Abstract

Longevity and stress resilience require precise coordination of gene expression programs across tissues. Here, we demonstrate that overexpression of the chromatin reader

Research summary

The paper claims that neuronal expression of bromodomain proteins regulates systemic protein homeostasis and longevity. This represents a minor, incremental advance in understanding tissue-specific chromatin regulation of aging, lacking the surprising or transformative nature required for higher impact scores.
