Book excerpt: It is common ground that all cells require nutrients to develop, differentiate, and maintain their inherent activities. However, the idea that cells can rapidly alter their metabolism to perform specific functions under the pressure of different microenvironments was just brought to the light. These changes are particularly important for immune cells, as they need to respond quickly to opportunistic pathogens or tissue damage and prevent their spread. The field that investigates the interplay between immunology and metabolism is so-called immunometabolism and has supported the hypothesis that all diseases have a metabolic aspect.
