    Abstract Marine organisms, such as mussels and sandcastle worms, can master rapid and robust adhesion in turbulent seawater, becoming leading archetypes for the design of underwater adhesives. The adhesive proteins secreted by the organisms are rich in catecholic amino acids along with ionic and amphiphilic moieties, which mediate the adaptive adhesion mainly through catechol chemistry and coacervation process. Catechol allows a broad range of molecular interactions both at the adhesive-substrate interface and within the adhesive matrix, while coacervation promotes the delivery and surface spreading of the adhesive proteins. These natural design principles have been translated to synthetic systems toward the development of biomimetic adhesives with water-resist adhesion and cohesion. This review provides an overview of the recent progress in bio-inspired wet adhesives, focusing on two aspects: (1) the elucidation of the versatile molecular interactions (e.g., electrostatic interactions, metal coordination, hydrogen bonding, and cation-π/anion-π interactions) used by natural adhesives, mainly through nanomechanical characterizations; and (2) the rational designs of wet adhesives based on these biomimetic strategies, which involve catechol-functionalized, coacervation-induced, and hydrogen bond-based approaches. The emerging applications (e.g., tissue glues, surgical implants, electrode binders) of the developed biomimetic adhesives in biomedical, energy, and environmental fields are also discussed, with future research directions proposed.

    Abstract Cases of multiple ectopic meningiomas in the lung coexisting with pulmonary malignancies are extremely rare in the clinic. On imaging, it is difficult to distinguish multiple ectopic meningiomas from lung cancer, which puts forward higher requirements for treatment. A 65-year-old female patient was admitted to our department for multiple nodules in both lungs. The patient underwent thoracoscopic wedge resection and segmental resection. Postoperative pathological examination found lung meningioma, atypical adenomatoid hyperplasia (AAH), carcinoma in situ (AIS), invasive adenocarcinoma, and other pathological types. In this case, pulmonary meningioma, AAH, AIS, and invasive adenocarcinoma of various pulmonary nodules were observed. This case, which has not been reported before, is unique in that it has multiple pathologic types in one organ. This puts forward higher requirements for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

    Abstract Nature offers inspiration for the development of high-performance synthetic materials. Extensive studies on the universal adhesion and self-healing behavior of mussel byssus reveal that a series of reversible molecular interactions occurring in byssal plaques and threads play an essential role, and the mussel-inspired chemistry can serve as a versatile platform for the design of self-healing materials. In this Perspective, we provide an overview of the recent progress in the detection, quantification, and utilization of mussel-inspired reversible molecular interactions, which includes the elucidation of their binding mechanisms via force-measuring techniques and the development of self-healing materials based on these dynamic interactions. Both conventional catechol-medicated interactions and newly discovered chemistry beyond the catechol groups are discussed, providing insights into the design strategies of advanced self-healing materials via mussel-inspired chemistry.

    Abstract Hexafluoropropylene oxide dimer acid (GenX) is an alternative to perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), whose environmental concentration is close to its maximum allowable value established by the US Environmental Protection Agency, so its effects on human health are of great concern. The liver is one of the most crucial target organ for GenX, but whether GenX exposure induces liver cancer still unclear. In this research project, male C57 mice were disposed to GenX in drinking water at environmental concentrations (0.1 and 10 μg/L) and higher concentrations (1 and 100 mg/L) for 14 weeks to explore its effects on liver injury and potential carcinogenicity in mice. GenX was found to cause a dose-dependent increase in the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total cholesterol (TC), and triglyceride (TG). As the content of GenX in drinking water increased, so did the concentrations of Glypican-3 (GPC-3) and detachment gamma-carboxyprothrombin (DCP), indicators of early hepatocellular cancer. GenX destroyed the boundaries and arrangements of hepatocytes, in which monocyte infiltration, balloon-like transformation, and obvious lipid vacuoles were observed between cells. Following exposure to GenX, Masson sections revealed a significant quantity of collagen deposition in the liver. Alpha-feto protein (AFP), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Ki67, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) gene expression increased in a dose-dependent manner in the treatment group relative to the control group. In general, drinking water GenX exposure induced liver function impairment, elevated blood lipid level, caused liver pathological structure damage and liver fibrosis lesions, changed the liver inflammatory microenvironment, and increased the concentration of liver-related tumor indicator even in the environmental concentration, suggesting GenX is a potential carcinogen.

    Abstract Cation-π interaction is one of the most important noncovalent interactions identified in biosystems, which has been proven to play an essential role in the strong adhesion of marine mussels. In addition to the well-known catecholic amino acid, l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, mussel foot proteins are rich in various aromatic moieties (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan) and cationic residues (e.g., lysine, arginine, and histidine), which favor a series of short-range cation-π interactions with adjustable strengths, serving as a prototype for the development of high-performance underwater adhesives. This work highlights our recent advances in understanding and utilizing cation-π interactions in underwater adhesives, focusing on three aspects: (1) the investigation of the cation-π interaction mechanisms in mussel foot proteins via force-measuring techniques; (2) the modulation of cation-π interactions in mussel mimetic polymers with the variation of cations, anions, and aromatic groups; (3) the design of wet adhesives based on these revealed principles, leading to functional materials in the form of films, coacervates, and hydrogels with biomedical and engineering applications. This review provides valuable insights into the development and optimization of smart materials based on cation-π interactions.
