How sterile workers still manage to pass on “their” genes and evolve!
In their hypothesis article in BioEssays, Downing et al. present a testable hypothesis as to why sterile worker castes evolve, and continue to evolve, in many social insect orders: a hypothesis with implications for understanding longevity in general.
Obese flies: Why are adipokinetic hormone-deficient flies fat?
The adipokinetic hormone (AKH), an insect analog of the human hormone glucagon, is a central regulator of energy homeostasis and lipid mobilization in insects. Silencing of the AKH-receptor leads to fly obesity.
Tissue Tetris – A New Microscale Tissue Assembly Method
A Tetris-inspired approach to fabricate microscale tissue from hydrogel building blocks affords a non-contact assembly method to build complex and reconfigurable 3D architectures.
