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 ...

Macromolecular crowding enhances fibrillin-1 deposition in the extracellular matrix [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2022 Biochemical and biophysical factors need consideration when modelling in vivo cellular behaviour using in vitro cell culture systems. One underappreciated factor is the high concentration of macromolecules present in vivo, which is typically not ...

Nanostructural deformation of high-stiffness spruce wood under tension
Scientific Reports, 2021 Conifer wood is an exceptionally stiff and strong material when its cellulose microfibrils are well aligned. However, it is not well understood how the polymer components cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin co-operate to resist tensile stress in wood ...

Cellulose biosynthesis in higher plants
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 Knowledge of the control and regulation of cellulose synthesis is fundamental to an understanding of plant development since cellulose is the primary structural component of plant cell walls.

Microfibrillar cardiomyopathy: A rare case
Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology, 2011 Microfibrillar cardiomyopathy is a very rare cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM). The index case was a male patient who presented with shortness of breath and pedal edema. Further clinical investigations favored a clinical diagnosis of RCM.
