Abstract

Immune cell microenvironment plays a major role in the aberrant function of immune cells in systemic lupus erythematosus. Zeng and co-authors show that in human and murine lupus, splenic stromal cell-derived acetylcholine switches B cell metabolism to fatty acid oxidation and promotes B cell autoreactivity and disease development.
