Tissue and organ-specific adult stem cells degenerate progressively with age, resulting in compromised tissue homeostasis and occurrence of aging-associated diseases. Epigenetic mechanisms play a key role in controlling individual as well as stem cell aging by the regulation of global and/or specific gene expression. Here, we summarize the recent findings on how epigenetic modifications especially DNA methylation and histone modifications regulate stem cell fate during aging, which may open a promising avenue towards achieving the goal of healthy aging.
