DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7050
Abstract: Abstract The insect cuticle is the interface between internal homeostasis and the often harsh external environment. Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are key constituents of this hard cuticle and are associated with a variety of functions including… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/pmic.201700368
Abstract: The cuticle is a biological composite material consisting principally of Nâacetylglucosamine polymer embedded in cuticular proteins (CPs). CPs have been studied and characterized by mass spectrometry in several cuticular structures and in many arthropods. Such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.01.031
Abstract: Arthropod cuticle has extraordinary properties. It is very stiff and tough whilst being lightweight, yet it is made of rather ordinary constituents. This desirable combination of properties results from a hierarchical structure, but we currently… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2021.109715
Abstract: Many species have cuticular striations that play a range of roles, from pollinator attraction to surface wettability. In Hibiscus trionum, the striations span multiple cells at the base of the petal to form a pattern… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fishres.2019.105467
Abstract: Abstract Until recently it was not thought possible to directly and accurately age crustacean species as any calcified structure that could preserve a record of chronological age is lost at moulting. Recent research has suggested… read more here.
