Molecular Metabolism
Scope & Guideline
Exploring the Interplay of Metabolism and Health
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Metabolic Regulation and Signaling:
Research dedicated to understanding the signaling pathways involved in metabolic regulation, including insulin signaling, glucagon receptor pathways, and the role of various hormones and nutrients in metabolic homeostasis. - Mechanisms of Metabolic Disorders:
Exploration of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying metabolic diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This includes studies on insulin resistance, lipid metabolism, and the interplay between metabolism and inflammation. - Role of Adipose Tissue:
Investigating the functions of different types of adipose tissue (white, brown, and beige) in energy metabolism, thermogenesis, and their roles in metabolic diseases. - Gut Microbiome and Metabolism:
Research into the influence of gut microbiota on metabolism, including how microbial metabolites affect host metabolism and the impact of diet on microbial composition. - Therapeutic Interventions:
Evaluation of pharmacological and dietary interventions for metabolic disorders, including the effects of new drug candidates, dietary components, and surgical interventions like bariatric surgery on metabolic health. - Metabolic Plasticity and Adaptation:
Studies on how organisms adapt their metabolism in response to environmental changes, dietary intake, and physiological demands, including the role of exercise and circadian rhythms.
Trending and Emerging
- Interplay of Metabolism and Immunity:
There is an increasing focus on the relationship between metabolic processes and immune responses, particularly in the context of obesity and inflammation. Studies are exploring how metabolic dysregulation can influence immune function and vice versa. - Role of Non-Coding RNAs:
Research into the regulatory roles of non-coding RNAs, such as microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, in metabolic processes is gaining traction. These molecules are being studied for their potential to regulate gene expression in metabolic tissues. - Metabolic Programming and Epigenetics:
Emerging studies on how early-life nutrition and environmental factors can epigenetically influence metabolism later in life are becoming more prominent. This area explores the long-term metabolic consequences of maternal diet and stress. - Precision Nutrition and Personalized Medicine:
The trend towards precision nutrition, which tailors dietary recommendations based on individual genetic, metabolic, and microbiome profiles, is gaining importance. This approach aims to enhance metabolic health through personalized dietary strategies. - Technological Advances in Metabolomics:
The use of advanced metabolomic profiling techniques to understand complex metabolic networks and their alterations in disease states is on the rise. This includes high-throughput screening and multi-omics integration.
Declining or Waning
- Basic Biochemical Pathways:
Research that primarily focuses on classical biochemical pathways without integrating new findings related to genetics, epigenetics, or systems biology is becoming less prominent. The field is shifting towards more integrated approaches that consider the complexity of metabolic regulation. - Single-Molecule Studies:
While single-molecule studies were once a focus, there is a growing trend towards multi-omics approaches and systems biology that consider interactions among various molecular players rather than isolating single components. - Animal Models in Isolation:
There is a decreasing emphasis on studies using traditional animal models in isolation. Instead, there is a move towards more complex systems that include humanized models or multi-species approaches to better reflect human metabolic conditions.
