Barnacles are convenient model organisms to study both biomineralization and bioadhesion phenomena. They secrete a proteinaceous adhesive from cement proteins (CPs) to strongly attach to solid immersed substrates. More recently, it has been suggested that some CPs also play a key role in regulating...
