Abstract

This book chapter will focus on modifications to chromatin itself, how chromatin modifications are regulated, and how these modifications are deciphered by the cell to impact aging. In this chapter, we will review how chromatin modifications change with age, examine how chromatin-modifying enzymes have been shown to regulate aging and healthspan, discuss how some of these epigenetic changes are triggered and how they can regulate the lifespan of the individual and its naïve descendants, and speculate on future directions for the field.
