Abstract：
Male pheromones accelerate the development of hermaphrodite larvae in Caenorhabditis elegans, but the importance of this phenomenon is not well understood. A new paper in Development shows that pheromone exposure during larval stage 3 helps coordinate behaviour and development by modulating the timing of the transition to larval stage 4. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author Denis Faerberg who carried out the work in the lab of the corresponding author Ilya Ruvinsky at Northwestern University, USA.
摘要：
雄性信息素加速秀丽隐杆线虫雌雄同体幼虫的发育，但是这种现象的重要性还没有得到很好的理解。《发展》杂志的一篇新论文表明，在幼虫第3阶段接触信息素有助于通过调节向幼虫第4阶段过渡的时间来协调行为和发育。要了解更多关于报纸背后的故事，我们赶上了第一作者DenisFaerberg，他在西北大学的通讯作者IlyaRuvinsky的实验室中进行了这项工作，美国。
