Abstract:
Mounting evidence demonstrates that specific metabolic adaptations are needed to support B cell development and differentiation and to enable B cells to thrive in different environments. Mitogen induced activation of intracellular signaling pathways triggers nutrient uptake and metabolic remodeling to meet the cells' current needs. Reciprocally, changes in the metabolic composition of the environment, or in intracellular metabolite levels, can modulate signal transduction and thus shape cell fate and function. In summary, signal transduction and metabolic pathways operate within an integrated network to cooperatively define cellular outcomes.
