Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are responsible for life-long production of all mature blood cells. Under homeostasis, HSCs in their native bone marrow niches are believed to undergo asymmetric cell divisions (ACDs), with one daughter cell maintaining HSC ...

A fine balance of quiescence, self-renewal, and differentiation is key to preserve the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) pool and maintain lifelong production of all mature blood cells. In recent years cellular metabolism has emerged as a crucial regulator of ...

It has been recently shown that increased oxidative phosphorylation, as reflected by increased mitochondrial activity, together with impairment of the mitochondrial stress response, can severely compromise hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) regeneration. Here w ...

Specification of haematopoietic stem cell fate via modulation of mitochondrial activity

Johan Auwerx, Matthias Lütolf, Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga, Aline Roch, Vasco Ledebur de Antas de Campos, Mukul Girotra, Nicola Vannini, Gennady Nikitin, Sonja Giger

Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) differ from their committed progeny by relying primarily on anaerobic glycolysis rather than mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation for energy production. However, whether this change in the metabolic program is the cause ...

The present invention relates to a specific marker for stem cells having long-term multi-lineage blood reconstitution capability and uses thereof for the preparation of cell composition in view of hematopoietic stem cell medicine and in particular regenera ...

Automated analysis of single stem cells in microfluidic traps

Matthias Lütolf, Alessandra Griffa, Olivier Burri, Arne Seitz, Stefan Kobel, Mukul Girotra

We report a reliable strategy to perform automated image cytometry of single (non-adherent) stem cells captured in microfluidic traps. The method rapidly segments images of an entire microfluidic chip based on the detection of horizontal edges of microflui ...
