During immune challenge, T lymphocytes engage pathways of anabolic metabolism to support
clonal expansion and the development of effector functions. Here we report a critical role …

Van der Waals heterostructures are synthetic quantum materials composed of stacks of

T cell subsets including effector (T eff ), regulatory (T reg ), and memory (T mem ) cells are
characterized by distinct metabolic profiles that influence their differentiation and function. …

Naive CD8 + T cells differentiating into effector T cells increase glucose uptake and shift
from quiescent to anabolic metabolism. Although much is known about the metabolism of …

Metformin is a biguanide widely prescribed to treat Type II diabetes that has gained interest
as an antineoplastic agent. Recent work suggests that metformin directly antagonizes cancer …
