Journal ArticleDOI
Starvation-induced transgenerational inheritance of small RNAs in C. elegans
Oded Rechavi,Oded Rechavi,Leah Houri-Zeevi,Sarit Anava,Wee Siong Sho Goh,Sze Yen Kerk,Gregory J. Hannon,Oliver Hobert +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that starvation-induced developmental arrest, a natural and drastic environmental change, leads to the generation of small RNAs that are inherited through at least three consecutive generations, and genes that are essential for this multigenerational effect are defined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal Small RNAs Control Behavior Transgenerationally.
Rachel Posner,Itai Antoine Toker,Olga Antonova,Ekaterina Star,Sarit Anava,Eran Azmon,Michael Hendricks,Shahar Bracha,Hila Gingold,Oded Rechavi +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a neuronal process can impact the next generations, and a small-RNA-based mechanism for communication of neuronal processes transgenerationally is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Regulative Role of Neurite Mechanical Tension in Network Development
TL;DR: This study investigates and validate the important regulative role of mechanical tension in determining the final morphology of neuronal networks and suggests that these findings represent a crucial, early step that precedes the formation of synapses and regulates neuronal interconnections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Process entanglement as a neuronal anchorage mechanism to rough surfaces.
Raya Sorkin,Alon Greenbaum,Moshe David-Pur,Sarit Anava,Amir Ayali,Eshel Ben-Jacob,Yael Hanein +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the roughness of the surface must match the diameter of the neuronal processes in order to allow them to bind, and entanglement, a mechanical effect, may constitute an additional mechanism by which neurons (and possibly other cell types) anchor themselves to rough surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
MET-2-Dependent H3K9 Methylation Suppresses Transgenerational Small RNA Inheritance
TL;DR: It is found that potentiation of heritable RNAi in met-2 animals results from global hyperactivation of the small RNA inheritance machinery, and changes in histone modifications can give rise to drastic transgenerational epigenetic effects, by controlling the overall potency of smallRNA inheritance.
