Microfibril orientation dominates the microelastic properties of human bone tissue at the lamellar length scale. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The elastic properties of bone tissue determine the biomechanical behavior of bone at the organ level. It is now widely accepted that the nanoscale structure of bone plays an important role to determine the elastic properties at the tissue level.

Bioactive compounds in insects—Composition, extraction, functionality, food applications, and safety concerns

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes 94 studies (2000–2025) exploring edible insects as sustainable sources of peptides, lipids, and chitin. Utilizing “green” extraction, these bioactives offer antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits for functional foods. However, addressing safety concerns like allergenicity and heavy metals through standardized frameworks remains ...

Wood density and microfibril angle from pith to bark of a sugi cultivar (Cryptomeria japonica, Japanese cedar, Tosaaka) grown in a Nelder plot

Journal of Wood Science, 2022
The current stumpage price in harvesting of a 50-year-old sugi (Japanese cedar, Cryptomeria japonica) plantation is not enough to motivate forest owners to reforest. Therefore, it is vital to reduce the cost for reforestation after logging as well as for

Anisotropic Transparency of Alkali‐Treated Wood

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering
This 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

The influence of the microfibril angle on wood stiffness: a continuum micromechanics approach

Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2022
Wood exhibits an intrinsic structural hierarchy. It is composed of wood cells, which are hollow tubes oriented in the stem direction. The cell wall is built up by stiff cellulose fibrils which are embedded in a soft polymer matrix.

Polyphenol dietary supplementation prevents inflammation‐induced muscle atrophy in a zebrafish (Danio rerio) model

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Diet‐induced inflammation is a major cause of muscle degeneration impacting human and animal health. Owing to their anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant properties, polyphenols have attracted considerable interest as feed additives.
