Popis: Glucose is an important nutrient that feeds into glycolytic control of T cell function and differentiation. Here the authors show that T cells are superior to dendritic cells (DC) at glucose uptake, and by depriving DCs of this nutrient in their microenvironment T cells activate DC proinflammatory functions, which in turn enhance T cell effector functions in DC-T cell cocultures.
