Our new @Cell_Metabolism study proposes a mechanistic connection between molecular remodelling in development & aging. We uncovered a common transcription factor pattern linked to chromatin remodelling in organismal maturation & aging. Link Thread 🧵👇1/10

Thanks! We provide compelling data that “cell identity loss” in aging represents the hijacking of a developmental mechanism via epigenetic de-repression of AP-1 rich regulatory elements. The resulting predictable transcription factor network changes may drive many aging.

[NEW] Christian Nefzger's lab @IMBatUQ.reveals how chromatin remodeling driven by the AP-1 pioneering transcription factor supports cell maturation. Beware o' the mechanism pirated during #aging to induce the appearance of age-related phenotypes! 🏴‍☠️

Excited that Channel 7 & 9 covered our @Cell_Metabolism study along with 62 news outlets. It suggests AP-1-linked chromatin opening drives organismal maturation across cell types by disrupting the activity of 'early-life' gene regulatory elements—a mechanism hijacked in aging via.
