Mussel-Inspired Biologically Active Titanium Surface for Probable Use in Medical Field

Inspired by the mussel’s ability to very tightly attach itself to even metallic surfaces using unique proteins found in its byssal threads, a team of researchers from RIKEN have managed to attach a biologically active molecule to a titanium surface. This achievement is likely to open doors for implants that can be more biologically beneficial.
