Apparently a group of researchers at NC State think differently. They?ve combined the adhesive proteins found in the glue of marine mussels and printer inkjet technology to develop a medical adhesive that is both non-toxic and biodegradable. They are leveraging the inkjet technology to gain greater control of the adhesive placement during surgery resulting in faster surgical recovery and reduced scarring.
Will marine mussel protein become the new ?Ink?? Which pharmaceutical company is going to become the next HP?
Stay tuned?
