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 ...

A side-by-side microscopic image of cellulose diacetate foam before and after 36 weeks in seawater. The team found that cellulose diacetate foams lost 65-70% of their original mass.

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 ...
