LINE1 is the most active and abundant family of retrotransposons; it is implicated in a number of pathologies, as well as in early embryo development. We present a protocol to specifically knockdown LINE1 in mouse embryonic stem cells and embryos, including details for the nucleofection and zygote microinjection of LINE antisense oligos, followed by RNA FISH validation. This protocol can be used in development, as well as other cell types where LINE1 is believed to be expressed. For complete information on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Percharde et al. (2018).

To propagate their genetic material, flowering plants rely on the production of large amounts of pollen grains that are capable of germinating on a compatible stigma. Pollen germination and pollen tube growth are thought to be extremely energy-demanding processes. This raises the question of whether mitochondria from pollen grains are specifically tuned to support this developmental process.

Hepatic organoid cultures are a powerful model to study liver development and diseases in vitro. However, hepatocyte-like cells differentiated from these organoids remain immature compared to primary human hepatocytes (PHHs), which are the benchmark in the field. Here, we applied integrative single-cell transcriptome and chromatin accessibility analysis to reveal gene regulatory mechanisms underlying these differences.

Protein aggregation is a hallmark of many neurodegenerative disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), in which TDP-43, a nuclear RNA-binding protein, forms cytoplasmic inclusions. Here, we have developed a robust and automated method to assess protein self-assembly in the cytoplasm using microtubules as nanoplatforms. Importantly, we have analyzed specifically the self-assembly of full-length TDP-43 and its mRNA binding that are regulated by the phosphorylation of its self-adhesive C-terminus, which is the recipient of many pathological mutations.

Background: Ferroptosis has emerged as a promising therapeutic target in cancer treatment. CEP55, a key regulator of cell mitosis, plays a significant role in the tumorigenesis of many malignancies. In this study, we elucidated the function of CEP55 in the ferroptosis of breast cancer (BC).
