Recent progress in immune-metabolism

The field of immune-metabolism has recently drawn a great deal of attention. Over the last decade, researchers have made substantial progress in elucidating how various immune cell subtypes modulate their functional roles through regulation of cellular metabolism. The immune system comprises a heterogeneous population of various subtypes of immune cells that are quiescent in their naive state, and that can rapidly respond to external interruptions, such as pathogen infections or antigen challenges.
