Stronger cellulose microfibril network structure through the expression of cellulose-binding modules in plant primary cell walls

, 2019
Cellulose-binding modules (CBMs) are non-catalytic domains typically occurring in glycoside hydrolases. Their specific interaction with diverse polysaccharides assists hydrolysis by the catalytic subunits. In this work, we have exploited the interactions

Structure of cellulose microfibrils in primary cell-walls from collenchyma [PDF]

, 2013
In the primary walls of growing plant cells, the glucose polymer cellulose is assembled into long microfibrils a few nanometers in diameter. The rigidity and orientation of these microfibrils control cell expansion; therefore, cellulose synthesis is a ...

Bioinspired Regenerative Lignification Enables Ultra‐Hard and Sustainable Bamboo Structural Materials

Exploration, EarlyView.
Developing strong and sustainable materials is essential for reducing reliance on metals and lowering carbon emissions. Inspired by how plants naturally harden their cell walls, we created a rapid process that transforms bamboo into an ultra‐hard structural material by rebuilding lignin‐like networks within its structure.
