Immunometabolism – A therapeutic perspective
What is Immunometabolism?
Immunometabolism is an exponentially growing, multi-disciplinary field of research aiming at deciphering the dynamic cellular and molecular mechanisms that interweave metabolic and immunological processes together. Although the term “immunometabolism” first appeared in the literature in 2011, the first studies investigating the connection between immune and metabolic disorders date back to the late 19th century.

Natural Killer Cells and Their Role in Immunometabolism
Natural Killer cells - an overview
Natural Killer (NK) cells were first described in the mid-1970’s as a population of innate lymphocytes that were able to mediate cytotoxicity against tumour cells without prior exposure to a target (Herberman et al., 1975, I and II). NK cells are found in primary and secondary immune compartments, some mucosal tissues and are continually circulating through the vasculature to perform host immunosurveillance.
