Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2014 Lignin is one of the most abundant aromatic biopolymers and a major component of plant cell walls. It occurs via oxidative coupling of monolignols, which are synthesized from the phenylpropanoid pathway. Lignin is the primary material responsible for biomass recalcitrance, has almost no industrial utility, and cannot be simply removed from growing ...

Bioengineered, 2015 Three-dimensional (3D) tumor models generated in vitro using methods of tissue engineering are just starting to show potential for predictive studies of therapeutic targets and screening of anticancer drugs. By mimicking some of the key features of the in vivo tumor environment, these models allow us to grow physiologically relevant tumors and study ...
