CRYSTALLINE STRUCTURE OF CELLULOSE IN WOOD AFTER CHEMICAL MODIFICATION USING CYCLIC ACID ANHYDRIDES (MALEIC AND SUCCINIC)

Crystalline Structure of Cellulose in Wood after Chemical Modification Using Cyclic Acid Anhydrides (Maleic and Succinic)

The chemical modification of wood can be directed to improve various properties, e.g., the dimensional stability, hardness properties, and/or durability properties, against weathering.In this study, a Romanian softwood species Abies alba L.was treated and chemically modified using two cyclic acid anhydrides, i.e., maleic and succinic, to improve it

The chromatin and single-cell transcriptional landscapes of CD4 T cells in inflammatory bowel disease link risk loci with a proinflammatory Th17 cell population

IntroductionThe imbalance between Th17 and regulatory T cells in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) promotes intestinal epithelial cell damage.In this scenario, Gears T helper cell lineage commitment is accompanied by dynamic changes to the chromatin that facilitate or repress gene expression.MethodsHere, we characterized the chromatin landscape and
