DESCRIPTION:How does the Drosophila skin withstand the internal hydrostati
 c pressure? The skin of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster produces an 
 extracellular matrix\, the cuticle that among others serves as an exoskele
 ton withstanding the internal hydrostatic pressure and thereby allowing lo
 comotion. The cuticle elements responsible for this function and their ass
 embly have been unidentified before we stumbled on it. In my presentation\
 , I will report on Alas and Schlaff that are two essential components cons
 tructing and implementing\, respectively\, the skeletal property of the cu
 ticle.
