Cytoplasmic DNA sensors and their regulators.

DNA outside nuclei or mitochondria acts as a DAMP, shaping how cells sense cytosolic DNA and drive tissue‑specific inflammatory responses.

Sperm have long been thought of as streamlined DNA delivery vehicles, carrying little more than a father’s genes to the egg.

But a new study shows that in mice, sperm may transmit the father’s influence in another way.

During their passage through the epididymis, the coiled tube where they mature after leaving the testes, sperm pick up messenger RNAs (mRNAs), RNA transcripts of genes that contain the genetic instructions for making proteins.

These mRNAs seem to be transferred to the fertilized egg, where they may affect the developing embryo.

NIH-funded studies of “SuperAgers” found links between new neuron creation and exceptional memory in older adults.

The study’s insights could help lead to future therapies that boost memory, support healthy brain aging, and prevent Alzheimer’s and related dementias.

In a new Science study, researchers report that specific regions dense in cytosine and guanosine dinucleotides are epigenetically modified during inflammation to enable gene expression and that these changes persist during the animal’s lifetime.

The finding has implications for understanding how the genome determines the longevity of memory, which affects tissue fitness.
