The field of molecular mechanisms of micronutrients and metabolic waste is gaining significant traction in contemporary research. Micronutrients such as selenium, iron, and zinc, along with metabolic wastes, are increasingly recognized for their pivotal roles in cellular physiology and disease states. These elements are crucial in regulating gene expression, DNA repair, chromatin remodeling, RNA processing, and post-transcriptional modifications. Despite the progress, there remain critical gaps in understanding how these micronutrients and metabolic wastes influence genetic information expression and functional realization. Recent studies have highlighted their involvement in tRNA modification and DNA repair, as well as their interactions with immune metabolism. However, the intricate molecular interactions and their implications for disease processes, particularly cancer development and regulation, are not yet fully elucidated. This underscores the need for more comprehensive investigations to uncover potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

This research topic aims to delve into the roles of micronutrients and metabolic wastes in molecular mechanisms, with a focus on their interactions in genetic regulation, immune metabolism, and other metabolic regulatory processes. The objective is to answer key questions about how these elements influence disease processes and to test hypotheses regarding their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. By exploring these areas, the research seeks to provide new insights that could inform clinical treatment strategies.
