Abstract

T-lymphocytes show large changes in ATP demand and nutrient utilization, imposed by their different roles as T memory and T effector cells. Therefore, T cell remodeling represents a bioenergetic challenge to mitochondria. New work from Buck et al. links changes in mitochondrial shape to T cell fate choice.
