A somatic piRNA pathway in the Drosophila fat body ensures metabolic homeostasis and normal lifespan

The Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway is known to suppress transposable elements in gonadal tissues. Here the authors provide evidence for a functional piRNA pathway in the somatic cells of theDrosophilafat body with roles in metabolism, immunological function and overall health.
