Lignin–Carbohydrate Nano-Sized Structures: An Evidence of Intracellular Lignin Biosynthesis? [PDF]
PlantsThe spatial localization of plant secondary cell wall polymers is a controversial issue. A relief of parallel-organized cellulose microfibrils was discovered, on the surface of which spherical nanoparticles were visualized. Spherical nanoparticles with a

The Diversity of Fibrillin Functions: Lessons from the Periodontal Ligament [PDF]
CellsMarfan syndrome is caused by a mutation in the FBN1 gene encoding fibrillin-1. This extracellular matrix glycoprotein, which assembles into microfibrils, is best known for its scaffolding role in the production of elastic fibers responsible for ...
