Unravelling the nanostructure of cellulose microfibrils [PDF]
Acta Crystallographica Section A Foundations and Advances, 2014 Cellulose is the most abundant naturally occurring polymer and has diverse applications in biology, energy and engineering. The cellulose nanostructure has implications on the mechanical strength of natural materials such as wood and nanocelluloses are also being used to create high-performance composite materials with properties comparable to aramid ...

Structure-mechanics relationships of collagen fibrils in the Osteogenesis Imperfecta Mouse model [PDF]
, 2015 The collagen molecule, which is the building block of collagen fibrils, is a triple helix of two α1(I) chains and one α2(I) chain. However, in the severe mouse model of osteogenesis imperfecta (OIM), deletion of the COL1A2 gene results in the ...

Ethylene Signaling Is Required for Fully Functional Tension Wood in Hybrid Aspen
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Tension wood (TW) in hybrid aspen trees forms on the upper side of displaced stems to generate a strain that leads to uplifting of the stem. TW is characterized by increased cambial growth, reduced vessel frequency and diameter, and the presence of ...
