Mitochondria link metabolism and epigenetics in haematopoiesis

Nature Cell Biology 19, 589 (2017). doi:10.1038/ncb3540 Authors: John C. Schell & Jared Rutter Due to their varied metabolic and signalling roles, mitochondria are important in mediating cell behaviour. By altering mitochondrial function, two studies now identify metabolite-induced epigenetic changes that have profound effects on haematopoietic stem cell fate and function.
