The Tai Ji symbol from China represents the co‐existence of two opposite substances, similar to quantum entanglement. The term Janus comes from ancient Roman religion and mythology. Janus, the god of beginnings, transitions, etc., has two faces, symbolizing duality. Janus cellulose nanomaterials show structural duality.

Genetic Impacts on the Structure and Mechanics of Cellulose Made by Bacteria
A genetic mutation in a protease of a cellulose‐overproducing evolved bacterium significantly affects the proteome, structure, and mechanical properties of bio‐fabricated cellulose pellicles. By overexpressing synthase proteins that build the cellulose‐forming biological machinery of the cell, the evolved bacterium generates dense, stiff, and strong ...

Ocular Findings as the Most Striking Manifestation of a SMAD3 Variant
ABSTRACT Loeys‐Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a heritable connective tissue disorder with variable expressivity. It is a multisystemic condition mainly characterized by a propensity for arterial aneurysms and dissections, skeletal manifestations, hypertelorism, bifid uvula, craniosynostosis, and cutaneous features.

A finger-jointing model for describing ultrastructures of cellulose microfibrils
In this paper, we propose a finger-jointing model to describe the possible ultrastructures of cellulose microfibrils based on new observations obtained through heating of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs ...
