Our data support a paradigm in which aged Treg cells fail to upregulate youthful reparative programs, activate maladaptive responses and consequently exhibit a cell-autonomous impairment in pro-recovery function, which delays resolution from viralinduced lung injury in aged hosts. Gene set enrichment analysis of these genes demonstrated that this methylation-regulated gene expression program was associated with pro-recovery processes and was significantly skewed toward young Treg cells ( Figure 6C) . Combined, these results show that age-related DNA methylation regulates the pro-reparative transcriptional regulatory network during recovery from influenza-induced lung injury. What are the molecular mechanisms underpinning the age-associated Treg cell gain or loss-of pro-reparative function in the lung following influenza infection? ./cache/cord-104030-eb29t38n.txt ./txt/cord-104030-eb29t38n.txt
