Mechanoresponsive lipid-protein nanoglobules facilitate reversible fibre formation in velvet worm slime
Velvet worms eject a fluid capture slime that can be mechanically drawn into stiff biopolymeric fibres. Remarkably, these fibres can be dissolved by extended exposure to water, and new regenerated fibres can be drawn from the dissolved fibre solution—indicating a fully recyclable process. Here, we p...
