title: Regulation of crustacean molting: a review and our perspectives.
abstract: Molting is a highly complex process that requires precise coordination to be successful. We describe the early classical endocrinological experiments that elucidated the hormones and glands responsible for this process. We then describe the more recent experiments that have provided information on the cellular and molecular aspects of molting. In addition to providing a review of the scientific literature, we have also included our perspectives.
