Circadian systems direct many metabolic parameters and, at the same time, they appear to be exquisitely shielded from metabolic variations. Although the recent decade of circadian research has brought insights into how circadian periodicity may be generated at the molecular level, little is known about the relationship between this molecular feedback loop and metabolism both at the cellular and at the organismic level. In this theoretical paper, we conjecture about the interdependence between circadian rhythmicity and metabolism. A mathematical model based on the chemical reactions of photosynthesis demonstrates that metabolism as such may generate rhythmicity in the circadian range. Two additional models look at the possible function of feedback loops outside of the circadian oscillator. These feedback loops contribute to the robustness and sustainability of circadian oscillations and to compensation for long- and short-term metabolic variations. The specific circadian property of temperature compensation is put into the context of metabolism. As such, it represents a general compensatory mechanism that shields the clock from metabolic variations.

Understanding the molecular energy metabolism of single cells in the nucleolus stress response induced by mild-photothermal therapy (mPTT) is of great importance for investigating the photothermal lethal mechanism. Herein, we successfully fabricated a "turn-on"-type fluorescent nanoprobe based on the fluorescently labeled aptamers (FAM-ATP-apt and Cy3-GTP-apt) and TiCT MXene. When the adapters on the nanoprobes bonded to intracellular ATP and GTP, the fluorescence of the nanoprobes was restored.

Rewards are rewarding owing to their hedonic or metabolic value. Individual differences in sensitivity to rewards are predictive of mental health problems but may reflect variation in metabolic types. We have assessed the association of two distinguishable aspects of reward sensitivity, openness to rewards (the striving towards multiple rewards) and insatiability by reward (the strong pursuit and fixation to a particular reward), with measures of metabolism and activity in a longitudinal study of representative birth cohort samples.

Purpose: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder and the primary cause of anovulatory infertility among women aged 15-49 years. Despite its significance, it has been largely overlooked in global health discussions, with persistently high prevalence and incidence rates. This public health challenge necessitates attention both domestically and internationally.

Introduction: A small number of soybean allergens [including Glycinin (11S) and β-Conglycinin (7S)] in the commercially available corn-soybean meal diet can still cause allergy in some weaned piglets, which may be the result of the interaction of genetic, and nutrition, but the specific mechanism is still unclear.
Methods: In this study, 20 allergic piglets and 20 non-allergic piglets were selected from 92 weaned piglets by skin sensitization tests, which were used to examine the whole sequence genome. The indicators related to humoral and cellular immunity, transcriptomics, and metabolomics analysis were determined by randomly selecting 5 boars in the allergic group and non-allergic group and then performing a validation .

Trained immunity, characterized by long-term functional reprogramming of innate immune cells, offers promising new directions for veterinary vaccine development. This perspective examines how trained immunity can be integrated into veterinary vaccine design through metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic modifications. We analyze key molecular mechanisms, including the shift to aerobic glycolysis and sustained epigenetic changes, that enable enhanced immune responses.
