Observations indicate lipid deregulation affects HSC function during aging, suggesting metabolite supplementation may help.

To investigate how lipid composition affects hematopoietic stem cell functions during aging.
Utilized multi-omics analyses like scRNA-seq and lipidomics
Conducted confocal microscopy and lipid trafficking assays
Employed doxycycline inducible TAZ knock-down mouse model to assess HSC functions.
Administered Acetyl-L-Carnitine to evaluate restoration of HSC functions.
Aged HSCs displayed decreased regenerative capacity and altered lipid profile.
Reduced cardiolipin levels were found in aged HSCs, affecting mitochondrial function.
Acetyl-L-Carnitine treatment improved mitochondrial function in mid-aged HSCs.

Devyani Sharma (2025) studied this question.
