Corneal characteristics in children with Marfan syndrome with or without ectopia lentis [PDF]
Pediatr InvestigChildren with Marfan Syndrome who have dislocation of the natural lens of the eye also have abnormalities of eye shape and size. These abnormalities are not apparent in Marfan's children who do not have lens dislocation, implying that the children with lens dislocation have a more severe genetic defect of fibrillin proteins.

P10.05 REDUCED MOLECULAR FLEXIBILITY IN THE LARGE ARTERIES OF DIABETIC RATS
Artery Research, 2009 In Type 1 and 2 diabetes tissue stiffening is evident from measurements of the gross mechanical properties of the vasculature. In general, pathological glycosylation of extracellular matrix proteins may play an important role in increasing stiffness in ...

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.This study explores the potential of locally harvested Phallusia mammillata, a tunicate usually discarded as waste from mussles farming as a viable source for producing various high‐grade cellulose derivatives in the form of nanofibrils (NFC) and nanocrystals (CNC). Abstract Ascidians are ubiquitous filter‐feeding marine invertebrates, the only animals

Microfibrillated Cellulose Suspension and Its Electrorheology [PDF]
Polymers, 2019 Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) particles were synthesized by a low-pressure alkaline delignification process, and their shape and chemical structure were investigated by SEM and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, respectively. As a novel electrorheological (ER) material, the MFC particulate sample was suspended in insulating oil to ...
