Targeting human Acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase as a dual viral and T cell metabolic checkpoint
Nature Communications, 2021 Shared metabolic pathways could allow simultaneous manipulation of T cells, viruses and tumours. Here the authors show targeting cholesterol esterification restrains hepatitis B in vitro, whilst bolstering exhausted antigen-specific T cell responses from

Comparison of antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 variants in Australian children
Nature Communications, 2022 Despite a rise in COVID-19 cases among children, there is limited understanding of the antibody responses mounted, compared to in adults. In this work, authors compare seroconversion rates and antibody responses in unvaccinated Australian children across

Oxylipin metabolism is controlled by mitochondrial β-oxidation during bacterial inflammation
Nature Communications, 2022 Oxylipins are lipid mediators generated during infection for regulating inflammatory responses, but how they are removed is not completely clear. Here the authors show that cellular oxylipin removal is linked to mitochondria β-oxidation by CPT1, a ...
