Cell wall digestion of the dinoflagellate Breviolum minutum
The mitigation of coral bleaching requires adaptation of its endosymbionts to rising ocean temperatures, acidity, and ultra-violet radiation. While...

Tracking Cell Wall-Anchored Proteins in Gram-Positive Bacteria
Cell wall-anchored surface proteins are integral components of Gram-positive bacterial cell envelope and vital for bacterial survival in different...
-
A continuum mechanics model of the plant cell wall reveals interplay between enzyme action and cell wall structure
AbstractPlant cell growth is regulated through manipulation of the cell wall network, which consists of oriented cellulose microfibrils embedded...
-
Importance of Cytoskeleton and Cell Wall in Somatic Embryogenesis
Both the cytoskeleton composed of microtubules and actin microfilaments as well as cell wall components such as arabinogalactan proteins and...
-
A self-regulatory cell-wall-sensing module at cell edges controls plant growth
Morphogenesis of multicellular organs requires coordination of cellular growth. In plants, cell growth is determined by turgor pressure and the...

Modifying lignin composition and xylan O-acetylation induces changes in cell wall composition, extractability, and digestibility
BackgroundLignin and xylan are important determinants of cell wall structure and lignocellulosic biomass digestibility. Genetic manipulations that...

Phenolic Compounds from Sour Cherry Pomace: Microencapsulation, in Vitro Digestion, and Cell Growth Activities
The objective of this work was the valorisation of sour cherry ( Prunus cerasus L.) pomace as a source of biologically active compounds. To formulate...

The Architecture and Properties of the Pollen Tube Cell Wall
The pollen tube wall differs in both structure and function from walls of vegetative plant cells. Cellulose represents only a small portion of the...

Ruminant Digestion
This chapter reviews the ruminant digestion with a special emphasis on the mechanical factors, gastro-intestinal tract structure, and nutrient...
-
Digestion and Absorption
Digestion and absorption are essential for multicellular organisms which depend on exogenous nutrition. Digestive and absorptive organs have various...
-
Determination of the Crystal Structure of the Cell Wall-Anchored Proteins and Pilins
Surface proteins and pili (or pilus) anchored on the Gram-positive bacterial cell wall play a vital role in adhesion, colonization, biofilm...

Alkaline Pretreatments for Sorghum and Miscanthus Anaerobic Digestion: Impacts at Cell Wall and Tissue Scales
Lignocellulosic biomass is hardly degraded during anaerobic digestion. Among a large panel of pretreatments used to improve the biodegradability of...
-
Physiology of Digestion
Digestion is a process by which foods are broken down chemically and mechanically into smaller units that can be then absorbed. The organs of...

Molecular-level architecture of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii’s glycoprotein-rich cell wall
Microalgae are a renewable and promising biomass for large-scale biofuel, food and nutrient production. However, their efficient exploitation depends...
-
Forage Consumption and Digestion in the Modern Equids
Equids are herbivores that consume a wide range of plant species and plant parts. They have adaptations of their anatomy, physiology, and...

Xylobiose treatment triggers a defense-related response and alters cell wall composition
Plant cell wall-derived oligosaccharides, i.e., damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), could be generated after pathogen attack or during...
-
Plant, Bacterial, and Fungal Cell Wall-Degrading Enzymes
Most insects have plant material in their diets. Plant cell walls are broken by mastication or under the action of plant cell wall-degrading enzymes....
-
A New Method for Gene Deletion to Investigate Cell Wall Biogenesis in Fusobacterium nucleatum
Controlled septal peptidoglycan hydrolysis is vital for bacterial cell division, preserving cellular integrity and facilitating proper daughter cell...
-
Bioorthogonal Labeling and Click-Chemistry-Based Visualization of the Tannerella forsythia Cell Wall
The objective of this chapter is to provide a detailed protocol for the peptidoglycan (cell wall) labeling of the periodontal pathogen Tannerella...

A vein wall cell atlas of murine venous thrombosis determined by single-cell RNA sequencing
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common clinical problem, but its cellular and molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In this study, we...
