In the germinal center (GC), B cells undergo rounds of somatic hypermutation (SHM), proliferation, and positive selection to develop into high-affinity, long-lived plasma cells and memory B cells. It is well established that, upon activation, B cells significantly alter their metabolism, but until recently little was understood about their metabolism within the GC. In this review we discuss novel in vivo models in which GC B cell (GCBC) metabolism is disrupted; these have greatly increased our understanding of B cell metabolic phenotype. GCBCs are unusual in that, unlike almost all other rapidly proliferating immune cells, they use little glycolysis but prefer fatty acid oxidation (FAO) to fuel ATP synthesis, whilst preferentially utilizing glucose and amino acids as carbon and nitrogen sources for biosynthetic pathways.

This is a measles infographic that presents measles symptoms and the levels of the virus and white blood cells in your blood over time.

HPV can cause a variety of cancers, including cervical. New mortality data for women under 25 point to the success of the HPV vaccine.

Political interference in public health is fueling vaccine hesitancy, outbreaks, and policy failures—at the cost of preventable lives.

The role of glioma-associated myeloid cells in tumor growth and immune evasion remains poorly understood. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing of immune and tumor cells from 33 gliomas, identifying...
