A mouse study in Nature demonstrates durable repression of a gene that has a role in controlling cholesterol levels, achieved without permanent genome editing. 🧪
Durable and efficient gene silencing in vivo by hit-and-run epigenome editing - Nature
Experiments in mice show that designed epigenome editors that contain domains of transcriptional repressors can enable stable epigenetic silencing of Pcsk9, a gene with a role in cholesterol homeostas...

This resonated with me as I attempted to dust off the vocal cords for this carols season! Not the most attractive sounds. Will have to build up my muscles for next year!
A study in Nature Communications shows that zebra finches need daily singing exercise to build and maintain peak vocal muscle performance. Lack of exercise alters vocal muscle physiology and reduces attractiveness to females. go.nature.com/3vbYz9Q 🧪
