Tissue Catalyzed Growth of Polymer as Epithelial Linings for Therapy

Exclusively Licensed

The present disclosure provides compositions, methods, and kits that enable the in situ growth of polymers on or within a subject. In some aspects, the monomer, dopamine, polymerizes in vivo to form a polymer on a tissue. In additional aspects, the compositions, methods, and kits are useful for treating or preventing a disease or disorder.
