The molecular architecture of <i>Mamestra configurata</i> Petitrophic Matrix
<p>The peritrophic matrix (PM) lines the insect midgut and is composed of chitin and protein. It is required for organization of digestion and for protection of epithelial cells from mechanical damage, pathogens, and toxins. The PM of <i>Mamestra configurata</i> (Lepidoptera: Noctu...
