HSC-Derived Fatty Acid Oxidation in Steady-State and Stressed Hematopoiesis

The broad definition of metabolism is the sum of biochemical processes that generate or consume energy in a living organism. This is a vast amount: more than 8,700 reactions and 16,000 metabolites [1]. Pathways utilizing abundant nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fatty acids (FAs), and amino acids, are the basis of core metabolism and are vital for energy homeostasis. Cells utilize these nutrients for energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), primarily generated by aerobic respiration using glucose as the metabolite [2].
