Twisted structures are ubiquitous in plants and animals. Cellulose and chitin are natural
polymers that form the structural skeleton of various twisted systems observed across …

In this paper, the methods of compensation of differences in the results of entire bending-
fatigued fracture surface topographies were presented. The roughness evaluation was …

Many biological species combine the helical organization of cellulose or chitin microfibrils
with broadband light absorption of black melanin to produce brilliant structural colors with …

Simple Summary To understand the mechanisms underlying the recognition of susceptible
hosts by entomopathogenic fungi, it is critical to decipher the role of their cuticular lipids. The …
