Direct Measurement of Plant Cellulose Microfibril and Bundles in Native Cell Walls
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Plants use rigid cellulose together with non-cellulosic matrix polymers to build cell walls. Cellulose microfibrils comprise linear β(1,4)-glucan chains packed through inter- and intra-chain hydrogen-bonding networks and van der Waals forces.

The Biomechanics of Fibrillin Microfibrils: Lessons from the Ciliary Zonule [PDF]
CellsMarfan syndrome is an inherited connective tissue disorder that affects the cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and ocular systems. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1).

Resonant soft X-ray scattering reveals cellulose microfibril spacing in plant primary cell walls
Scientific Reports, 2018 Cellulose microfibrils are crucial for many of the remarkable mechanical properties of primary cell walls. Nevertheless, many structural features of cellulose microfibril organization in cell walls are not yet fully described.

Simulation of Adhesive Contact of Soft Microfibrils [PDF]
Lubricants, 2020 Adhesive contact between a flat brush structure with deformable microfibrils and an elastic half space is numerically simulated. The stiffness of pillars is modeled by linear springs.

SANS investigation of fungal loosenins reveals substrate-dependent impacts of protein action on the inter-microfibril arrangement of cellulosic substrates [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels and BioproductsBackground Microbial expansin-related proteins include fungal loosenins, which have been previously shown to disrupt cellulose networks and enhance the enzymatic conversion of cellulosic substrates.

The Supramolecular Organization of Fibrillin-Rich Microfibrils [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2001 We propose a new model for the alignment of fibrillin molecules within fibrillin microfibrils. Automated electron tomography was used to generate three-dimensional microfibril reconstructions to 18.6-Å resolution, which revealed many new organizational details of untensioned microfibrils, including heart-shaped beads from which two arms emerge, and ...

Structure, function and assembly of soybean primary cell wall cellulose synthases [PDF]
eLifePlant cell walls contain a meshwork of cellulose fibers embedded into a matrix of other carbohydrate and non-carbohydrate-based biopolymers. This composite material exhibits extraordinary properties, from stretchable and pliable cell boundaries to solid ...
