Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Immunometabolism is an emerging field of biomedical research that seeks to understand the interaction between immunology and metabolism with a strong emphasis on the role of nutrients. Growing evidence suggests that the nutrients from food and metabolites interact with metabolic pathways in the cells of the immune system and play a central role in their functional plasticity. In this context, the interest to understand how food and nutrients, including bioactive food compounds, can play an immunomodulatory and therapeutic role, contributing to the prevention and treatment of diseases, notably inflammatory ones, has increased.
