Sticky nanofibrous scaffolds based on mussel adhesive proteins (MAPS) can be functionalized with diverse types of biomolecules. In their Communication on page 675 ff., H. J. Cha and co‐workers report that the adhesive and chemical properties of MAPS are conducive to functionalization without surface modification. These nanofibers show promise for tissue engineering applications.
