Mechanistic exploration of royal jelly production in caged honey bees (Apis mellifera)

Scientific Reports
This study investigates the impact of bee pollen nutrition on the royal jelly production of honey bees (Apis mellifera). Results demonstrate that pollen diet significantly impacts hypopharyngeal gland (HPG) development and the expression of genes ...

Longevity extension of worker honey bees (Apis mellifera) by royal jelly: optimal dose and active ingredient [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
In the Western honey bee, Apis mellifera, queens and workers have different longevity although they share the same genome. Queens consume royal jelly (RJ) as the main food throughout their life, including as adults, but workers only eat worker jelly when

At the brink of eusociality: transcriptomic correlates of worker behaviour in a small carpenter bee

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2014
There is great interest in understanding the genomic underpinnings of social evolution, in particular, the evolution of eusociality (caste-containing societies with non-reproductives that care for siblings).

Adaptaquin is selectively toxic to glioma stem cells through disruption of iron and cholesterol metabolism

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Adaptaquin selectively kills glioma stem cells while sparing differentiated brain cells. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses show Adaptaquin disrupts iron and cholesterol homeostasis, with iron chelation amplifying cytotoxicity via cholesterol depletion, mitochondrial dysfunction, and elevated reactive oxygen species.

Waste management in the stingless bee Melipona beecheii Bennett (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [PDF]

, 2014
Waste management is important in insect societies because waste can be hazardous to adults, brood and food stores. The general organization of waste management and the influence of task partitioning, division of labor and age polyethism on waste ...

Diet and cell size both affect queen-worker differentiation through DNA methylation in honey bees (Apis mellifera, Apidae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Young larvae of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) are totipotent; they can become either queens (reproductives) or workers (largely sterile helpers). DNA methylation has been shown to play an important role in this differentiation. In this study, we examine

Queen signals in a stingless bee: suppression of worker ovary activation and spatial distribution of active compounds

Scientific Reports, 2014
In most species of social insect the queen signals her presence to her workers via pheromones. Worker responses to queen pheromones include retinue formation around the queen, inhibition of queen cell production and suppression of worker ovary activation.

Mechanisms of food provisioning of honeybee larvae by worker bees [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2009
SUMMARY Although it has clearly been demonstrated in previous studies that honeybees inspect their worker brood in a non-random fashion, it is still unclear which signals and cues worker bees use to monitor the nutritional state of their brood.

Patient‐specific pharmacogenomics demonstrates xCT as predictive therapeutic target in colon cancer with possible implications in tumor connectivity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates transcriptomic profiling of matched tumor and healthy tissues from 32 colorectal cancer patients with functional validation in patient‐derived organoids, revealing dysregulated metabolic programs driven by overexpressed xCT (SLC7A11) and SLC3A2, identifying an oncogenic cystine/glutamate transporter signature linked to ...
