Can SLE be treated by altering T-cell metabolism?

The article discusses a research paper on the use of normalization of CD4 T cell metabolism for the treatment of lupus. It references the study "Normalization of CD4 T Cell Metabolism Reverses Lupus," published by Y. Yin et al., published in an issue of "Science Translational Medicine." It discusses the dependence of T-cell function on cellular metabolism, the response of polyclonal stimulation in vitro and findings on the extracellular acidification rate and oxygen consumption rate.
