The paper identifies HZL-1, an RNA helicase regulated by AMPK, which modulates TOR signaling to maintain germline quiescence during dauer in C. elegans.

Neurons release miRNA/Argonaute-containing exosomes to establish germline stem cell quiescence in response to energy stress.

The paper shows that AMPK regulates small RNA pathways in somatic cells to control germline stem cell quiescence during energy stress in C. elegans.

This paper shows that AMPK in the soma regulates germline stem cell quiescence and integrity through a small RNA pathway in C. elegans during dauer.
