Epidermal cell surface structure and chitin-protein co-assembly determine fiber architecture in the Locust cuticle

S. Sviben, O. Spaeker, M. Bennet, M. Alberic, a.-H. Dirks, B. Moussian, P. Fratzl, L. Bertinetti, Y. Politi

This study investigates how epidermal cell surface structure and chitin-protein co-assembly influence fiber architecture in locust cuticle, showing both active and passive processes determine the final arrangement.
