Abstract
Ito et al. (2012) recently report in Nature Medicine that fatty acid oxidation (FAO) regulated by PPARδ controls asymmetric division in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). This metabolic mechanism prevents HSC exhaustion and is downstream of the promyelocytic leukemia protein PML, suggesting therapeutic implications for HSC function and disease.
