Metabologenomics integrates metabolomics with other omics data types to comprehensively study the genetic and environmental factors that influence metabolism. These multi-omics data can be incorporated into genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs), which are highly curated knowledge bases that explicitly account for genes, transcripts, proteins and metabolites. By including all known biochemical reactions catalysed by enzymes and transporters encoded in the human genome, GEMs analyse and predict the behaviour of complex metabolic networks. Continued advancements to the scale and scope of GEMs - from cells and tissues to microbiomes and the whole body - have helped to design effective treatments and develop better diagnostic tools for metabolic diseases. Furthermore, increasing amounts of multi-omics data are incorporated into GEMs to better identify the underlying mechanisms, biomarkers and potential drug targets of metabolic diseases.

Introduction: Necroptosis has emerged as a promising biomarker for predicting immunotherapy responses across various cancer types. Its role in modulating immune activation and therapeutic outcomes offers potential for precision oncology.
Methods: A comprehensive pan-cancer analysis was performed using bulk RNA sequencing data to develop a necroptosis-related gene signature, termed Necroptosis.

Melanoma, a malignant skin tumor, presents significant treatment challenges, particularly in unresectable and metastatic cases. While immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) targeting PD-1/PD-L1 have brought new hope, their efficacy is limited by low response rates and significant immune-mediated adverse events (irAEs). Through multi-omics data analysis, it is discovered that the spatial co-localization of CD73 and PD-L1 in melanoma correlates with improved progression-free survival (PFS), suggesting a synergistic potential of their inhibitors.

Objective: Cognitive impairment occurs throughout the entire course of and affects the work and life of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). The gut microbiota, kynurenine pathway (KP) and inflammatory response may have important roles in the mechanism of cognitive impairment in MDD patients. Consequently, our goal was to investigate the association among the gut microbiota, inflammation, KP, and cognition in MDD.

Background: DNA methylation (DNAm) influences both sex differences and cancer development, yet the mechanisms connecting these factors remain unclear.
Methods: Utilizing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of sex-related DNAm effects in nine non-reproductive cancers, compared to paired normal adjacent tissues (NATs), and validated the results using independent datasets. First, we assessed the extent of sex differential DNAm between cancers and NATs to explore how sex-related DNAm differences change in cancerous tissues.

Background: Diabetes is a multi-factorial disorder and related complications constitute one of the principal causes of global mortality and disability. The role of ferroptosis in diabetes and its complications is intricate and significant. This study endeavors to disclose the role of ferroptosis in the aforementioned diseases from multiple perspectives through multi-omics.
