Lysine-specific demethylase-1 acts as an epigenetic barrier against glucocorticoid-induced atrophy and exercise-induced hypertrophy in skeletal muscle.
The lncRNA landscapes in human germ cells are comprehensively profiled and the functional role of an lncRNA LNC1845 in regulating gene expression of a neighboring coding gene LHX8 is elucidated.

Age-stratified comparisons of gene expression in progeria patient fibroblasts reveals disruption of mesenchymal lineage pathways and points to a deficit in chondrogenic commitment in early development and a depletion of the mesenchymal lineage stem cell pool.
HOTAIR is required in an ongoing manner when it regulates epigenetic status and reprograms cancer cell gene expression in promoting breast cancer metastasis.
Molecular timekeeping in Neurospora crassa is robust even under severe limitation of carbon sources and the efficient adaptation to changing nutrient availability is dependent on the positive component of the circadian clock.

High throughput sequencing of Arabidopsis mutants lacking the U6 snRNA methyltransferase FIONA1/METTL16 uncovers the role of U6 methylation in splicing signal preferences.
LncRNA Neat1, with paraspeckle proteins, controls translational induction of (lymph)angiogenic and cardioprotective factors by the IRES-dependent mechanism in mouse cardiomyocytes submitted to hypoxia.
