Metabolic processes have been long seen as means to generate energy in a live organism. However, recent discoveries on the field of immunology and metabolism have shown an increasing interrelation between these processes. The field of immunometabolism is gaining momentum and presents a huge impact for the clinical practice. Of particular attention is the chronic inflammation state in obesity, as well as asthma to mention a few. This special issue offers a selected and articulated overview of the examined topic. For this issue, we have included an interesting mix of reviews and original research articles, which underscore the relevance of metabolism in immune responses.
