Adam R. Wende, PhD, FAHA presented his research at the UAB Microbiology Department Seminar on “Nutrient driven epigenetic mechanisms of heart failure.”

Can metabolism regulate more than bioenergetics during human development? Our new study says YES! We show that metabolism influences cell fate choice in human naïve pluripotent stem cells, histone acetylation, and trophectoderm maturation. rb.gy/spqr9j Nature Cell Biology
