Structural Imaging of Native Cryo-Preserved Secondary Cell Walls Reveals the Presence of Macrofibrils and Their Formation Requires Normal Cellulose, Lignin and Xylan Biosynthesis

But it's also helping scientists to understand the nanostructure of wood - with the aim of creating sustainable building materials. Researchers used a new electron microscopy technique to look at cylindrical structures called macrofibrils in aspen cells.
