I’ve just done my #eXit! the X exodus is massive. Don't lose any of your followers. Thanks to #HelloQuitX I've registered 2219 new passengers for a journey to #BlueSky & #Mastodon. Join us on app.helloquitx.com and automatically find your communities on #January20!
If you are interested in the story behind our recent study in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, our accompanying Research Briefing discusses the questions that motivated the work, the main findings, their implications, and the path that led us there. @pasteur.fr rdcu.be/flcpv
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 22 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41594-026-01816-5In 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.
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology - Constitutive heterochromatin can promote piRNA transcription, a crucial step in genome defense. Two studies now show that piRNA transcription in...

New online: Yolk transports miRNAs to embryos and enhances progeny stress resilience
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 27 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41594-026-01822-7This study shows that yolk, a conserved vehicle for nutrient provisioning to developing eggs, also transports regulatory small RNAs, such as microRNAs, from somatic tissues to the germline and embryos. This pathway links the maternal environment to inherited regulatory information and stress resilience in the next generation.
