The Somatic Reproductive Tissues of C. elegans Promote Longevity through Steroid Hormone Signaling

In Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster, removing the germline precursor cells increases lifespan. In worms, and possibly also in flies, this lifespan extension requires the presence of somatic reproductive tissues. How the somatic gonad signals other tissues to increase lifespan is no...
