Warburg redefined: Metabolites, mitochondria and macrophages in immune regulation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Following pro‐inflammatory stimulation, macrophages undergo Warburg‐like metabolic rewiring that extends more than increased glycolysis. The non‐canonical functions of glycolytic enzymes and lactate accumulation control macrophage immune responses through multiple signalling pathways (a).
