Ageing-related defects in macrophage function are driven by MYC and USF1 transcriptional programmes

Charlotte E. Moss, Simon Andrew Johnston, Joshua V. Kimble…·Endre Kiss‐Toth

This study identifies MYC and USF1 as key drivers of age-related functional decline in human macrophages, showing their role in phagocytosis, migration, and morphology.
