Most of the carbon fixed by plants through photosynthesis is ultimately stored in the cell wall, primarily in the form of polysaccharides such as cellulose, xylan, and glucomannan. Yet how plants ...

Bacterial biofilms are surface-attached communities that are difficult to eradicate due to a high tolerance to antimicrobial agents. The use of non-biocidal surface-active compounds to prevent the ...

Polysaccharides are structurally diverse biopolymers that interact intimately with the colonic mucus barrier, modulating its physicochemical properties and biological functions. This review explores ...

Polysaccharides—long chains of simple sugars—play central roles in biological systems, including supporting cell structure, storing chemical energy, and regulating cell recognition. But synthesizing ...

Professor Iwata Tadahisa et al. of the University of Tokyo have developed an innovative high performance bioplastics from various polysaccharides obtained from natural biomass or by enzymatic ...

Strings of sugars called polysaccharides are the most abundant biopolymers on Earth. Because of their versatile and environmentally friendly properties, these molecules could eventually replace some ...

Bioactive polysaccharides are the primary medicinal components of Dendrobium officinale, yet the transcriptional regulation underlying their biosynthesis has remained largely unclear. A new study ...

SAITAMA, Japan, April 22, 2026 — Most of the carbon fixed by plants through photosynthesis is ultimately stored in the cell wall, primarily in the form of polysaccharides such as cellulose, xylan, and ...
