Insects cannot metabolise cellulose independently, but the presence of these bacteria allow cellulose to be metabolised into basic sugars.

And you see that patient now six months after with an X ray showing you the regenerated tissue, which is fully regenerated when you analyze it under the microscope.

From 1845 (when this was discovered by Schmidt) until 1958 (when cellulose fibres were found in mammalian connective tissue), ascidians were believed to be the only animals that synthesised cellulose.

The hydroxyl groups on the cellulose are reported to help stabilize the particles.

As often only a single cell is transformed with genetic material the organism must be regenerated from that single cell.

It's bringing the cells into the body. It's allowing the cells to regenerate new tissue, and once the tissue is regenerated the scaffold goes away.

Bacterial cellulose is actually already being used for wound healing, and possibly in the future for biocompatible blood vessels, possibly even replacement bone tissue.

I'm essentially using a kombucha recipe, which is a symbiotic mix of bacteria, yeasts and other micro organisms, which spin cellulose in a fermentation process.

Although receptor cells can be regenerated from the adjacent supporting Deiters cells after injury in birds, reptiles, and amphibians, in mammals it is believed they can be produced only during embryogenesis.

A third class of dietary material, fiber (i.e., non digestible material such as cellulose), seems also to be required, for both mechanical and biochemical reasons, though the exact reasons remain unclear.

Finally, I came to know it is a special cellulose derived from a pinewood, but even after that, you need a multimillion dollar plant like this to process that material. Again, a stop up.

Now, spray foam is an excellent insulator it fills in all the cracks but it is pretty high embodied energy, and, sprayed in cellulose or blue jeans is a much lower energy alternative to that.

Given that bioplastics are produced from renewable or bio based sources (cellulose, starch, and glucose) and, in some cases, through microbial fermentation they have a lower carbon footprint, contribute less to global warming, and biodegrade to small molecules.
