How regulatory immunological cues (re)programme cellular metabolism to control effector T cell behaviour and function

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Upon activation a T cell transitions from a state of semi-quiescence to a state of high activity. During the process of activation the T cell therefore needs to up regulate metabolic pathways to acquire the energy and nutrients required to facilitate the behavioural changes associated with its new functional state.
