Abstract

Here we announce the first part of an exciting new series of reviews exploring the impact of immunometabolism in the interaction between host and pathogen, and in the outcome of infection. This collection discusses the links between metabolism and epigenetic control of cell function, post-translation modifications of host proteins that determine protein fate and host cell function, the metabolic determinants of cell migration and immune cell activity, and the tussle for iron as a metabolic mediator of host-pathogen domination. Together these reviews provide engaging new insight into the metabolic signals that guide the dynamic conversation between microbial pathogens and the mammalian hosts they aim to occupy.
