Lipid metabolism drives dietary effects on T cell ferroptosis and immunity

Ferroptosis, a major mechanism of non-apoptotic programmed cell death, critically regulates the homeostasis and functionality of peripheral CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Here we demonstrate that in mouse, resistance of T cells to ferroptosis depends critically on the composition of standard rodent diets, and that dietary effects on ferroptosis have a crucial role in regulation of T cell homeostasis and immune responses.
