Pluripotent Stem Cell Metabolism and Mitochondria: Beyond ATP by Jarmon G. Lees, David K. Gardner, Alexandra J. Harvey

“…The significance of altered nutrient availability, particularly oxygen, and metabolic pathway activity has been highlighted by extensive studies of their impact on preimplantation embryo development, physiology, and viability. ESC similarly modulate their metabolism in response to altered metabolite levels, with changes in nutrient availability shown to have a lasting impact on derived cell identity through the regulation of the epigenetic landscape. …”
