Disentangling the aging network of a termite queen

2020-12-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Most insects are relatively short-lived, with a maximum lifespan of a few weeks, like the aging model organism, the fruit-fly Drosophila melanogaster. By contrast, the queens of social insects (termites, ants, some bees and wasps) can live for more than a decade. This makes social insects promising new models in aging research providing insights into how a long reproductive life can be achiev...
