Estimation of direct and indirect polygenic effects and gene–environment interactions using polygenic scores in case–parent trio studies

PGS-TRI, a framework designed for analyzing polygenic scores in case–parent trio studies, allows estimation of the risk of an index condition associated with direct and indirect polygenic effects and related gene–environment interactions.

Distinct repair outcomes from single and convergent replication fork collapse

Here the authors show that collapse of single replication forks causes recombination, end fusions or degradation but does not restart DNA synthesis. In contrast, collapse of convergent forks completes DNA synthesis through error-prone double-strand break repair.

Scientists Solve a 25-Year Mystery in RNA Interference

For more than 20 years, scientists have understood that cells rely on RNA interference to regulate gene expression. Yet how the molecular complex...

Soma-to-germline miRNA inheritance through yolk promotes stress resilience in progeny

In this study, the authors use the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to show that maternal microRNAs are delivered from the intestine to embryos by the yolk, where they regulate gene expression and promote stress resilience in offspring.

Tumor irradiation promotes antigen dressing of dendritic cells to enhance CAR T cell persistence and efficacy in lung metastases

Ahmed and colleagues show that, by promoting ‘dressing’ of intact tumor target antigens onto dendritic cells, tumor irradiation enhances chimeric antigen receptor T cell persistence and efficacy in lung metastasis models.

Non-Mendelian inheritance of DNA methylation patterns in mice

Davidovich et al. investigate allele-specific DNA methylation inheritance patterns in mouse liver and muscle. Most patterns are Mendelian, but ~7% are non-Mendelian, including new imprinted genes and a paramutation at the Capn11 locus.

Coupling dead cell recognition to Fcγ receptors augments anticancer immunity

Castro-Dopico et al. report the design of reagents to bridge F-actin and Fcγ receptors, endowing a range of antigen-presenting cells with the ability to cross-present antigens from dead tumor cells and boosting antitumor immunity in preclinical models.
