The aging transcriptome: a condition-dependent response to a deteriorating soma

Zeeshan Ali Syed, Martin Brengdahl, Vinesh Naresh Shenoi…·Urban Friberg

This study shows that gene expression changes in aging Drosophila are similar to those caused by reduced physiological condition, suggesting aging is a plastic response to somatic decline.

Selective Requirement for Polycomb Repressor Complex 2 in the Generation of Specific Hypothalamic Neuronal Sub-types

Behzad Yaghmaeian Salmani, Brad Balderson, Susanne Bauer…·Stefan Thor

This study shows that while most hypothalamic neurons develop normally without the H3K27me3 epigenetic mark, specific neuronal subtypes are sensitive to its loss.

Early embryonic heat shock induces long-term epigenetic memory by affecting the transition to zygotic independence

Lovisa Örkenby, Signe Skog, Helen Ekman…·Anita Öst

The paper investigates how early embryonic heat shock in Drosophila affects sncRNA expression and long-term epigenetic memory through miRNA and Elba1 interactions.
