Our recent study in Cell Metabolism provides compelling evidence that chromatin accessibility and transcription factor network remodeling in aging reflect the predictable degrading effects of a mechanism initially driving organismal maturation.

Really intriguing model of AP-1 driven aging.

@anshulkundaje.bsky.social @suragnair.bsky.social - thinking of your AP1-related results in the ChromBPNet paper here...
8/9 🧵 Our study indicates that AP-1–linked chromatin opening drives organismal maturation by disrupting the activity of cell identity TFBS-rich early-life REs, thereby progressively shutting down developmental processes to reprogram the transcriptome towards adult tissue function.

Thanks to EpiGenie for an article about our study: "Christian Nefzger's lab reveals how chromatin remodeling driven by the AP-1 pioneer transcription factor supports cell maturation. Beware o' the mechanism pirated during #aging to induce the appearance of age-related phenotypes!" bit.ly/3zOqBux
