Fibrillin microfibrils: structural tensometers of elastic tissues?

, 2017
Fibrillin microfibrils are indispensable structural elements of connective tissues in multicellular organisms from early metazoans to man. They have an extensible periodic beaded organisation, and support dynamic tissues such as ciliary zonules that ...

Characterization of Structure and Morphology of Cellulose Lyocell Microfibers Extracted from PAN Matrix

Polysaccharides
Polymer matrices can be reinforced with cellulose fillers in a variety of geometric shapes. Depending on the morphology of the particles, the volume fraction of the composite additive may decrease, while the values of the elastic modulus may increase ...

Dissecting the molecular mechanism underlying the intimate relationship between cellulose microfibrils and cortical microtubules

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
A central question in plant cell development is how the cell wall determines directional cell expansion and therefore the final shape of the cell. As the major load-bearing component of the cell wall, cellulose microfibrils are laid down transversely to ...

Eutectozymes as Soft Hybrid Materials for Advanced Biocatalysis

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Eutectozymes are sustainable hybrid materials that embed a GOx–HRP cascade within hydrophobic eutectogels featuring a dual supramolecular–covalent network. This architecture preserves native enzyme structure and stability, enables efficient heterogeneous biocatalysis in aqueous media, and positions eutectogels as robust platforms for next‐generation ...
