Abstract

Neutrophils are required to meet their energy demands at inflamed sites where nutrients may be limited. Sadiku et al. provide evidence of a specialized metabolism that enables neutrophils to utilize glycogen cycling for energy production. This is essential for neutrophil function and survival, and dysregulation is associated with chronic disease states.
