Adhesives

Well, the sandcastle worm beats us again. For thousands of years this animal has been producing adhesives that work underwater, something humans still can't do. But we are making progress. The navy is testing adhesives on animal bones and tissues hoping that this will work. They want to imitate the sandcastle worm's glue to make it more effective on the human body so that it can be utilized to repair tissues. Good luck!
