Instead of causing immediate sterility, loss of the C. elegans PIWI protein PRG-1 leads to accumulated infertility after tens of generations. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Wahba et al. show that this correlates with aberrant RNA interference pathway-dependent feed forward amplification of ribosomal siRNAs-the proposed accumulative sterility factor.

Watching the watchmen: changing tides in the oversight of medical assistance in dying.

The recent wave of medical assistance in dying legalisation raises questions about proper oversight of the practice as new systems for data collection, case assessment and public reporting emerge. Newer systems, such as in Spain, New Zealand and Colombia, are eschewing the retrospective approach used for case assessment in older systems, particularly those in the Netherlands, Belgium and the USA, in favour of an approach requiring more extensive review prior to the procedure. This shift aims to increase compliance with each jurisdiction's specific safeguards and legal criteria as well as to protect vulnerable patients, but also risks stifling access to the practice and increasing administrative burden on clinicians and patients.

Introduction: Educational supervisors (ESs) play a critical role in the training of Foundation doctors. Many hospital trusts do not currently offer formal mechanisms to ensure the quality of supervision is at a high standard. Our Trust wanted to empower trainees to offer objective feedback on the quality of the supervisors.

Sirtuins (SIRT1-7) are a family of nicotine adenine dinucleotide (NAD)-dependent enzymes that catalyze post-translational modifications of proteins. Together, they regulate crucial cellular functions and are traditionally associated with aging and longevity. Dysregulation of sirtuins plays an important role in major diseases, including cancer and metabolic, cardiac, and neurodegerative diseases.
