Developmental enhancement of adenylate kinase-AMPK metabolic signaling axis supports stem cell cardiac differentiation.

Energetic and metabolic circuits that orchestrate cell differentiation are largely unknown. Adenylate kinase (AK) and associated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) constitute a major metabolic signaling axis, yet the role of this system in guiding differentiation and lineage specification remains u...
