A set of three papers reports that the piRNA pathway is essential for mammalian female fertility based on genetic perturbation experiments performed in golden hamsters.
Davies et al. demonstrate that androgen receptor–targeted therapy induces lineage-plastic transcriptional reprogramming, which is mediated by EZH2 and favours stem cell and neuronal gene networks in treatment-resistant prostate cancer.

Benham-Pyle et al. present a single-cell analysis of planarian regeneration and identify rare amputation-specific cell states in the muscle, epidermis and intestine that are required for patterning and stem cell proliferation.
Using human airway organoids and mouse models, Choi et al. show that an IL-1β–Notch–Fosl2 signalling axis regulates the conversion of secretory cells into alveolar type 2 cells after injury.
McCarthy, Kaeding et al. identify H3K9me3-heterochromatin proteins that repress heterochromatic genes with implications in hepatic reprogramming and show that ERH is key to global H3K9me3 maintenance in human cells.
Zhao et al. show that ASTE1 is a downstream effector of the shieldin complex, which cleaves the 3′ overhang of DNA double-strand breaks to promote shieldin-dependent non-homologous end-joining.
Using systematic mutagenesis maps, Roberts, Ozkan et al. study how dynamic nucleosome binding of OCT4 modulates chromatin accessibility during cell fate changes and in pluripotency maintenance.
Pierce et al perform genome-wide CRISPR screening and identify LKB1 as a regulator of chromatin accessibility and metastatic progression in lung cancer through a mechanism of SOX17-mediated epigenetic changes.
Zhang et al. report that the systemic mitochondrial unfolded protein response triggered by neuronal mitochondrial stress can be transmitted across multiple generations in Caenorhabditiselegans via a mechanism involving elevation in mitochondrial DNA levels in oocytes.
Soochit et al. report that the residence time of CTCF on chromatin is controlled by its zinc finger 8 domain and determines chromatin organization, DNA methylation and transcriptional robustness in mouse embryonic stem cells.
Claude-Taupin et al. show that ATG9A mediates protection against plasma membrane damage in diverse biological contexts through a mechanism involving IQGAP1 and ESCRTs.
Using gold nanorods and 3D-SPORT to track dynamin-induced fission in live cells, Cheng et al. show that endocytic vesicles undergo a rapid, large rotation before fission, which requires dynamin’s GTPase activity.
Clapes et al. show that chemotherapy leads to chromatin reorganization and increased expression of transposable elements, which promote an MDA5-driven inflammatory response that enhances haematopoietic regeneration.
Koester et al. show that, as hair follicle stem cells age, their ability to activate bivalent genes for self-renewal and differentiation is reduced due to increased niche stiffening and subsequent epigenetic effects.
Wang et al. report that the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2 forms phase-separated condensates to repress K63-linked ubiquitination and aggregation of mitochondrial antiviral-signalling protein, thus suppressing antiviral immunity.
Patankar et al. identify E-type prostanoid receptor 4 as a negative regulator of tumour necrosis factor signalling and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase activation, thereby suppressing necroptosis of intestinal epithelial cells and promoting resolution of intestinal inflammation.
Wang et al. identify CCM3 as a negative regulator of YAP/TAZ activation and mechanotransduction in focal adhesions, with important roles in controlling mesenchymal/stromal stem cell differentiation and metastasis in mouse models of breast cancer.
Gong et al. uncover a role for the Golgi network in ER-associated endosome fission, showing that a Golgi-derived SEC14L2 compartment mediates ER-associated endosome fission by promoting PtdIns4P to PtdIns3P conversion.
