Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is usually produced as randomly-organized highly pure cellulose nanofibers films. Its high water-holding capacity, porosity, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility make it unique. Ordered structures are found in nature the properties appearing upon aligning polymers fibers inspire everyone to achieve aligned BNC (A-BNC) This work takes advantage of natural bacteria biosynthesis a reproducible straightforward approach. Bacteria confined statically incubated...
In metazoan cells, DNA replication initiates from thousands of genomic loci scattered throughout the genome called origins. Origins are strongly associated with euchromatin, particularly open regions such as promoters and enhancers. However, over a third transcriptionally silent genes initiation. Most these bound repressed by Polycomb repressive complex-2 (PRC2) through H3K27me3 mark. This is strongest overlap observed for chromatin regulator origin activity. Here, we asked whether...
Abstract Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) is usually produced as films of randomly-organized highly pure cellulose nanofibers and its properties such high water-holding capacity porosity, tunable morphology, mechanical strength, biocompatibility make it a unique material. As result, BNC has attracted interest in the paper food industry, biotechnology, photonics optoelectronics. Ordered structures found nature, reed leaf, potential appearing upon aligning polymers fibers (piezoelectricity,...
