New Class of Crosslinker-Free Nanofiber Biomaterials from Hydra Nematocyst Proteins

Nematocysts, the stinging organelles of cnidarians, have remarkable mechanical properties. Hydra nematocyst capsules undergo volume changes of 50% during their explosive exocytosis and withstand osmotic pressures of beyond 100 bar. Recently, two novel protein components building up the nematocyst ca...
