What’s Happening

Breaking it down: A longstanding mystery in mosquito biology has been solved, opening a potential new path for controlling mosquitoes and the diseases they spread.

For decades, scientists believed that juvenile hormone, a chemical signal essential for mosquito reproduction, needed two different receptors to work: one inside the cell and another on its surface. (let that sink in)

The internal receptor was identified years ago, but the second remained elusive.
