Epigenetic erosion of H4K20me1 induced by inflammation drives aged stem cell ferroptosis
30 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
Aging is characterized by a decline in the functionality and number of stem cells across the organism. In this study, we uncovered a mechanism by which systemic inflammation drives muscle stem cell (MuSC) aging through epigenetic erosion. We demonstrate that age-related inflammation decreases monomethylation of H4K20 in MuSCs, disrupting their quiescence and inducing ferroptosis, a form of iron-dependent cell...
