Logic and mechanisms of metabolite signalling

Edward T Chouchani. Nat Rev Endocrinol. 2022 Feb.

Abstract

Metabolites have emerged as central regulators of biological function, but understanding mechanisms of metabolite regulation has proven challenging. In 2021 we have seen discoveries in the field of metabolite signalling motivated by a combination of scientific intuition and the elegant deployment of new technologies.
