At the same time, these protective layers must allow sperm entry and gas exchanges. During insect oogenesis most of these layers are deposited by the follicle cells:

The non-living cuticle is replaced during each instar to accommodate growth and development by sequentially degrading the old cuticle and replacing it with a new one. The entire molting

Molecular and Structural Properties of Spider Silk00 million years, spiders have evolved to produce high performance fibers that are uniquely designed to encompass high-tensile strength and toughness. As scientists have pursued a deeper understanding of the biochemical properties of silk, investigators have discovered that spiders are capable of sp

The widely accepted and most well documented function of the . salivary gland is the production of a secretory glue released during pupariation to fix the freshly formed puparia to a substrate. Besides fulfilling this function, which is tightly associated with the
