Happy to share our latest paper from Dr. Brandon Oswald (@BrandonOswald3) showing that dietary restriction (DR) restricts tumor growth by stimulating anti-tumor T cell responses. @VAInstitute @VAIMetabolism https://t.co/FlUd9zqeQS

Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Michael Dahabieh recently earned a prestigious award for his work on immunotherapies. His research aims to improve these treatments by identifying new ways to re-energize immune cells in their battle against cancer.

Happy to share our latest paper from Dr. Joseph Longo showing glycosphingolipid production as a key metabolic fate of glucose in CD8 T cells that fuels their cytolytic function @VAInstitute @VAIMetabolism https://t.co/H5HK0dxuzX

[Evan Lien @eclien]

New pre-print from the lab! We describe an alternative route for β-hydroxybutyrate metabolism that allows it to bypass the TCA cycle to support fatty acid synthesis in cancer cells. Check it out! 👇

[Joseph Longo @jlongo92]

I’m excited to share our preprint, where we describe a critical fate of glucose in physiologically activated CD8+ T cells. @DrRGJonesLab @VAIMetabolism https://t.co/06Qm0wX08W

[Journal of Experimental Medicine @JExpMed]

Kaymak, Watson @DrRGJonesLab @VAInstitute and colleagues show that production of cytosolic acetyl-CoA by ACLY and ACSS2 links CD8 T cell metabolic state and effector function through effects on #chromatin accessibility. https://t.co/SXe4rq4iCD

Researchers @VAInstitute uncover a vast landscape of >1,000 proteins in metabolite extracts. These proteins can retain catalytic activity and drive postextraction metabolite changes, obscuring biological interpretation.
