cuticle development involved in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle molting cycle
cuticle development involved in collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle molting cycle
Synthesis and deposition of a collagen and cuticulin-based noncellular, hardened, or membranous secretion from an epithelial sheet, occurring as part of the molting cycle. An example of this process is found in Caenorhabditis elegans.
