Sweet talk: metabolic conversations between host and microbe during infection

Amiel, E. and Perona-Wright, G. (2021) Sweet talk: metabolic conversations between host and microbe during infection. Immunology, 162(2), pp. 121-122. (doi: 10.1111/imm.13301) (PMID:33443308) (PMCID:PMC7808147)

Abstract

In this issue, we introduce the second part of a series of reviews focusing on how immunometabolism influences host and pathogen interactions during infection. This part of the collection addresses the interface between metabolism and specific types of infection, including immunometabolism in macrophages during helminth infection, the role of metabolism in T-cell exhaustion during chronic viral infections and host immunometabolism in the defence against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. These reviews, together with the four articles published in part 1 of the series in November 2020, offer new insights into the complex interactions between mammalian hosts and microbial pathogens through the lens of cellular metabolic regulation.
