    Hypoxia and glycolysis have long been appreciated to promote immune cell activation. In 2019, several studies highlighted a counterbalancing homeostatic function for the glycolytic metabolite lactate. Lactate directly suppresses signalling pathways and modifies histones to play an important role in regulating macrophage polarization, tumour immunity and antiviral responses.
