Juvenile hormone (JH) is a key hormone in regulation of the insect's life history, both in maintaining the larval state during molts and in directing reproductive maturation. This short review highlights the recent papers of the past year that lend new insight into the role of this hormone in the larva and the mechanisms whereby it achieves this role.
保幼激素（JH）是调节昆虫生活史的关键激素，在蜕皮期间维持幼虫状态以及引导生殖成熟过程中均发挥作用。这篇简短综述重点介绍了过去一年的相关论文，这些论文为该激素在幼虫中的作用及其发挥这一作用的机制提供了新的见解。
