[HTML][HTML] Inflammatory T cell responses rely on amino acid transporter ASCT2 facilitation of glutamine uptake and mTORC1 kinase activation

M Nakaya, Y Xiao, X Zhou, JH Chang, M Chang… - Immunity, 2014 - cell.com
Glutamine has been implicated as an immunomodulatory nutrient, but how glutamine uptake
is mediated during T cell activation is poorly understood. We have shown that naive T cell …
