Metabolic Blockade of Glycolysis Diminishes Autoreactive CD4 T-Cell Effector Responses in Type 1 Diabetes

Proinflammatory T helper 1 (Th1) CD4 T cells orchestrate β-cell destruction in type 1 diabetes (T1D) by using glycolysis for effector responses. By targeting T-cell metabolism, we may identify novel mechanisms and therapies to effectively delay T cell–mediated autoimmune diseases...
