Metabolism in HSCs. Quiescent HSCs preferably utilize glycolysis rather than OXPHOS for energy production. During HSC differentiation and maturation, a rapid switch from glycolysis to mitochondrial OXPHOS and ATP generation occurs. Other metabolism pathways, including fatty acid metabolism, purine and amino acid metabolism, and cholesterol metabolism also participate to fine-tune the stemness and cell fate commitments of HSCs.
