By using all of the tools to study similar bond lines, the combined results have led us to new insights about the wood--adhesive nanoscale interactions in the microfibril and how to design moisture-durable wood--adhesive bond lines.
In addition, the mechanism of PBT microfibril formation was investigated by sampling at three different sites along the extruder.
This gene contains 66 exons, is located on chromosome 15q21.1 and encodes fibrillin, an important protein of the extracellular matrix, that contributes to the final structure of a microfibril (1, 2).
Conversely, genes related to matrix metallopeptidases, such as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 (PTGS1), elastin microfibril interfacer 2 (EMILIN2), procollagen-lysine 2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 2 (PLOD2), and collagen type 18 alpha 1 (COL18A1) were overrepresented in the "HT-29 signature" (Fig.
