In many animals, having many offspring is linked to a shorter #lifespan. A study shows that queen ants exhibit high metabolism for reproduction without undergoing #aging by generating an anti-insulin protein that blocks only part of the #insulin pathway. An insulin-suppressing protein may be the fountain of youth for ants and provides clues about aging in other species, according to a study led by New York University researchers. Published in Science, the study shows that que
