Histone lactylation encodes innate immune memory in atherosclerosis: a hypothesis of epigenetic bookmarking for residual inflammatory risk
Histone lactylation, particularly H3K18 lactylation (H3K18la), has emerged as a lactate-derived epigenetic modification that links metabolic reprogramming to sustained chromatin states. Here, we advance a hypothesis that the lactate-p300-H3K18la axis functions as an epigenetic memory code, converting transient glycol...
