Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are highly proliferative cells characterized by robust metabolic demands to power rapid division. For many years considered a passive component or passenger of cell-fate determination, cell metabolism is now starting to take center stage as a driver of cell fate outcomes. This review provides an update and analysis of our current understanding of PSC metabolism and its role in self-renewal, differentiation, and somatic cell reprogramming to pluripotency. Moreover, we present evidence on the active roles metabolism plays in shaping the epigenome to influence patterns of gene expression that may model key features of early embryonic development.
