Immunometabolism and Inflammation

Dear Colleagues,

The first event in the inflammatory response consists in the recruitment of circulating monocytes and other myeloid cells to specific locations, such as bacterial entry sites, ischemic tissues, intratumoral areas, or atherosclerosis plaques. These pathological sites are normally associated with inadequate or abnormal vascularization, which subsequently compromises appropriate oxygen supply and metabolite exchange. It is now clear that metabolites, metabolic competition and nutrient restriction contribute to the immune response, determining disease outcome. This special issue of Immunometabolism aims to provide a series of articles covering all the aspects to point out how metabolic reprogramming and metabolic cross-talk control innate immunity and inflammatory cell phenotypes during acute and chronic inflammation such as cancer, ischemia, atherosclerosis and infections. We are welcoming submissions of both original research articles and review articles related to this topic.
