各种各样的外部形态是昆虫进化成功的基础。昆虫的外骨骼或角质层是由表皮产生的细胞外基质，它覆盖整个身体并构成外部形态。角质层在发育过程中是如何形成的？过去的研究主要集中在表皮的图案，分化和形态发生。然而，最近，人们越来越清楚，角质层本身在角质层形状的调节中起着重要而积极的作用。近年来的研究表明，原有角质层可以影响新角质层的形成，角质层可以通过自身的材料特性塑造自身的形状。在这篇综述中，我总结了最近的进展，并讨论了未来的前景。
The wide variety of external morphologies has Underlain the evolutionary success of insects. The insect exoskeleton, or cuticle, which covers the entire body and constitutes the external morphology, is extracellular matrix produced by the epidermis. How is cuticle shaped during development? Past studies have mainly focused on patterning, differentiation and morphogenesis of the epidermis. Recently, however, it is becoming clear that cuticle itself plays important and active roles in regulation of cuticle shape. Studies in the past several years show that pre-existing cuticle can influence shaping of new cuticle, and cuticle can sculpt its own shape through its material property. In this review, I summarize recent advances and discuss future prospects.
