This review paper provides a recent overview of current international research that is being
conducted into the functional properties of cellulose as a nanomaterial. A particular …

The growing bioeconomic demand for lightweight materials with combined sustainability,
large-scale production, ease in functionalization and competitive mechanical properties has …

Peptides and nucleic acids with programmable sequences are widely explored for the
production of tunable, self‐assembling functional materials. Herein we demonstrate that the …

The global incidence of invasive fungal infections (IFIs) has increased over the past few
decades, mainly in immunocompromised patients, and is associated with high mortality and …

Bottom-up synthesis of β-glucans such as callose, fungal β-(1, 3)(1, 6)-glucan and cellulose,
can create the defined compounds that are needed to perform fundamental studies on …

Metal-coordination complexes are attracting increasing attention as supramolecular cross-
linkers to develop polymeric hydrogel networks with tunable and dynamic mechanical …

The sequence, length and substitution of a polysaccharide influence its physical and
biological properties. Thus, sequence controlled polysaccharides are important targets to …

Colloidal cellulose nanoparticles, or nanocelluloses, are derived from natural cellulose
sources in a top-down manner via physical and/or chemical treatments that extract naturally …

Glycoside phosphorylases are enzymes that are frequently used for polysaccharide
synthesis. Some of these enzymes have broad substrate specificity, enabling the synthesis …

Abstract Enzyme-catalyzed iterative β-1, 4-glycosylation of β-glycosides is promising for
bottom-up polymerization of reducing-end-modified cello-oligosaccharide chains. Self …
