    Functional polarization of tumor-associated macrophages dictated by metabolic reprogramming

    Macrophages are highly plastic in different tissues and can differentiate into functional subpopulations under different stimuli. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are one of the most important innate immune...

    CD40 signal rewires fatty acid and glutamine metabolism for stimulating macrophage anti-tumorigenic functions

    Exposure of lipopolysaccharide triggers macrophage pro-inflammatory polarization accompanied by metabolic reprogramming, characterized by elevated aerobic glycolysis and a broken tricarboxylic acid cycle. Howe...

    PERK is a critical metabolic hub for immunosuppressive function in macrophages

    Chronic inflammation triggers compensatory immunosuppression to stop inflammation and minimize tissue damage. Studies have demonstrated that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress augments the suppressive phenotype...

    Disturbed mitochondrial dynamics in CD8+ TILs reinforce T cell exhaustion

    The metabolic challenges present in tumors attenuate the metabolic fitness and antitumor activity of tumor-infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs). However, it remains unclear whether persistent metabolic insufficie...

    α-ketoglutarate orchestrates macrophage activation through metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming

    How glutamine metabolism orchestrates macrophage activation is unclear. Ho and colleagues show glutamine metabolism tailors the immune responses of macrophages through metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming.

    Metabolic communication in tumors: a new layer of immunoregulation for immune evasion

    The success of cancer immunotherapy reveals the power of host immunity on killing cancer cells and the feasibility to unleash restraints of anti-tumor immunity. However, the immunosuppressive tumor microenviro...
