Metabolic specialization in the gut microbiome of aquatic mammalian herbivores
Nature Microbiology, Published online: 02 November 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02520-2This study elucidates the microbial and metabolic basis of mammalian aquatic herbivory, identifying a metabolic pathway for epilactose utilization that expands the known functional landscape of gut carbohydrate metabolism.

Clothes are cheating, just increase your metabolic rate to stay warm.
An actual conversation with a neighbor:
Him: I saw you on your ebike yesterday. Cheater!
Me: Dude, you drive an SUV!

Interesting article by Alf Hornborg about the believes of a total renewable energy transition as "illusions of metabolic self-sufficiency".
Any good unicorn pasture out on the solar panel covered fields? 🦄

Modern civilization as a detritivore, and autotrophic technologies as unicorns
Following Fressoz’s observations on the historical entanglements of energy technologies, this commentary argues that there are several obstacles to the widely envisaged transition. Beyond economic ...

I find it interesting that anyone thinks genes would come before "proto-metabolic" cycles which function to oppose thermodynamic equilibriums.

Skirting the advice of government scientists, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is making it easier for people to access unapproved “wellness” peptides, marketed to treat conditions including joint problems, insomnia, opioid withdrawal, and metabolic issues. https://scim.ag/4yZdO1c

5) Hwang's team found that WASF3 overexpression in the brain was association with:
- downregulation of mitochondria
- a metabolic shift toward glycolysis
- impaired associative learning
Interestingly, some of the metabolomic changes were more pronounced in female mice

7) Regarding the metabolic shift the authors write:
"WASF3 overexpression appears to promote a previously described 'hypometabolic syndrome' state in ME/CFS characterized by depletion of glucose and glycolytic intermediates and decreased lipid metabolism."
