ghts not only their int Overall, greater characterization of the regulation of autophagy in T cells is still needed to further our understanding of the mechanisms that control the activity of this essential
process in T cells, as well as to provide further insight into its physiological roles.4. Autophagyis anovelregulatory mechanism of T cell metabolism
Over the past couple decades several studies have revealed that cellular metabolism is not only a passive hallmark of T cell function but rather an active driver of T cell fate and
function [8, 9, 95, 96]. At the same time,autophagy has emerged as an essential catabolic process in T cell biology. We are beginning to appreciate that autophagy may be a
