Priming and elongation of chitin chains: Implications for chitin synthase mechanism

The Cell Surface, 2019
Most fungi have multiple chitin synthases (CSs) that may make chitin at different sites on the cell surface, at different times during growth, and in response to cell wall stress.

A secreted LysM effector protects fungal hyphae through chitin-dependent homodimer polymerization.

PLoS Pathogens, 2020
Plants trigger immune responses upon recognition of fungal cell wall chitin, followed by the release of various antimicrobials, including chitinase enzymes that hydrolyze chitin.

Robust Bio‐Textiles Via Mycelium‐Cellulose Interface Engineering

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a new class of sustainable textiles by growing mycelium, the root‐like structure of fungi, into cellulose‐based fabrics. This semi‐interpenetrating mycelium‐cellulose fiber network combines the strength and breathability of natural fibers with the water‐resistant and adhesive properties of mycelium, resulting in a robust, scalable,

A Biologically‐Architected Wear and Damage‐Resistant Nanoparticle Coating From the Radular Teeth of Cryptochiton stelleri

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The ultrahard teeth of mollusks that feed on rocky substrates contain a wear‐resistant coating on their surfaces consisting of densely packed mesocrystalline magnetic nanoparticles within an organic matrix. These coatings display significant hardness and toughness through their highly controlled mesocrystalline architectures.

Characterization of Early, Chitin-Induced Gene Expression in Arabidopsis

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2002
Three genes (i.e., a zinc finger protein, a lectin-like protein, and AtMPK3), previously shown to respond to chitin elicitation in microarray experiments, were used to examine the response of Arabidopsis spp. to chitin addition. Maximum induction for all

FGB1 and WSC3 are in planta-induced beta-glucan-binding fungal lectins with different functions [PDF]

, 2019
In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin-like members of the expanded multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially involved in beta-glucan remodeling at the fungal cell wall.

Studies on Chitin. III. Preparation of Chitin Fibers [PDF]

Polymer Journal, 1979
The chitin fiber was obtained from a chitin-formic acid solution which was found to be spinnable. This solution was prepared through repeated freezing process by the addition of dichloroacetic acid and isopropyl ether. Dichloroacetic acid and methanesulfonic acid were also found to be solvents for chitin, though the spinnability could not be observed ...

Advanced Nanoparticle Therapeutics for Targeting Neutrophils in Inflammatory Diseases

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in nanoparticle‐based strategies to modulate neutrophil activity in inflammatory diseases. By targeting inflammatory neutrophils, NET formation, and neutrophil apoptosis or recruitment, these approaches aim to improve therapeutic precision.
