Cover: Glucose metabolism plays a key role in T cell development. CD4-CD8- double negative (DN) thymocytes, resided in the thymic cortex, are ‘baby’ T cells at the very beginning stage. With energy supplements, thymocytes at a later stage become ‘children’ T cells, receiving primary education in the thymic medulla. During this transition, mTORC2 signaling serves as the baby’s feeding bottle to promote DN thymocyte development and metabolism. See pages 93–106 by Ouyang et al. for details.
