Extracellular matrixes (ECMs), such as the cell walls and biofilms, are important for
supporting cell integrity and function and regulating intercellular communication. These …

NMR spectroscopy has been applied to cells and tissues analysis since its beginnings, as
early as 1950. We have attempted to gather here in a didactic fashion the broad diversity of …

Plant cell walls constitute the majority of lignocellulosic biomass and serve as a renewable
resource of biomaterials and biofuel. Extensive interactions between polysaccharides and …

Vast efforts have been devoted to the development of antifungal drugs targeting the cell wall,
but the supramolecular architecture of this carbohydrate-rich composite remains …

Chitin is a major carbohydrate component of the fungal cell wall and a promising target for
novel antifungal agents. However, it is technically challenging to characterize the structure of …

Microalgae are photosynthetic organisms widely distributed in nature and serve as a
sustainable source of bioproducts. Their carbohydrate components are also promising …

The cell walls of plants and microbes are a central source for bio-renewable energy and the
major targets of antibiotics and antifungal agents. It is highly challenging to determine the …

Zygomycetous fungal infections pose an emerging medical threat among individuals with
compromised immunity and metabolic abnormalities. Our pathophysiological understanding …

The complex and dynamic compositions of biofilms, along with their sophisticated structural
assembly mechanisms, endow them with exceptional capabilities to thrive in diverse …

Plant cell walls contain cellulose embedded in matrix polysaccharides. Understanding
carbohydrate structures and interactions is critical to the production of biofuel and …
