Plant cell walls are primarily made of cellulose, which is the most abundant macromolecule on Earth. Cellulose fibers are long, linear polymers of hundreds of glucose molecules. These fibers ...

Can algae-based polymers replace plastic? Discover how renewable, biodegradable materials from algae are reshaping ...

2. The mechanisms that control the intelligent sensing, response and adaptation of living bio-polymer networks. We particularly study how the cooperativity and collective motion within the cell wall ...
