Exercise immunology: Future directions – ScienceDirect
Highlights
• The immune system is responsive to the physiological stress imposed by the exercise workload.
• Technological advances now allow a systems biology approach to exercise immunology.
• The immune response to exercise is influenced by small-molecule metabolites and proteins.
• Immunometabolism has provided new insights into how metabolites influence immune function.
• Exercise has a modulating effect on gut microbial populations.

Mitochondrial DNA stress signalling protects the nuclear genome – Science Mission
“Mitochondria, tiny structures present in most cells, are known for their energy-generating machinery. Now, researchers have discovered a new function of mitochondria: they set off molecular alarms when cells are exposed to stress or chemicals that can damage DNA, such as chemotherapy.”
