Abstract excerpt
Upon antigen-specific or allogeneic activation, T cells sharply increase their metabolic activity to cope with augmented needs for proliferation and effector functions. Therefore, enzymes involved in energy metabolism constitute attractive targets to modulate the activity of pathogenic effector T cells in the setting of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). Here, we show that T cells deficient for acetyl-CoA...
