Abstract Programmable nucleases can introduce precise changes to genomic DNA through homology-directed repair (HDR). Unfortunately, HDR is largely restricted mitotic cells, and typically accompanied by an excess of stochastic insertions deletions (indels). Here we present in vivo base editing strategy that addresses these limitations. We use nuclease-free install a S33F mutation β-catenin blocks phosphorylation, impedes degradation, upregulates Wnt signaling. In vitro, installs the with 200-fold higher editing:indel ratio than HDR. post-mitotic cells mouse inner ear, injection editor protein:RNA:lipid this mutation, resulting activation induces mitosis cochlear supporting cellular reprogramming. contrast, agents does not induce upregulation.

Dying provide instructive cues that can influence surrounding proliferate, but how these signals are transmitted their healthy neighbors control cellular behaviors during tissue homeostasis remains poorly understood. Here we show dying stem facilitate communication with adjacent by caspase-dependent production Wnt8a-containing apoptotic bodies drive turnover in living epithelia. Basal engulf bodies, activate Wnt signaling, stimulated divide maintain tissue-wide cell numbers. Inhibition either death or signaling eliminated apoptosis-induced division, while overexpression Wnt8a combined induced led an expansion population. We conclude ingestion represents regulatory mechanism linking division overall numbers epithelial homeostasis.
