Slime as a material for multifunctional spheres Prof. Oliver Lieleg and his team have developed a multifunctional microsphere made of mucin and polydopamine for cargo transport.

Oliver Lieleg and his team developed hollow #microspheres from #mucin and #polydopamine. These tunable carriers transport #cargomolecules and release them gradually at challenging sites like joints or the oral mucosa: go.tum.de/603735
