This study shows that ascorbate deficiency in hematopoietic cells promotes leukemogenesis and identifies ascorbate as a tumor suppressor metabolite in blood cancers.

This study shows that TCA cycle turning is not essential for stem and progenitor cell survival or proliferation and its loss enhances stem cell function in hematopoiesis.

This study shows that hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) do not require fermentation or oxidation for survival and function, instead terminating glycolysis through pyruvate export.

This study shows that ascorbate deficiency protects mice from schistosomiasis by impairing schistosome egg production and reducing disease severity.
