  1. #InterPlanetary 🪐 #SpaceTravel might get easier

    Mice’s 🐁 organs and tissues resumed a #youthful state.
    The therapy “set in motion an epigenetic program that led cells to restore the #epigenetic information they had when they were #young. It’s a permanent #reset.” hms.harvard.edu/news/loss-epig

  2. Read this study from the labs of Zachary Smith and Alex Meissner on the of the interplay between #Polycomb silencing and #DNAmethylation to maintain gene silencing in extra-embryonic tissues:

    Dynamic antagonism between key repressive pathways maintains the placental #epigenome.

  5. Being able to control not just what genes exist in a genome, but also how those genes are expressed is critical to biological research, including agricultural disease resistance research.

    UCLA and Danforth Center scientists have used an older method of DNA manipulation (zinc finger nucleases) to block a cassava gene exploited by the cassava bacterial blight pathogen.
