Lifespan prolonging mechanisms and insulin upregulation without fat accumulation in long-lived reproductives of a higher termite
Kings and queens of eusocial termites can live for decades, while queens sustain a nearly maximal fertility. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying their long lifespan, we carried out transcriptomics, lipidomics and metabolomics in Macrotermes natalensis on sterile short-lived workers, l...
