Resolving Discrepancies in Wood Micromechanics: Strain-Mapped Compression of Tracheid Wall Micropillars [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Wood's increasing role as a structural resource in sustainable materials selection demands accurate characterization of its mechanical behavior. Its performance arises from a hierarchical structure, where the dominant load-bearing component is the S2 layer of tracheid cell walls-a thick, fiber-reinforced composite of cellulose microfibrils embedded in ...

Collablots: Quantification of Collagen VI Levels and Its Structural Disorganisation in Cell Cultures From Patients With Collagen VI‐Related Dystrophies

open access: yesNeuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, Volume 51, Issue 3, June 2025.
The diagnosis of collagen VI‐related dystrophies requires the confirmation of collagen deficiency in conjunction with genetic analysis. However, there are no standardised methods for quantifying collagen in patient samples. A collablot is a plate‐based assay that can measure in vitro collagen expression and extracellular matrix disorganisation.

Studies on the Cell Wall Structure and on the Mechanical Properties of Norway Spruce [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The structure and the mechanical properties of wood of Norway spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst.) were studied using small samples from Finland and Sweden. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to determine the orientation of cellulose microfibrils (microfibril ...

Gene regulatory network analysis of silver birch reveals the ancestral state of secondary cell wall biosynthesis in core eudicots

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 2059-2074, June 2025.
Summary The compact genome and lack of recent whole‐genome multiplication (WGM) events make the boreal pioneer tree silver birch (Betula pendula) a promising model for primary and secondary cell wall (PCW and SCW) regulation in forest trees. Here, we constructed regulatory networks through combined co‐expression and promoter motif analysis and carried ...

PtrVINV2 is dispensable for cellulose synthesis but essential for salt tolerance in Populus trichocarpa Torr. and Gray

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 1892-1908, June 2025.
Summary Invertase (EC.3.2.1.26), a key enzyme in sucrose breakdown, is crucial for cellulose synthesis. However, the function of the vacuolar invertase (VINV) in woody plants remains unclear. In this study, transgenic lines of Populus trichocarpa Torr. and Gray were generated to investigate the role of PtrVINV2 in wood formation and under high salinity
