Manipulating pyruvate metabolism in stem cells. (A) Small molecules targeting either reductive or oxidative metabolism of pyruvate can be used to rewire stem cell metabolism. (B) Blockade of pyruvate oxidative metabolism may impair cell differentiation while promoting stem cell activation toward either expansion, maintenance or commitment. 2-DG, 2-deoxyglucose; 3-BrPA, 3-bromopyruvate; DCA, dichloroacetate.
