Active DNA Demethylation in Plant Companion Cells Reinforces Transposon Methylation in Gametes [PDF]
Intergenerational Transposable Shutdown Transposable elements (TEs) are a potential threat, especially to the germline genome. In many eukaryotes, TEs are shut down by DNA methylation and/or small-RNA–mediated silencing.

A companion cell-dominant and developmentally regulated H3K4 demethylase controls flowering time in Arabidopsis via the repression of FLC expression. [PDF]
Flowering time relies on the integration of intrinsic developmental cues and environmental signals. FLC and its downstream target FT are key players in the floral transition in Arabidopsis.

Summary: Defensive behaviors are evolved responses to threat stimuli, and a potential threat elicits risk assessment (RA) behavior. However, neural mechanisms underlying RA behavior are hardly understood.

Characterization of companion animal pluripotent stem cells [PDF]
AbstractPluripotent stem cells have the capacity to grow indefinitely in culture and differentiate into derivatives of the three germ layers. These properties underpin their potential to be used in regenerative medicine. Originally derived from early embryos, pluripotent stem cells can now be derived by reprogramming an adult cell back to a pluripotent

The companions: regulatory T cells and gene therapy [PDF]
SummaryUndesired immunological responses to products of therapeutic gene replacement have been obstacles to successful gene therapy. Understanding such responses of the host immune system to achieve immunological tolerance to a transferred gene product is therefore crucial.

Vagrant Stem Cells Draft Their Gene Companions [PDF]
In a recent issue of Nature Medicine, Ryan et al. (2010) uncover genetic modifiers of G-CSF responses by hematopoietic progenitors. The authors document a negative role of EGFR signaling and, provided an analogous pathway functions in humans, propose a potential new angle to promote clinical blood stem cell mobilization.

A pocket companion to cell-free DNA (cfDNA) preanalytics
The cumulative pool of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) molecules within bodily fluids represents a highly dense and multidimensional information repository. This “biological mirror” provides real-time insights into the composition, function, and dynamics of the diverse genomes within the body, enabling significant advancements in personalized molecular medicine.

Favipiravir Suppresses Zika Virus (ZIKV) through Activity as a Mutagen
In a companion paper, we demonstrated that the nucleoside analogue favipiravir (FAV) suppressed Zika virus (ZIKV) replication in three human-derived cell lines—HeLa, SK-N-MC, and HUH-7.
