Ten principles of heterochromatin formation and function
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 19, 229 (2018).
doi:10.1038/nrm.2017.119
Authors: Robin C. Allshire & Hiten D. Madhani
Heterochromatin is a key architectural feature of eukaryotic chromosomes, which endows particular genomic domains with specific functional properties. The capacity of heterochromatin to restrain the activity of mobile elements, isolate DNA repair in repetitive regions and ensure accurate chromosome segregation is crucial for maintaining genomic (Source: Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology)

doi:10.1038/nrm.2017.115
Author: Julie Soutourina
Alterations in the regulation of gene expression are frequently associated with developmental diseases or cancer. Transcription activation is a key phenomenon in the regulation of gene expression. In all eukaryotes, mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription (Mediator), a large complex with modular organization, is generally (Source: Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology)

Chromatin dependencies in cancer and inflammation
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 19, 245 (2018).
doi:10.1038/nrm.2017.113
Authors: Ivan Marazzi, Benjamin D. Greenbaum, Diana H. P. Low & Ernesto Guccione
Multiple cell-signalling pathways converge on chromatin to induce gene expression programmes. The inducible transcriptional programmes that are established as a result of inflammatory or oncogenic signals are controlled by shared chromatin regulators. Therapeutic targeting of such chromatin dependencies has proved effective for controlling tumorigenesis and (Source: Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology)

Sphingolipids and their metabolism in physiology and disease
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 19, 175 (2018).
doi:10.1038/nrm.2017.107
Authors: Yusuf A. Hannun & Lina M. Obeid
Studies of bioactive lipids in general and sphingolipids in particular have intensified over the past several years, revealing an unprecedented and unanticipated complexity of the lipidome and its many functions, which rivals, if not exceeds, that of the genome or proteome. These results highlight critical (Source: Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology)

Functional 5 ′ UTR mRNA structures in eukaryotic translation regulation and how to find them
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 19, 158 (2018).
doi:10.1038/nrm.2017.103
Authors: Kathrin Leppek, Rhiju Das & Maria Barna
RNA molecules can fold into intricate shapes that can provide an additional layer of control of gene expression beyond that of their sequence. In this Review, we discuss the current mechanistic understanding of structures in 5′ untranslated regions (UTRs) of eukaryotic mRNAs and the emerging (Source: Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology)

The mitochondrial UPR: mechanisms, physiological functions and implications in ageing
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 19, 109 (2018).
doi:10.1038/nrm.2017.110
Authors: Tomer Shpilka & Cole M. Haynes
Mitochondrial function declines during ageing owing to the accumulation of deleterious mitochondrial genomes and damage resulting from the localized generation of reactive oxygen species, both of which are often exacerbated in diseases such as Parkinson disease. Cells have several mechanisms to assess mitochondrial function and (Source: Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology)

The functions and unique features of long intergenic non-coding RNA
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 19, 143 (2018).
doi:10.1038/nrm.2017.104
Authors: Julia D. Ransohoff, Yuning Wei & Paul A. Khavari
Long intergenic non-coding RNA (lincRNA) genes have diverse features that distinguish them from mRNA-encoding genes and exercise functions such as remodelling chromatin and genome architecture, RNA stabilization and transcription regulation, including enhancer-associated activity. Some genes currently annotated as encoding lincRNAs include small open reading frames (Source: Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology)

doi:10.1038/nrm.2017.98
Authors: Benoit Ladoux & René-Marc Mège
The way in which cells coordinate their behaviours during various biological processes, including morphogenesis, cancer progression and tissue remodelling, largely depends on the mechanical properties of the external environment.
