ABSTRACT Metabolomics, a powerful discipline within systems biology, aims at comprehensive profiling of small molecules in biological samples. The challenges sample complexity are addressed through innovative preparation methods, including solid‐phase extraction and microextraction techniques, enhancing the detection quantification low‐abundance metabolites. Advances chromatographic separation, particularly liquid chromatography (LC) gas (GC), coupled with high‐resolution (HR) mass spectrometry (MS), have significantly improved sensitivity, selectivity, throughput metabolomic studies. Cutting‐edge such as ion‐mobility (IM‐MS) tandem MS (MS/MS), further expand capacity for metabolite profiling. These advanced analytical platforms each offer unique advantages metabolomics, continued technological improvements driving deeper insights into metabolic pathways biomarker discovery. By providing detailed overview current trends this review to valuable future metabolomics human health research its translational potential clinical settings.

Abstract Humans are exposed to a complex mixture of environmental and food‐related chemicals throughout their lifetime. Exposome research intends explore the nongenetic, that is, causes chronic disease interactions comprehensively. Residual antibiotics can enter human body through therapeutics, foods animal origin, aquatic products, or drinking water. In last decade, significant levels residual in urine have been described, demonstrating frequent exposure populations. To which extent they contribute health risks is debated. Human biomonitoring (HBM) aims determine quantify concentrations xenobiotics specimens provides toolbox monitor diverse chemical exposures. Due public implications, priority‐listed routinely monitored European Union other countries. However, antibiotics, an important class (food‐derived) xenobiotics, still not systematically investigated for better more holistic understanding context exposomics. This review comprehensive summary HBM related existing liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)‐based analytical methods, potential caused by unintended exposure. Incorporating into exposome framework routine using multiclass methods will provide toxicological pharmacological effects and, ultimately, exposome.

Serum endogenous metabolites and coexisting exogenous compounds are closely related to human health. Metabolomics often uses high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), but current exposomics studies typically rely on triple quadrupole tandem due lower concentrations in the body. As a result, metabolome-exposome-wide association (mEWAS) require combination of untargeted metabolomics several targeted methods measure more exposures, leading increased time sample consumption. In this study, novel method was proposed by leveraging advantages recently introduced Zeno MRMHR technology; it allows for simultaneous acquisition metabolome HRMS exposome multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) modes one injection. The signal responses MRM were comparable those HRMS. This rigorously validated, all standards had relative standard deviations (RSDs) below 20% intraday interday repeatability.

As our health is affected by the xenobiotic chemicals we are exposed to, it important to rapidly assess these molecules both in environment and bodies. Targeted analytical methods coupling either gas or liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS LC-MS) commonly utilized current exposure assessments. While accepted as gold standard for analyses, they often require multiple sample preparation steps more than 30 minutes per sample. This throughput limitation a critical gap assessments has resulted an evolving interest using ion mobility MS (IMS-MS) non-targeted studies. IMS-MS unique technique due its rapid capabilities (millisecond scanning) detection of wide range based on collision cross section (CCS) mass-to-charge ( m/z ) values.

Abstract Exposome represents one of the most pressing issues in environmental science research field. However, a comprehensive summary worldwide human exposome is lacking. We aimed to explore bibliometric characteristics scientific publications on exposome. A analysis from 2005 December 2024 was conducted using Web Science accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Trends/hotspots were investigated keyword frequency, co-occurrence, and thematic map. Sex disparities terms citations examined. From 2024, 931 published 363 journals written by 4529 authors 72 countries. The number tripled during last 5 years. Publications females (51% as first 34% authors) cited fewer times (13,674) than males (22,361). Human studies mainly focused air pollution, metabolomics, chemicals (e.g., per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), endocrine-disrupting chemicals, pesticides), early-life exposure, biomarkers, microbiome, omics, cancer, reproductive disorders. Social built environment factors, occupational multi-exposure, digital exposure screen use), climate change, late-life received less attention.
