    Review The immunology of sickness metabolism, Wensveen et al, 2024

    Abstract: Everyone knows that an infection can make you feel sick. Although we perceive infection-induced changes in metabolism as a pathology, they are a part of a carefully regulated process that depends on tissue-specific interactions between the immune system and organs involved in the...

It seems that this is not quite the full story. There appears to be a lacuna...
