Germ cell migration: Unexpected role of juvenile hormone before juvenile stages

Abstract

Juvenile hormone is best known for its role in maintaining juvenile-stage insects in their immature states during postembryonic development. A new study finds an unexpected role for this signaling lipid in guiding primordial germ cell migration during embryogenesis - possibly an ancestral function of isoprenoid signaling molecules.
