Sticky stuff : The novel composite nanofibrous scaffolds based on mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs) provide a mechanically durable structural backbone with the function of bioactive peptides. It can also be easily coated with a variety of biomolecules. This biofunctionalized nanofiber platform could be a promising tool for successful tissue‐engineering applications.
