IISER Bhopal researchers develop clear, safe, biomedical adhesive to repair injured tissues

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal have developed a biodegradable and biocompatible adhesive that can seal and repair injured tissues. The adhesive can bind different surfaces, including tissues, bones, eggshells, and wood, in both air and underwater without the need for additional agents. It has applications in medicine, dentistry, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. The adhesive is transparent, allowing for aesthetic value, and has a porosity that aids tissue regeneration.
