Core Tip This study reveals that preconditioning adipose-derived stem cells with α-ketoglutarate enhances their survival in burn wounds through hypoxia-inducible factor 1α-mediated dual metabolic adaptations. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1α activation simultaneously promotes glutamine metabolism for antioxidant glutathione synthesis and enhances glycogen storage for energy maintenance under stress. This metabolic reprogramming strategy significantly improves cell viability and wound healing efficacy, offering a novel approach to enhance stem cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine.
