Abstract
Tissue Adhesives In article number 2300090, Khoon S. Lim and co-workers present the complications arising from tissue adhesives having insufficient adhesion strength. Different strategies are proposed to engineer on-demand removal properties of tissue-adhesive hydrogels which will guide researchers interested to work in this field.
