Inhibition of kynurenine 3‐monooxygenase (KMO) reduces fentanyl and sucrose intake and relapse‐like behaviour in rats

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Opioid use disorder, particularly involving fentanyl, poses major challenges due to high relapse rates and limited effectiveness of pharmacotherapies. The kynurenine pathway has emerged as a target for addiction treatment through its modulation of glutamatergic and dopaminergic neurotransmission.

Biofluid Biomarkers of Cognitive Functioning in Bipolar Disorder: A Systematic Review by the Targeting Cognition and Older‐Age Bipolar Disorder ISBD Task Forces

Bipolar Disorders, Volume 28, Issue 5, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cognitive impairment is common in bipolar disorder (BD), but the underlying pathophysiology remains unclear. This systematic review aimed to (1) summarize all literature describing relationships of biofluid biomarkers and cognition in BD and (2) identify which biofluid biomarkers correlate most consistently with cognition in BD ...

Steroidogenic compensation and lipid deficiency with enhanced NAD+ salvage in small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 15, Page 4554-4577, August 2026.
Fetal growth restriction is associated with placental metabolic adaptations. In small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta (SGA), cholesterol receptors and steroidogenic enzymes are upregulated, enhancing steroidogenesis. NAD salvage pathway is also increased to support NADP+/NADPH requirements.

Human IDO2 exhibits unique binding affinities distinct to those of human IDO1

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 15, Page 4533-4553, August 2026.
Although indoleamine 2,3‐dioxygenase 2 (IDO2) is highly homologous to IDO1, it displays markedly lower catalytic activity. We found that IDO2 binds L‐tryptophan (L‐Trp) in a flipped orientation stabilized by the IDO2‐specific residue His143. Replacement of His143 with the IDO1‐equivalent tyrosine restored an IDO1‐like binding mode and increased ...

From Infection to Anxiety: A Sequential Model Linking Latent Toxoplasmosis to Psychological Distress via Health and Stress

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 1026-1043, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Identifying the drivers of chronic stress is crucial for understanding its impact on mental health. Latent toxoplasmosis, a widespread parasitic infection, has been linked to various psychological changes. The Stress‐Coping Hypothesis proposes that at least some of these changes are consequences of chronic stress arising from the infection's ...

Amino acid homeostasis in the kidney: Physiological roles and pathological dysregulation

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 15, August 2026.
Abstract Amino acids are fundamental to life as protein building blocks and key regulators of metabolism and signaling. The kidney plays a critical, yet underappreciated, role in amino acid homeostasis through three interconnected pillars: selective glomerular filtration, efficient tubular reabsorption, and metabolic processing, which includes de novo ...

A pilot study of maternal vitamin D status and its association with breast milk and infant gut metabolites

Physiological Reports
Human milk contains multiple bioactive components, many of which are influenced by the mother's nutritional status. To identify the impact of maternal vitamin D status on neuroactive compounds, we conducted a post hoc analysis of breast milk and matched ...

Nicotinamide Reverses the Warburg Effect in CHO Cell Culture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 7, Page 1902-1915, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The Warburg effect, the preferential conversion of glucose‐derived pyruvat to lactate despite available oxygen, is a key feature of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture. Lactate accumulation in recombinant protein‐producing cell culture is an inefficient usage of glucose, as well as being deleterious to cells.

Utilizing transcriptomics and metabolomics to unravel key genes and metabolites of maize seedlings in response to drought stress

BMC Plant Biology
Background Drought stress can substantially restrict maize growth and productivity, and global warming and an increasing frequency of extreme weather events are likely to result in more yield losses in the future.

The Effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Tryptophan Metabolism and Depressive‐Like Behavior in Mice

Brain and Behavior, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) ameliorates chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)‐induced depressive‐like behaviors in mice by modulating key tryptophan metabolism pathways, as evidenced by the restoration of serotonin levels and reduction of neuroactive metabolites.
