Amino acid-dependent cMyc expression is essential for NK cell metabolic and functional responses in mice

Glutamine can feed into the TCA cycle as a fuel for oxidative phosphorylation and thereby can affect metabolic pathways in lymphocytes. Yet here the authors show that glutamine serves predominantly as a signalling molecule that sustains cMyc expression to control NK cell metabolism and effector func...
