Background: Hematopoiesis within the bone marrow (BM) is a complex and tightly regulated process predominantly influenced by immune factors. Aging, diabetes, and obesity are significant contributors to BM niche damage, which can alter hematopoiesis and lead to the development of clonal hematopoiesis of intermediate potential (CHIP). Genetic/epigenetic alterations during aging could influence BM niche reorganization for hematopoiesis or clonal hematopoiesis.

Advances in the field of oncology have led to the advent of doxorubicin (DOX), an anthracycline chemotherapeutic agent, through which cancer survival rates have remarkably improved. There has, however, been a rise in adverse effects from the use of DOX, most notably cardiotoxicity. DOX-induced cardiotoxicity is thought to arise through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing mitochondrial dysfunction in the cardiomyocytes.
