PerspectivePerspectives on the physiological roles of microRNAs in immune-metabolism: Where are we now?
Section snippets
Main text
To coordinate the dynamic functional regulation needed to maintain tissue homeostasis, the immune system requires precise control of cellular metabolic pathways [1,2]. Different activation statuses are associated with varying metabolic demands [3,4]. For example, while naive lymphocytes are relatively quiescent cells that require minimal cellular biosynthesis, activated lymphocytes are highly metabolically active, facilitating cellular proliferation and utilizing more energy for greater
