Metabolic control of innate and adaptive immune responses to cutaneous Staphylococcus aureus infection (C02)

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

C02 will investigate how the metabolic competition between immune cells of the host and Staphyloccocus aureus shapes local immunity and how glucose uptake mechanisms of innate and adaptive immune cells prevent the spreading of the pathogen to secondary infection sites. C02 hypothesises that the metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming of T cells and neutrophils is relevant for determining local immunity and systemic protection from S. aureus infections and aim to characterise decision points governing this reprogramming.
