Throughout all kingdoms of life, a large number of adhesive biomolecules have evolved to allow organisms to adhere to surfaces underwater. Proteins play an important role in the adhesion of numerous marine invertebrates (e.g. mussels, sea stars, sea urchins) whereas much less is known about the biol...

Barnacles interest the scientific community for multiple reasons: their unique evolutionary trajectory, vast diversity, and economic impact as a harvested food source and also as one of the most prolific macroscopic hard biofouling organisms. A common, yet novel, trait among barnacles is adhesion, ...

The base of the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite has a layer of protein and cuticle that adheres the barnacle to the surface. The proteins in the adhesive have been characterized, but it is unknown whether the adhesive proteins are associated with the cuticle. To address this possibility, we examine...

Marine bioadhesives have unmatched performances especially in wet environments, being valuable sources of inspiration for industrial and biomedical applications. In sea urchins specialized adhesive organs, called tube feet, mediate adhesion. These are composed by a disc, which produces adhesive and ...

Structural assembly of the glycan-rich, chitin-reinforced adhesive of Hydra is coordinated by a lectin-like protein, HvAb1
For Streptococcus pneumoniae, biofilms have been suggested to promote long-term colonization of the nasopharynx and contribute to the pathology of recurrent middle ear infections. To date numerous studies have investigated the contribution of specific genetic determinants for the development of pneu...

Background: Marine biofouling negatively impacts industries reliant upon submerged stationary surfaces. The acorn barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite is a major biofouler that permanently attaches to a wide array of substrates by producing a proteinaceous adhesive at the surface interface. These interf...

Bulk transcriptomic data of shoulder capsule fibroblasts isolated from frozen shoulder co-cultured with Dexamethasone (DEX) or LPS treated monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM), which were isolated from blood cones and stimulated with M-CSF, for 72 hours. The stimulated MDMs have been characterised as ...

Aquatic animals deploy adhesives, in numerous essential functions, and reversibility is a key adaptation. The molecular mechanisms of reversible wet adhesion remain poorly understood. Using a model organism, the freshwater cnidarian Hydra vulgaris, we dissect the mechanism of molecular assembly in a...
