ABSTRACT
Epigenetics plays a crucial role in gene regulation and cell function without changing the DNA sequence. The process of differentiation in eukaryotes during cellular morphogenesis is a paradigm of epigenetic change; stem cells develop into pluripotent cell lines in the embryo, eventually becoming terminally developed cells. Recently, epigenetic changes were shown to play an important role in immune cell development, activation and differentiation, which impacts chromatin remodeling, DNA methylation, post-translational histone modifications and small or lncRNA engagement. Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are newly identified immune cells that lack antigen receptors. ILCs differentiate from hematopoietic stem cells via multipotent progenitor stages. In this editorial, the authors discuss the epigenetic regulation of ILC differentiation and function.
