Epigenetics and Reprogramming in Aging
This track examines how epigenetic changes contribute to aging and how reprogramming strategies may restore youthful function. Topics include DNA methylation, histone modifications, chromatin architecture, and non-coding RNAs as regulators of gene expression over the lifespan. Epigenetics and Reprogramming in Aging the session will discuss epigenetic clocks as quantitative measures of biological age, their development, validation, and clinical utility. Partial cellular reprogramming, transcription factor–based rejuvenation, and small molecule epigenetic modulators will be explored with attention to efficacy, specificity, and oncogenic risk. Emphasis will be placed on mechanistic studies, multi-omics integration, and translational work linking epigenetic remodeling to functional outcomes in tissues and organisms.
