We demonstrate the covalent bonds strategy to enhance the mechanical property of PBIA fiber by using interfacial MXene‐NH2 nanosheets. The MXene‐NH2 nanosheets with reactive amino sites that can serve as nucleating agents and chain anchors to enhance orientation, crystallinity and interchain interaction of PBIA fiber via strong interfacial amido ...

The Supramolecular Organization of Fibrillin-Rich Microfibrils [PDF]
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 ...

Thermally Processable, Transparent, Mechanically Tunable and Robust Bioplastics From Wastepaper
Unlike conventional inefficient or low‐value wastepaper recycling, a directional transformation strategy is employed to convert whole wastepaper into intact bioplastics with tunable mechanical properties in our work. These bioplastics can be processed into flexible bags or rigid containers and exhibit high transparency, water resistance, repairability,

A Natural LTR Retrotransposon Insertion in the Promoter of GhNAC140-Dt Boosts Cotton Lint Yield. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Transposable elements (TEs) are fundamental drivers of crop evolution and domestication. Whereas the underlying mechanisms of TE‐mediated gene activation remain poorly understood. Lint percentage is an important yield component in cotton. Here, we report a retrotransposon insertion in the promoter of GhNAC140‐Dt, a secondary wall NAC encoding ...

The fibrillin microfibril scaffold: A niche for growth factors and mechanosensation?
The fibrillins, large extracellular matrix molecules, are polymerized to form "microfibrils." The fibrillin microfibril scaffold is populated by microfibril-associated proteins and by growth factors, which are likely to be latent.

The Microfibril-Associated Glycoproteins (MAGPs) and the Microfibrillar Niche
The microfibril-associated glycoproteins MAGP-1 and MAGP-2 are extracellular matrix proteins that interact with fibrillin to influence microfibril function.
