By regulating the chromosome axis component and meiotic HORMAD, HIM-3, the conserved AAA-ATPase PCH-2 controls the number and distribution of meiotic recombination events.
Inhibition of nonsense-mediated decay turns immunologically cold tumors hot by increasing the amount of mutant RNA leading to an increase in T-cell-targetable neoantigens on the cell surface.

The Mediator-associated kinases CDK8 and CDK19 help drive inflammatory responses to interferon, and it is discovered that kinase-dependent transcriptional responses manifest in part through splicing changes and lipid metabolites.
Specialized magnetic beads that bind target proteins to a cryogenic electron microscopy grid make it possible to study the structure of protein complexes from dilute samples.

Evidence is provided suggesting that heterochromatin re-organisation during cell senescence can compromise the structural integrity of the nucleus, leading to activation of an inflammatory process.
