Asparagine availability controls germinal center B cell homeostasis Asparagine metabolism is a critical regulator of germinal center B cell function.

Thrilled to share our latest work on how the non-essential amino acid #asparagine metabolically regulates germinal centers. Huge thanks to my PhD supervisor @ajclarke.bsky.social, colleagues, and collaborators at the @ndorms.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk and @crick.ac.uk
