Metabolic Adaptations in Plants during Abiotic Stress covers a topic of past, present and future interest for both scientists and policy makers as the global challenge of climate change is addressed

Health practitioners who deal with disease by attempting to restore normal metabolism are said to practice metabolic medicine. This book is intended to be the first comprehensive overview in the field of metabolic medicine, which is dedicated to controlling the epidemic of obesity and preventing obesity’s consequences.

With the ultimate goal of systematically and robustly defining the specific perturbations necessary to alter a cellular phenotype, systems metabolic engineering has the potential to lead to a complete cell model capable of simulating cell and metabolic function as well as predicting phenotypic response to changes in media, gene knockouts/overexpressions, or the incorporation of heterologous pathways.

​The HEP issue on Metabolic Control provides a state-of the art overview over both classical concepts and emerging areas in metabolism and associated disorders.
