Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the burgeoning interplay between lipid metabolism and immune cell functional fate, as well as its pivotal implications in human diseases. We aim to gather cutting-edge research and insightful reviews that dissect how metabolic reprogramming shapes the activation, differentiation and effector functions of diverse immune cells. Moreover, we seek contributions that elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying metabolic regulation of immune responses, and how dysregulated immune metabolism drives the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory disorders, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and malignancies. By bridging basic immunometabolism research with clinical translational perspectives, this Special Issue aspires to highlight novel therapeutic targets and strategies, fostering cross-disciplinary dialogues among immunologists, metabolomics scientists and clinicians to advance the field.
