Scientists mapping how nutrients and lipids shape bone marrow blood stem cells from health to aging and leukemia
Researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics in Freiburg and ETH Zürich have created the first integrated map detailing the metabolic and molecular changes in human blood stem cells as they age, specialize, or turn cancerous. Their innovative research identifies the nutrient choline, as a key player in preserving youthful stem cell traits. This study lays the groundwork for future therapies aimed at maintaining stem cell function.
