Metabolic Trans-Omic Analysis Reveals Key Regulatory Disruption of Energy Metabolism in Alzheimer's Disease

By integrating multi-omic data from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, this study reconstructs a metabolic regulatory network in Alzheimer's disease that reveals a coordinated downregulation of energy-producing pathways driven by reduced enzyme abundance and inhibitory allosteric effects, alongside conflicting regulatory influences on glycolysis.

Integrative Multi-omics Analysis of the Human Skeletal Muscle Response to Endurance or Resistance Exercise: Findings from the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC)

This study from the MoTrPAC consortium reveals that acute endurance and resistance exercises trigger distinct, temporally ordered multi-omic responses in human skeletal muscle, characterized by early epigenetic and signaling changes that precede transcriptomic and proteomic shifts to regulate processes such as autophagy, angiogenesis, and protein turnover.

A systemic circadian nicotinic acid riboside (NaR) signal engages the unfolded protein response and adipogenesis via the prefoldin complex

This study identifies nicotinic acid riboside (NaR) as a liver clock-controlled circulating metabolite that engages the prefoldin complex to modulate unfolded protein response signaling and adipogenesis in a time-dependent manner, thereby linking systemic circadian rhythms to tissue-specific physiological outcomes.

Aging under immunosuppression reshapes human immune compartments and lowers clinical alloreactivity after heart transplantation

This study demonstrates that increasing recipient age at heart transplantation is associated with a reduced risk of acute allograft rejection, driven by age-related shifts in immune cell composition and transcriptomic profiles characterized by immunosenescence and chronic inflammation, suggesting a need for personalized immunosuppression strategies in older patients.
