Fatty acid metabolic reprogramming via mTOR-mediated inductions of PPARγ directs early activation of T cells

PPARγ promotes free fatty acid uptake and also has a role in T cell regulation. Here the authors show that mTORC1-PPARγ signalling is needed for fatty acid uptake by activated CD4+T cells and for clonal expansion of these cells.
