Autophagy maintains the metabolism and function of young and old stem cells

TT Ho, MR Warr, ER Adelman, OM Lansinger, J Flach… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
With age, haematopoietic stem cells lose their ability to regenerate the blood system, and
promote disease development. Autophagy is associated with health and longevity, and is …

Chaperone-mediated autophagy sustains haematopoietic stem-cell function

S Dong, Q Wang, YR Kao, A Diaz, I Tasset, S Kaushik… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
The activation of mostly quiescent haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is a prerequisite for life-
long production of blood cells. This process requires major molecular adaptations to allow …

FOXO3A directs a protective autophagy program in haematopoietic stem cells

MR Warr, M Binnewies, J Flach, D Reynaud, T Garg… - Nature, 2013 - nature.com
Blood production is ensured by rare, self-renewing haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). How
HSCs accommodate the diverse cellular stresses associated with their life-long activity …

Autophagy fights disease through cellular self-digestion

N Mizushima, B Levine, AM Cuervo, DJ Klionsky - nature, 2008 - nature.com
Autophagy, or cellular self-digestion, is a cellular pathway involved in protein and organelle
degradation, with an astonishing number of connections to human disease and physiology …

Microenvironmental autophagy promotes tumour growth

NS Katheder, R Khezri, F O'Farrell, SW Schultz, A Jain… - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
As malignant tumours develop, they interact intimately with their microenvironment and can
activate autophagy, a catabolic process which provides nutrients during starvation. How …

Specification of haematopoietic stem cell fate via modulation of mitochondrial activity

N Vannini, M Girotra, O Naveiras, G Nikitin… - Nature …, 2016 - nature.com
Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) differ from their committed progeny by relying primarily on
anaerobic glycolysis rather than mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation for energy …

Systemic signals regulate ageing and rejuvenation of blood stem cell niches

SR Mayack, JL Shadrach, FS Kim, AJ Wagers - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
Ageing in multicellular organisms typically involves a progressive decline in cell
replacement and repair processes, resulting in several physiological deficiencies, including …

Autophagy and metabolism

JD Rabinowitz, E White - Science, 2010 - science.org
Autophagy is a process of self-cannibalization. Cells capture their own cytoplasm and
organelles and consume them in lysosomes. The resulting breakdown products are inputs to …

Replication stress is a potent driver of functional decline in ageing haematopoietic stem cells

J Flach, ST Bakker, M Mohrin, PC Conroy, EM Pietras… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) self-renew for life, thereby making them one of the few
blood cells that truly age,. Paradoxically, although HSCs numerically expand with age, their …
