In the broadest sense, metamorphosis is a developmental process by which an immature organism is transformed into a sexually mature adult. In insects, this process is characterized by the degeneration, or remodeling, of larval tissues and formation of the adult tissues from nests of precursor cells localized to specific regions of the larval body. To our knowledge, large-scale analysis of…
Insect cuticle is mainly composed by proteins that interact with chitin, an N-acetylglusamine polimer, to form the exoskeleton that gives support and protects the organism. This hard carcass is periodically renewed at each molt thus permitting insect growth and development. During the molt, the old cuticle is partially digested and subsequently discarded whereas a new cuticle is synthesiz…
