Identification and functional characterization of molt-inhibiting hormone in Neocaridina denticulata.
Molting is an essential physiological process in crustaceans and is tightly regulated by neuroendocrine signaling. Molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH) is a key neuropeptide that suppresses ecdysteroid synthesis and orchestrates molting in decapods, yet the tissue-specific transcriptional consequences of MIH signaling reducti...
