Excited to share our latest manuscript in @CellCellPress. Here we discovered neuropeptides that specify and reprogram the division of labor in leafcutter ants! penntoday.upenn.edu/news/wha…

What can tiny molecules in ants and naked mole-rats tell us about societal roles? | Penn Today

PIK Professor Shelley Berger and colleagues explored the genetic basis of labor distribution in communal-dwelling species and discovered that pathways dating back hundreds of millions of years are...
