New online: Soma-to-germline miRNA inheritance through yolk promotes stress resilience in progeny
Soma-to-germline miRNA inheritance through yolk promotes stress resilience in progeny
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 22 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41594-026-01816-5In this study, the authors use the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to show that maternal microRNAs are delivered from the intestine to embryos by the yolk, where they regulate gene expression and promote stress resilience in offspring.

New online: Yolk transports miRNAs to embryos and enhances progeny stress resilience
Yolk transports miRNAs to embryos and enhances progeny stress resilience
Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, Published online: 27 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41594-026-01822-7This study shows that yolk, a conserved vehicle for nutrient provisioning to developing eggs, also transports regulatory small RNAs, such as microRNAs, from somatic tissues to the germline and embryos. This pathway links the maternal environment to inherited regulatory information and stress resilience in the next generation.
