Betti et al. show that plants can take up microRNAs generated by other plants, and that these exogenous miRNAs are active in silencing the expression of their target genes.
tiRNA-containing extracellular vesicles produced by osteoblasts in the bone marrow are taken up by granulocyte–monocyte progenitors, which promotes their proliferation, increasing host immunity.
Tau oligomers bind to m6A-modified RNA transcripts in the cytoplasm via the linker RNA-binding protein HNRNPA2B1; such complexes are found in individuals with Alzheimer disease and are part of a stress response that represses translation.
Suppressing ovulation protects against chromosomal abnormalities in ageing mouse oocytes, which can be partly explained by increasing REC8–cohesin retention on chromosomes.
The pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) involves mechanisms of liquid–liquid phase separation, which can be explored as targets for new antiviral therapeutics.
Apoptotic hair follicle stem cells contribute to tissue regeneration by producing WNT3, which promotes cell proliferation, enlarging the stem cell pool.
In response to replication stress, TOPBP1 is recruited by Treacle to nucleoli, where the two proteins facilitate the stress response and help maintain the transcription of rRNA genes.
Torrino et al. show that the stiffness of the extracellular matrix regulates microtubule posttranslational modification via glutamylation, which impacts microtubule dynamics and cell invasiveness.
Nuclear condensates of m6A-methylated mRNAs with their ‘reader’ YTHDC1 prevent the degradation of acute myeloid leukaemia-promoting mRNAs by the exosome.
The histone reader PHF7 binds to cardiac super-enhancers and is a strong activator of the reprogramming of adult cardiac fibroblasts to induced cardiac-like myocytes.
