Figure 1 Fasting Ameliorates Effects of Chemotherapy and Aging on Bone Marrow Prolonged fasting boosts bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and increases resistance to chemotherapeutic toxicity and aging-related loss of homeostasis through decreased IGF-1/PKA signaling. This results in maintenance of lymphoid cell (LC) and myeloid cell (MC) numbers and ratios and improved immune function.
