   Blood metabolite profiling outperforms BMI in predicting pregnancy complicationsBlood metabolite profiling outperforms BMI in predicting pregnancy complications
 
This study shows that a blood-based metabolomic signature linked to maternal BMI predicts gestational diabetes and preeclampsia more strongly than BMI alone, particularly in late pregnancy. A subset of 16 metabolites statistically mediates the BMI–gestational diabetes association, highlighting metabolic pathways that may improve prenatal risk stratification.
 
   New metabolomic signature predicts type 2 diabetes risk beyond traditional factorsNew metabolomic signature predicts type 2 diabetes risk beyond traditional factors
 
Diabetes, a metabolic disease, is on the rise worldwide, and over 90 percent of cases are type 2 diabetes, where the body does not effectively respond to insulin.
 
 Blood lipid–hormone ratios predict future asthma attacks years in advance
 
Blood lipid–hormone ratios predict future asthma attacks years in advanceThis study shows that specific ratios of circulating sphingolipids to steroids can predict the risk of future asthma exacerbations over five years with high discriminatory performance. By integrating metabolomics with longitudinal medical records, the research highlights lipid–hormone pathway imbalance as a key driver of asthma instability.
 
 
 Research reveals nuclear metabolic fingerprint in human cells
 
Research reveals nuclear metabolic fingerprint in human cellsMore than two hundred metabolic enzymes, many of which are normally tasked with producing energy in the mitochondria, are also found sitting directly on top of human DNA, according to a study published today in Nature Communications.
 
 
 Blood metabolites reveal who will develop type 2 diabetes years before diagnosis
 
Blood metabolites reveal who will develop type 2 diabetes years before diagnosisThis large prospective study integrated blood metabolomics, genetics, and lifestyle data to identify hundreds of metabolites associated with long-term risk of type 2 diabetes in initially healthy adults. A validated 44-metabolite signature improved risk prediction beyond conventional factors, offering insights into biological pathways and opportunities for earlier, more precise prevention.
 
 
 Nutri-Score labeling system fails to reflect nutritional complexity of cocoa
 
Nutri-Score labeling system fails to reflect nutritional complexity of cocoaResearchers at the University of Granada have revealed that the Nutri-Score labeling system, commonly used in Europe to assess food quality, is unable to adequately reflect the nutritional and metabolic complexity of soluble cocoa sold in Spain.

 Swapping red meat for plant-based meat rapidly lowers a key heart risk metabolite, trial finds
 
Swapping red meat for plant-based meat rapidly lowers a key heart risk metabolite, trial findsA randomized crossover trial found that replacing red meat patties with processed plant-based meat alternatives for six days significantly lowered circulating trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut-derived metabolite linked to cardiovascular risk. The plant-based phase also produced modest reductions in cholesterol markers but slightly increased weight and NT-proBNP, possibly due to higher sodium intake.
 
 
 Machine Learning Models Identify Early Metabolic Shifts
 
Machine Learning Models Identify Early Metabolic ShiftsAcute systemic inflammation has long been suspected to trigger harmful processes within the brain, contributing to neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
 
 
 Engineered E. coli Produces Key Plant Compound at Record Levels
 
Engineered E. coli Produces Key Plant Compound at Record LevelsResearchers engineered E. coli to produce orsellinic acid-derived meroterpenoids, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional plant extraction methods.
 
 
 Gut-derived blood markers may help predict who develops coronary heart disease
 
Gut-derived blood markers may help predict who develops coronary heart diseaseResearchers used five prospective cohorts from the US and China to identify circulating gut microbiota-related metabolites linked to future coronary heart disease, then tested the findings through discovery, in silico validation, and targeted quantitative validation. The study ultimately highlighted nine metabolites associated with incident CHD, supporting a potential role for microbial metabolism in heart disease risk while not proving causation
