Microbiome

The microbiome is made of microorganisms living in and on our body. Through metabolism, the microbiome contributes essential metabolites that contribute to our health, but can also release toxic metabolites that contribute to disease. The study of the microbiome together with host biology is currently one of the hottest topics in biomedical research.

Precision medicine – Transform medicine with metabolomics – part 3 of 5

In this five-part blog series, Alice Limonciel explores the role of metabolomics in 5P medicine. In this 3rd article she explores how metabolomics is driving real-world applications of precision medicine, especially in predictive diagnostics, treatment optimization, and personalized nutrition. Learn why sex-based data stratification is essential, how metabolic profiles reveal hidden disease subtypes, and why the future of medicine is personal.

N-acetyl-aspartic acid (NAA) – Significant metabolite for brain function, metabolism, and disease

N-acetyl-aspartic acid (NAA) is a key brain metabolite involved in neuronal health, myelin synthesis, and metabolism. Its strong MRS signal makes it a valuable biomarker for neurological disorders, while emerging research links it to oncology, psychiatric conditions, and the gut-brain axis. As metabolomics advances, NAA’s role in diagnostics and personalized medicine continues to expand.
