Tissue Sealants In article number 2100803 by Boaz Mizrahi and co‐workers, an elastic biodegradable sealant is designed by mixing two complementary neat (solvent‐free) star shape prepolymers. This mixture, which hardens in several seconds, offers several advantages over existing tissue sealants, including excellent mechanical properties and degradation behavior, minimal cytotoxicity in vitro and biocompatibility in vivo.
