Anaemia associated with chronic kidney disease results from impaired function of renal erythropoietin-producing cells (REPCs), leading to insufficient erythropoiesis. Now research suggests a mechanistic role for epigenetic changes in the reduced function of REPCs in fibrosis and demonstrates that targeting these changes can restore erythropoietin
