🎉New paper out from the lab, led by @baptistepiqueret.bsky.social: ant larvae chemically suppress the reproduction of their caregivers. bit.ly/4t8uZLG An example of how social interactions are regulated at the molecular level. The work was made possible by the unique environment @mpi-ce.bsky.social

A research team from @yukoulrich.bsky.social‘s lab at our institute has identified the first brood pheromone in ants—thereby proving that larvae of clonal raider ants actively influence the colony’s reproduction cycle. www.ice.mpg.de/550783/PR_Pi...

Thrilled to share the first full paper from @AntLabUNAM! 🐜💥 Our paper examines how queen and worker harvester ants differ in ovarian morphology and gene expression, shedding light on the ovary as a hub for multiple physiological systems, not just reproduction. Check it out! rdcu.be/ePNP8

Great article @timemagazine.bsky.social on delaying #menopause. Thanks to the Buck’s Dr. Jennifer Garrison @jennifergarrison.bsky.social on for highlighting the need to preserve #ovarian function for women’s overall health. time.com/7264207/can-... #womenshealth

Can You Actually Delay Menopause?

It's a controversial proposition, but scientists are trying to slow the aging of ovaries.
