Molecular insights into the powerful mucus-based adhesion of limpets ( Patella vulgata L.)

Limpets ( Patella vulgata L.) are renowned for their powerful attachments to rocks on wave-swept seashores. Unlike adult barnacles and mussels, limpets do not adhere permanently; instead, they repeatedly transition between long-term adhesion and locomotive adhesion depending on the tide. Recent stud...
