A study on structural comparisons of α-chitin extracted from marine crustacean shell waste
Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2021 In the present study, chitin was extracted from marine crustacean shell waste (shrimp, crab, squilla and lobster) using traditional chemical methods (deproteinisation and demineralization) and its physicochemical and structural properties were ...

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2016 Crustacean hemocytes are important mediators of immune reactions, and the regulation of hemocyte homeostasis is of utmost importance for the health of these animals. This review discusses the current knowledge on the lineages, synthesis and differentiation of hemocytes in crustaceans.

The “IAG-Switch”—A Key Controlling Element in Decapod Crustacean Sex Differentiation
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020 The androgenic gland (AG)–a unique crustacean endocrine organ that secretes factors such as the insulin-like androgenic gland (IAG) hormone—is a key player in crustacean sex differentiation processes.
