Lab-grown mini-brains upgraded
Nature Cell Biology 19, 1010 (2017).
doi:10.1038/ncb3601
Authors: Lin Yang & Huck-Hui Ng
Three-dimensional brain organoid models have come into the spotlight as in vitro tools to recapitulate complex features of the brain. Four recent papers now leverage current technologies to generate new flavours of brain organoids and address aspects of brain biology which, to date, have been challenging to explore.

DNA sensing in senescence
Nature Cell Biology 19, 1008 (2017).
doi:10.1038/ncb3603
Authors: Marina Ruiz de Galarreta & Amaia Lujambio
Cellular senescence, a cell-autonomous growth arrest program, also executes pleiotropic non-cell-autonomous activities through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The innate cGAS–STING DNA-sensing pathway is now shown to regulate senescence by recognizing cytosolic DNA and inducing SASP factors, uncovering an unexpected link between these two previously unrelated pathways.

Enhancing brown fat with NFIA
Nature Cell Biology 19, 1006 (2017).
doi:10.1038/ncb3591
Authors: Suzanne N. Shapira & Patrick Seale
Brown adipose tissue is a key metabolic organ that oxidizes fatty acids and glucose to generate heat. Through epigenomic analyses of multiple adipose depots, the transcription factor nuclear factor I-A (NFIA) is now shown to drive the brown fat genetic program through binding to lineage-specific cis-regulatory elements.
