Mechanical properties significantly affect the interaction of biological materials during development.
Findings indicate how stiffness influences surface buckling in living systems through de novo material synthesis.
The study employs quantitative analysis of cuticle properties to establish connections between stiffness and mechanical behavior.
Understanding these properties may have broader implications for material design in biological contexts.

Implication

Analysis identifies stiffness in layered living systems, suggesting its role in surface buckling.

Abstract

Development of a living organism is a highly regulated process during which biological materials undergo constant change. De novo material synthesis and genetically-regulated changes in mechanical properties of materials are...
