The thing that drives caterpillars (and other flying insect larvae) to stop feeding their faces, settle down somewhere safe, and pupate, is the hormone ecdysone.

Researchers at the Federal Institute of Paraná optimized a green extraction technique to extract β-ecdysone from Pfaffia glomerata; The study found that the stem of the plant had the highest yield of ...

Lorsque l'ecdysone atteint un certain niveau de concentration, la glande n'a plus besoin de ces informations nutritionnelles pour prendre des décisions et commence à s'autoréguler.

But once ecdysone reaches a certain level, the gland no longer needs that nutritional information to make decisions and starts regulating itself.

Lack of a sleep-promoting effect of ecdysone on lsd-2 mutants, together with bidirectional effects of ecdysone on LDs, indicate strongly that ecdysone regulates sleep through lipid droplets in glial ...

"This ecdysone hormone and the receptor protein, they're not present in any vertebrates so fish, birds, mammals, people, we don't use ecdyson and so by default makes our system much safer for ...

And every insect that Yamanaka has tested also possesses the ecdysone transporter that he found in 2018, plus a few more found in a new study. But in this new study, he found mosquitoes to be ...
