Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Beauveria bassiana holds promise as a feasible biological control agent for tick control. The B. bassiana stress–response transcription factor Msn2 is known to contribute to fungal growth, conidiogenesis, stress–response and virulence towards insects ...

Mechanism of Cuticle Hole Development in Human Hair Due to UV-Radiation Exposure
Cosmetics, 2018 Hair is easily damaged by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, bleaching agents or permanent wave treatments, and as damage progresses, hair loses its gloss, develops split ends and breaks.

Direct Evidence for a Radial Gradient in Age of the Apple Fruit Cuticle
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The pattern of cuticle deposition plays an important role in managing strain buildup in fruit cuticles. Cuticular strain is the primary trigger for numerous fruit-surface disorders in many fruit crop species.

Genetic variation and potential for genetic improvement of cuticle deposition on chicken eggs
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2019 Background The cuticle is an invisible glycosylated protein layer that covers the outside of the eggshell and forms a barrier to the transmission of microorganisms.

The astacin metalloprotease moulting enzyme NAS-36 is required for normal cuticle ecdysis in free-living and parasitic nematodes [PDF]
, 2010 Nematodes represent one of the most abundant and species-rich groups of animals on the planet, with parasitic species causing chronic, debilitating infections in both livestock and humans worldwide. The prevalence and success of the nematodes is a direct

Biomineralisation in the Palaeozoic oceans: evidence for simultaneous crystallisation of high and low magnesium calcite by phacopine trilobites [PDF]
, 2012 The chemical composition and microstructure of the calcite cuticles of eleven species of phacopine trilobites have been investigated by electron beam imaging, diffraction, and microanalysis, and results reveal that the lenses of their schizochroal eyes ...

The structure of insect cuticles [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B - Biological Sciences, 1947 Abstract The amount of chitin and of protein in the blowfly larval cuticle remains essentially unchanged during the process of hardening and darkening of the puparium. In the formation of the puparium there is a gain of weight of about 6 % over the larval cuticle weight, and this can be accounted for by the incorporation of phenolic ...

A conserved metalloprotease mediates ecdysis in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 2004 Molting is required for progression between larval stages in the life cycle of nematodes. We have identified four mutant alleles of a <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> metalloprotease gene, <i>nas-37</i>, that cause incomplete ...
