Studying SARS-CoV-2 in organoids. Chen et al. review the emerging roles of complex organoids in the study of SARS-CoV-2 infection, modelling of COVID-19 disease pathology and in drug, antibody and vaccine development.
In this Review, Hurley and colleagues cover the most recent discoveries and the emerging molecular understanding of the mechanisms of autophagosome formation.
Legube and Marnef review the association between R-loops and DNA repair. They discuss how R-loops are formed near DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) and how R-loops affect transcription near DSBs and DSB repair processes.
Karoutas and Akhtar review the roles of the nuclear lamina in chromatin-related functions, including transcription, epigenetic regulation and chromatin architecture, and their abnormalities in diseases and ageing.
Qi and colleagues review CRISPR-based epigenome engineering technologies to modulate histone and DNA modifications and to perturb DNA and RNA regulatory elements and chromatin organization.
