Cellulose is one of the main load bearing components of this complex, heterogeneous structure, and in this way, is an important regulator of cell wall growth and mechanics. Glucan chains of cellulose ...
Rice straw has complex and heterogenous structure in which cellulose fibers are clumped with lignin and hemicellulose and thus a complex set of physical, chemical and biological pretreatments are ...
A biomaterial that can mimic certain behaviors within biological tissues could advance regenerative medicine, disease modeling, soft robotics and more, according to researchers.
Glucomannan is the main cellulose-interacting polysaccharide in softwoods, but the importance of structure for cellulose-glucomannan interaction has not been investigated. Here, the authors reveal ...
Ideally, any wood in a structure should be at least 6 inches above the soil. Repaint any wood that is close to the ground every few years to prevent moisture intrusion. Do not bury any wood materials ...
Tissue engineering utilizes 3D printing and bioink to grow human cells on scaffolds, creating replacements for damaged tissues like skin, cartilage, and even organs. A team of researchers led by ...
