Glucose Metabolism Controls CD4+ T Cell Fate

In an unveiling of intricate cellular dynamics, new research has illuminated the pivotal role of glucose metabolism in steering the destiny of CD4+ T cells, a cornerstone of adaptive immunity. Naive CD4+ T lymphocytes, which linger in a state of dormancy until antigen encounter, embark on a transformative journey upon activation, spurred by metabolic shifts that dictate their proliferation and specialization. This metabolic reprogramming, partic…
