Muscle attachment related to cuticle architecture in Apterygota.
TLDR
The structures described in regions of muscle attachment in Apterygota are similar to those recorded for other arthropods and appear to be cytoskeletal in function.Citations

Cytoskeletal role in the contractile dysfunction of hypertrophied myocardium.
TL;DR: Pressure loading increased the microtubule component of the cardiac muscle cell cytoskeleton, which was responsible for the cellular contractile dysfunction observed, which may have significance for the deterioration of initially compensatory cardiac hypertrophy into congestive heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Drosophila PS2 antigen is an invertebrate integrin that, like the fibronectin receptor, becomes localized to muscle attachments
TL;DR: It is suggested that PS2, like vertebrate fibronectin receptors, mediates changes in cell shape and cell-extracellular matrix adhesion by binding to a basement membrane protein.

Intercellular Junctions in Insect Tissues
Nancy J. Lane,Helen IeB. Skaer +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter reviews the development of intercellular junctions in insect tissues and investigates whether there are some other functions performed by any given junction in addition to that of holding cells together.

THE USE OF LEAD CITRATE AT HIGH pH AS AN ELECTRON-OPAQUE STAIN IN ELECTRON MICROSCOPY
TL;DR: The stain reported here differs from previous alkaline lead stains in that the chelating agent, citrate, is in sufficient excess to sequester all lead present, and is less likely to contaminate sections.

The fine structure of the gastric mucosa in the bat.
Susumu Ito,Robert J. Winchester +1 more
TL;DR: The fine structure of the various cell types in this species is fundamentally similar to that of the corresponding cell types of other mammals, but the relative cell numbers and distribution are somewhat different.

STUDIES ON THE MICROTUBULES IN HELIOZOA : II. The Effect of Low Temperature on These Structures in the Formation and Maintenance of the Axopodia
Lewis G. Tilney,Keith R. Porter +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the microtubules may be instrumental not only in the maintenance of the axopodia but also in their growth, if the micro Tubular units of Actinosphaerium nucleofilum are destroyed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pore canals and related structures in insect cuticle.
TL;DR: The fine structure and the distribution of an esterase have been studied in the cuticle of Galleria larvae, Tenebrio larvae and pupae, and in the wax-secreting cuticles of the honey bee, and compared with those in thecuticle of the caterpillar of Calpodes.
