Abstract
    Synthetic adhesives are widely used in our daily lives, in medicine and industry. These man-made glues contain toxic or carcinogenic components. In contrast, biological adhesives produced by animals and plants are nontoxic and tissue-compatible, and are able to function under wet conditions. However, little is known about the mechanisms underlying biological adhesives. We characterized adhesion and release in our model system Macrostomum lignano. We used a state-of-the-art toolbox to identify the involved adhesive and release molecules. We aim for understanding the fundamental mechanisms that mediate adhesion and release in flatworms, with the future goal of generating a flatworm-derived biomimetic glue that can be applied in biomedicine and industry.
