The tumor suppressor LKB1 emerges as a critical factor in hematopoietic stem cell biology

Bryan Krock et al. Cell Metab. .

Abstract

How cellular metabolism regulates stem cell function is poorly understood but is an emerging field of study. In a recent issue of Nature, three independent groups demonstrate that LKB1 promotes hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) quiescence and metabolic homeostasis. Surprisingly, these effects on HSCs occur independently of AMPK/mTOR and FoxO signaling.
