piRNAs regulate a Hedgehog germline-to-soma pro-aging signal
2021-08-09
Abstract excerpt
The reproductive system regulates the aging of the soma through competing anti- and pro-aging signals. Germline removal extends somatic lifespan through conserved pathways including Insulin, mTOR, and steroid signaling, while germline hyperactivity cuts lifespan short through mechanisms that remain elusive. Here, we show that mating-induced germline hyperactivity leads to the dramatic downregulation of piRNAs, whi...
