During the process of regeneration, a switch in the transcription program occurs in cells that contribute to the reconstruction of the missing tissue. Early signals released upon damage are integrated into the chromatin of responding cells to change its activity and function. Changes in chromatin dynamics result in transcriptional reprogramming, this is the coordinated regulation of expression of a specific subset of genes required for the regeneration process. Here we summarize changes in gene expression and chromatin dynamics that occurs during the process of regeneration of Drosophila imaginal discs.

Infectious diseases drive wild plant evolution and impact crop yield. Plants, like animals, sense biotic threats through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Overly robust immune responses can harm plants; thus, understanding the tuning of defense response mechanisms is crucial for developing pathogen-resistant crops.

Although epigenetic modification has long been recognized as a vital force influencing gene regulation in plants, the dynamics of chromatin structure implicated in the intertwined transcriptional regulation of duplicated genes in polyploids have yet to be understood. Here, we document the dynamic organization of chromatin structure in two subgenomes of allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) by generating 3D genomic, epigenomic and transcriptomic datasets from 12 major tissues/developmental stages covering the life cycle. We systematically identify a subset of genes that are closely associated with specific tissue functions.

The dynamic organization of chromatin plays an essential role in the regulation of genetic activity, interconverting between open and compact forms at the global level. The mechanisms underlying these large-scale changes remain a topic of widespread interest. The simulations of nucleosome-decorated DNA reported herein reveal profound effects of the nucleosome itself on overall chromatin properties.

Chromatin remodeling plays a pivotal role in the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), but the precise mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we elucidated the critical function of staphylococcal nuclease and tudor domain-containing 1 (SND1) in modulating chromatin dynamics, thereby driving ESCC progression in both in vitro and in vivo models. Our data revealed that SND1 was markedly overexpressed in ESCC cell lines.

The physical organization and properties of chromatin within the interphase nucleus are intimately linked to a wide range of functional DNA-based processes. In this context, interphase chromatin mechanics - that is, how chromatin, physically, responds to forces - is gaining increasing attention. Recent methodological advances for probing the force-response of chromatin in cellulo open new avenues for research, as well as new questions.
