Abstract

Mesquita et al. show that genetic deficiency of HIF-1α in the myeloid compartment promotes de novo lipogenesis through the BNIP3/mTOR/SREBP-1c axis. This is associated with higher susceptibility to Leishmania donovani infection, which is reduced upon pharmacological inhibition of fatty acid synthesis.
