T cell aging is a complex process combining the emergence of cellular defects with activation of adaptive mechanisms. Generation of T cell memory is impaired, while a low-inflammatory state is induced, in part due to effector T cells. To determine whether age-associated changes in T cell fate decisions occur early after T cell activation, we profiled the longitudinal transcriptional and epigenetic landscape induced by TCR stimulation comparing naive CD4+ T cells from young and older adults. In spite of attenuated TCR signaling, activation-induced remodeling of the epigenome increased with age, culminating in heightened BATF and BLIMP1 activity. Single cell studies, integrating ATAC-seq and RNA-seq data, identified increases in dysfunctional and in effector T cells and a decrease in BACH2-expressing memory cell precursors. STAT5 activation, in part due to a decline in HELIOS and aberrant IL-2 receptor expression, accounted for the induction of transcription factor networks favoring effector cell differentiation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
