Karp says he and Langer??s team recently created an elastic, waterproof, and biodegradable polymer called “biorubber” in the search for a safe tape-based clinical adhesive. Biorubber, Karp said, is “bio-compatible,” and it would not cause a serious inflammatory response if used in surgery...
...Karp and Langer??s labs have only tested the adhesive on rats and pigs. However, Karp and Langer say they’ll likely develop a specific application for their adhesive and soon work with a company to get their product into hospitals...
However, Autumn added, much research and progress has yet to be made. For instance, he said, Karp and Langer??s adhesive is not nearly as sticky as the feet of the gecko lizards that inspired...

A recent study conducted by Langer??s laboratory, published in the February edition of Psychological Science, finds that having the proper mindset plays a key role in producing the beneficial effects of exercise. According to Langer, being cognizant of these benefits acts as a placebo, thus amplifying the positive effects. “By fooling the mind, we essentially fool the body,” she said.
