The growing demand for sustainable materials has driven research into natural fibres as eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic counterparts. This study explores the potential of Trianthema portulacastrum fibre, an underutilised natural resource, for sustainable material applications by characterising its chemical, structural, thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties. The fibres were meticulously characterised to evaluate these properties.

The progression of AD tau pathology is thought to be highly stereotyped, which is in part due to the fact that tau can spread between regions via the white matter tracts that connect them. Mathematically, this phenomenon has been described using models of "network diffusion," where the rate of spread of tau between brain regions is proportional to its concentration gradient and the amount of white matter between them.
