Plasticity in T-cell mitochondrial metabolism: A necessary peacekeeper during the troubled times of persistent HIV-1 infection

The notion of immuno-metabolism refers to the crosstalk between key metabolic pathways and the development/maintenance of protective immunity in the context of physiological processes and anti-microbial defenses. Enthusiasm for immuno-metabolism in the context of HIV-1 infection, especially among T-cell lineages, continues to grow over time as science opens new therapeutic perspectives to limit viral pathogenesis and to boost anti-viral...
