Abstract
Immune responses are dangerous by nature and require regulation to prevent inflammatory and/or autoimmune sequelae and allow healing. CD4+Foxp3+ T cells (Treg cells) play a crucial role in this process, and in this edition of Cell Metabolism, Angelin et al. (2017) describe how these cells are metabolically adapted to the job.
