Extracellular Vesicles in Arthropods: Biogenesis, Functions, Isolation Methods and Applications
Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2025.ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound nanoparticles secreted by cells that are involved in multiple forms of intercellular communication and show promising potential for biotechnological applications. Arthropod‐derived EV research remains relatively fragmented in contrast to the extensively studied mammalian EV field. In this review,

The effects of temperature and body mass on jump performance of the locust Locusta migratoria [PDF]
, 2013 Locusts jump by rapidly releasing energy from cuticular springs built into the hind femur that deform when the femur muscle contracts. This study is the first to examine the effect of temperature on jump energy at each life stage of any orthopteran ...

Development and deposition of resilin in energy stores for locust jumping. [PDF]
, 2016 Locusts jump by using a catapult mechanism in which energy produced by slow contractions of the extensor tibiae muscles of the hind legs is stored in distortions of the exoskeleton, most notably (1) the two semi-lunar processes at each knee joint and (2)
