DOI: 10.1038/srep46502
Abstract: Insects are enclosed in a rigid exoskeleton, providing protection from desiccation and mechanical injury. To allow growth, this armour needs to be replaced regularly in a process called moulting. Moulting entails the production of a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsfs.2023.0069
Abstract: The mandibles of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria (Forsskål, 1775) are digger-shovel-shaped mouthparts that are part of the locust's exoskeleton formed by the insect cuticle. The cuticle is a polymer–fibre composite, which supports, encases and… read more here.

DOI: 10.2478/aoas-2024-0116
Abstract: Abstract The current study examined the chemical composition of four (4) African adult edible insects: Schistocerca gregaria (desert locust), Encosternum delegorguei (green stinkbug), Macrotermes falciger (soldier termite) and Macrotermes natalensis (winged termite). Fresh insects (1… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms21207518
Abstract: Postembryonic development of insects is coordinated by juvenile hormone (JH) together with ecdysteroids. Whereas the JH early response gene krüppel-homolog 1 (Kr-h1) plays a crucial role in the maintenance of juvenile characteristics during consecutive larval… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/life12030387
Abstract: Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is one of the most important metabolic neuropeptides in insects, with actions similar to glucagon in vertebrates. AKH regulates carbohydrate and fat metabolism by mobilizing trehalose and diacylglycerol into circulation from glycogen… read more here.
