Germline stem cell integrity and quiescence are controlled by an AMPK-dependent neuronal trafficking pathway
14 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
During periods of energetic stress, Caenorhabditis elegans can execute a developmentally quiescent stage called "dauer", during which all germline stem cells undergo a G2 cell cycle arrest. In animals that lack AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signalling, the germ cells fail to arrest, undergo uncontrolled proliferation, and lose their reproductive capacity upon recovery from this quiescent stage. These...
