In this review chapter, we give a brief introduction on the basic principles of mussel-inspired polydopamine coating, catechol conjugation, and discuss how their features play a vital role in biomedical application. Special emphasis is placed on tissue engineering and regenerative applications. We aspire to give readers of this book a comprehensive insight into mussel-inspired biomaterials that can facilitate them make significant contributions in this promising field. ? 2018, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Biomedical applicationCatechol conjugationMussel-inspiredPolydopamineTissue engineering[SDGs]SDG3alginic acid; biomaterial; bone morphogenetic protein 2; calcium phosphate; catechol; dopamine; hydroxyapatite; polycaprolactone; polyethyleneimine; polyglactin; polylactide; recombinant bone morphogenetic protein 2; tissue adhesive; titanium dioxide; adsorption; biocompatibility; biodegradability; blood vessel graft; bone mineralization; bone regeneration; cell adhesion; cell engineering; cell interaction; conjugation; cross linking; human; immobilization; material coating; mussel; nonhuman; pH; polymerization; porosity; priority journal; tissue engineering; tissue regeneration; wound healing; animal; bivalve; regenerative medicine; Animals; Biocompatible Materials; Bivalvia; Cell Adhesion; Humans; Regenerative Medicine; Tissue Engineeringbook part10.1007/978-981-13-0947-2_242-s2.0-85055603745https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85055603745&doi=10.1007%2f978-981-13-0947-2_24&partnerID=40&md5=c0acb5c2bf6665c033319baedee786c7
