The present disclosure provides methods of controlling the size of cellulose crystals by mixing a first composition comprising cellulose and coagulating this mixture with varying concentrations of hydrogen peroxide.

Methods of modifying cellulose crystallinity

The invention relates to non-woven protein fibers and to methods for forming and producing the same. In certain embodiments, the invention provides a method of processing a protein comprising dissolving a protein in a solution, optionally removing any insoluble materials from the solution, and spraying the solution under an applied pressure. In other embodiments, the protein can be derived from a range of sources, including but not limited to arthropod silks, animal keratin (e.g. hair and wool), tissue elastin, collagen, resilin, and plant protein. In certain embodiments, the methods of the invention are an alternative to electrospinning methods known in the art.

Method of producing non-woven protein fibers

Methods and systems for digitally reconstructing a patient tissue sample are described herein. In one embodiment, the method may include projecting a first structured light pattern onto the patient tissue sample, receiving a first reflection of the first structured light pattern from the patient tissue sample, and reconstructing the patient tissue sample based on the first reflection and the projected first structured light pattern. In another embodiment, the system may include a projector adapted or configured to project the first structured light onto the patient tissue sample, a charge-coupled device (CCD) adapted or configured to receive the first reflection from the patient tissue sample, and a reconstruction device adapted or configured to reconstruct the patient tissue sample based on the first reflection and the projected first structured light pattern.

Noninvasive three-dimensional fluorescence microscopy for skin disease detection

A method of processing a protein in an acid solution is disclosed. The processed protein exhibits various optimized properties including crystallinity, thermal stability, bio-stability, and elastic modulus.
