Xylans are the most abundant noncellulosic polysaccharides in lignified secondary cell
walls of woody dicots and in both primary and secondary cell walls of grasses. These …

Background. Patients on kidney replacement therapy comprise a vulnerable population and
may be at increased risk of death from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Currently …

Yeasts, which have been a component of the human diet for at least 7,000 years, possess
an elaborate cell wall α-mannan. The influence of yeast mannan on the ecology of the …

• Xylan structure is known to vary between different tissues and species. 5• The role of xylan
in the plant cell wall is to interact with cellulose, lignin, and hemicelluloses. 6• Xylan …

Mutations of Arabidopsis thaliana IRREGULAR XYLEM8 (IRX8) and IRX9 were previously
shown to cause a collapsed xylem phenotype and decreases in xylose and cellulose in cell …

Molecular epidemiological studies suggest that particular Mycobacterium tuberculosis
strains have an enhanced capacity to spread within a community. One strain, the Beijing …

Secondary walls in vessels and fibers of dicotyledonous plants are mainly composed of
cellulose, xylan, and lignin. Although genes involved in biosynthesis of cellulose and lignin …

Bone tissue mechanical properties are deemed a key component of bone strength, but their
assessment requires invasive procedures. Here we validate a new instrument, a reference …

The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of viruses causing aseptic meningitis,
meningoencephalitis, and encephalitis in Spain. This was a prospective study, in …

The structures of xyloglucans from several plants in the subclass Asteridae were examined
to determine how their structures vary in different taxonomic orders. Xyloglucans, solubilized …
