A team has identified a protein that modifies the cellular machinery responsible for producing cellulose, which could inform the design of more stable, cellulose-enriched materials for biofuels and ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...

Cellulose - an integral component of plant cell walls - is an important source of food, paper, textiles and biofuels, but how its creation is regulated within plant cells has remained unclear. Now, a ...

A single wood cell wall is constructed from fibers of cellulose — nature’s most abundant polymer, and the main structural component of all plants and algae. Within each fiber are reinforcing cellulose ...

Researchers have successfully uncovered the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial cellulose patches stimulate the regeneration of plant wounds. The regeneration process requires the activation of ...

Researchers developed a plant based plastic that stays strong during use but dissolves safely in seawater, leaving no ...

A large-scale fabrication of cellulose glitter has been developed which is biodegradable and plastic-free, meaning the shiny stuff can be made from your fruit bowl! It’s that time of year again when ...

SAGUENAY, QC, April 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Resolute Forest Products Inc. today held a ceremony to inaugurate its new commercial-scale plant for the production of cellulose filaments at its Kénogami ...

Artistic rendering of cellulose regenerating on a plant protoplast cell surface with zoomed out view. Cellulose is synthesized by plasma membrane-bound enzyme complexes (green) and assembles into a ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Cellulose — an integral component of plant cell walls — is an important source of food, paper, textiles and biofuels, but how its creation is regulated within plant cells has ...

A new woody composite is tough as bone and hard as aluminum, and might pave way for naturally derived plastics. The strongest part of a tree lies not in its trunk or its sprawling roots, but in the ...
