Metabolic pathways are crucial regulators of diverse biological processes, influencing cancer cell adaptability, aging, brain function, and cardiovascular health. Dysregulation in metabolism contributes to conditions such as neurodegeneration, chronic liver disease, and impaired immune responses. Conversely, healthy metabolic modulation, as seen with exercise and host-microbiome interactions, supports overall physiological well-being. Precise metabolic control is also fundamental for developmental processes and tissue regeneration. This collective understanding highlights metabolism’s central role in both health and disease, offering significant avenues for therapeutic strategies and health optimization.
