Impaired ketogenesis ties metabolism to T cell dysfunction in COVID-19 - Nature The ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate can be used as an alternative carbon source by T cells to maintain their function during severe respiratory viral infections, including infection with&...

Ever wondered how fasting is benefiting the adaptive immune response? In @Nature we show that #ketogenesis promotes the function of #tcell in severe respiratory viral infections by providing #ketonebodies BHB as carbon source. Final edited version: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
