Diet and lifestyle factors have a significant impact on health and susceptibility to diseases, including cancer. Stem cells play a crucial role in maintaining health and are involved in cancer development. Metabolic changes caused by diet can strongly influence the fate determination and differentiation of stem cells.
Diet and lifestyle factors greatly affect health and susceptibility to diseases, including cancer. Stem cells' functions, including their ability to divide asymmetrically, set the rules for tissue homeostasis, contribute to health maintenance, and represent the entry point of cancer occurrence. Stem cell properties result from the complex integration of intrinsic, extrinsic, and systemic factors. In this context, diet-induced metabolic changes can have a profound impact on stem cell fate determination, lineage specification and differentiation. The purpose of this review is to provide a comprehensive description of the multiple non-metabolic effects of diet on stem cell functions, including little-known effects such as those on liquid-liquid phase separation and on non-random chromosome segregation (asymmetric division). A deep understanding of the specific dietetic requirements of normal and cancer stem cells may pave the way for the development of nutrition-based targeted therapeutic approaches to improve regenerative and anticancer therapies.
