Stress‐sensitive dynamics of miRNAs and Elba1 in Drosophila embryogenesis by Lovisa Örkenby, Signe Skog, Helen Ekman, Alessandro Gozzo, Unn Kugelberg, Rashmi Ramesh, Srivathsa Magadi, Gianluca Zambanini, Anna Nordin, Claudio Cantú, Daniel Nätt, Anita Öst

“…Abstract Early‐life stress can result in life‐long effects that impact adult health and disease risk, but little is known about how such programming is established and maintained. Here, we show that such epigenetic memories can be initiated in the Drosophila embryo before the major wave of zygotic transcription, and higher‐order chromatin structures are established. …”
