Deskripsi

Although T cell commitment to specific lineages coincides with the rearrangement of T cell receptor loci, it remains unclear whether metabolism also influences this process. Here, authors show that de novo hexosamine biosynthesis promotes  αβ T cell lineage commitment and γδ-TCR diversity and can be modulated by dietary supplementation.
