Abstract
Templeman et al. describe how the transcription factor CREB regulates reproductive aging. In the hypodermis, a Caenorhabditis elegans metabolic tissue, CREB acts downstream of TGF-β Sma/Mab signaling to control oocyte quality maintenance and the rate of reproductive decline. CREB exerts these effects via Hedgehog-related WRT-10 and germline Patched-related receptors.
