Transgenerational inheritance of longevity: epigenetic mysteries abound.

Abstract:

:Transgenerational inheritance of epigenetic characteristics in plants has been reported, whereas nongenetic persistence of complex phenotypes in animals is controversial. A recent report by Anne Brunet and colleagues describes a fascinating example of persistence across generations of extended life span in worm and explores whether epigenetic mechanisms account for the longevity.

  • Metabolic switches linked to pluripotency and embryonic stem cell differentiation.

    abstract::Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) manifest a unique metabolism that is intimately linked to their pluripotent state. In this issue, Moussaieff et al.
