Metabolic #plasticity to Slc1a5 loss involving upregulation of macropinocytosis.

Important also for #immune cells to support glutamine requirements?

Long chain acyl-carnitine Palmitoylcarnitine is elevated in diseases including T2D and obesity, and this study suggests it can cause mitochondrial dysfunction in immune cells.
