidation-reduction mechanisms of foot ...
