Magnaporthe oryzae threatens global rice production, but master regulators coordinating immunity, metabolism, and growth remain elusive. Here, we identify OsWRKY39 as a central hub integrating blast resistance, phenylpropanoid metabolism, hormone homeostasis, and growth-defense trade-offs, distin...
To elucidate the function of oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) during B-cell differentiation we employ CD23Cre-driven expression of the dominant-negative K320E mutant of the mitochondrial helicase Twinkle (DNT). DNT-expression depletes mitochondrial DNA during B cell maturation, reduces the abun...
Dendritic cells (DCs) are central regulators of antitumor T cell immunity and are highly sensitive to metabolic cues. However, the therapeutic potential of targeting DC metabolism remains underexplored. Here, we report upregulation of the creatine transporter (CrT; Slc6a8) in intratumora...
In cancer, metabolic changes and uncontrolled tumor growth alter nutrient availability, impacting antitumor immune responses. Regulatory T (Treg) cells are a subset of T cells with immunosuppressive properties that has been found to additionally possess the ability to control tissue homeostasis a...
