Anisotropic Transparency of Alkali‐Treated Wood
Macromolecular Materials and EngineeringThis study elucidates the mechanism by which alkali treatment enhances the transparency of delignified wood, with a focus on the cellulose microfibril skeleton. Following delignification, the resulting material remains translucent due to light scattering

Nanomechanics of collagen microfibrils [PDF]
Muscle Ligaments and Tendons Journal, 2013 Collagen constitutes one third of the human proteome, providing mechanical stability, elasticity and strength to organisms and is thus the prime construction material in biology. Collagen is also the dominating material in the extracellular matrix where its stiffness controls cell differentiation, growth and pathology.

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 ...

Microfibril-associated protein 5 and the regulation of skin scar formation
Scientific Reports, 2023 Many factors regulate scar formation, which yields a modified extracellular matrix (ECM). Among ECM components, microfibril-associated proteins have been minimally explored in the context of skin wound repair.

Fibrillin microfibrils in bone physiology [PDF]
Matrix Biology, 2016 The severe skeletal abnormalities associated with Marfan syndrome (MFS) and congenital contractural arachnodactyly (CCA) underscore the notion that fibrillin assemblies (microfibrils and elastic fibers) play a critical role in bone formation and function in spite of representing a low abundance component of skeletal matrices.

The in silico study of the COBRA gene family in sugarcane related to potential biomass content
Menara Perkebunan, 2022 Sugarcane (Saccharum sp.) is potential as a biofuel and biomaterial source for its high cellulose content. Cellulose is the main constituent of the plant cell wall, as a linear chain arranged in a polysaccharide bundle, called cellulose microfibril.
