Optimizing metabolic health through deep-phenotyping-based personalized nutrition
Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Published online: 07 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41574-026-01308-yHere, the authors explore the potential of using deep human phenotype data from large cohort studies and advances in omics technologies and wearables to provide personalized nutrition guidance and improve the prevention and management of metabolic disorders. They discuss how these approaches could be integrated into broader clinical practice and describe the challenges that must be overcome.

Effects of weight cycling in the presence and absence of obesity
Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Published online: 02 October 2026; doi:10.1038/s41574-026-01311-3As highly potent weight loss drugs become available, interest grows in whether repeated cycles of weight loss and regain can exacerbate obesity. We argue that weight cycling might contribute to the development of obesity in susceptible lean individuals but seems to have little effect on the progression of obesity and its complications.

The causes of cachexia: key signals and the brain
Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Published online: 21 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41574-026-01302-4Cachexia is a systemic condition of progressive weight loss and muscle and adipose tissue wasting, often seen in cancer and associated with poor prognosis. This Review explores the connection between circulating signalling factors and the brain in the development of cachexia and argues for the importance of pathways within the brain as both drivers of key features of cancer cachexia and promising therapeutic targets.
