Temporal Metabolite, Ion, and Enzyme Activity Profiling Using Fluorescence Microscopy and Genetically Encoded Biosensors

Living cells employ complex and highly dynamic signaling networks and transcriptional circuits to maintain homeostasis and respond appropriately to constantly changing environments. These networks enable cells to maintain tight control on intracellular co

Preface High-Throughput Metabolomics: So Much to Discover, So Little Time… Dum loquimur fugerit invida aetas… (Horace, Odes 1, 11, 8)

The post-genomic era and the bioinformatic revolution that accompanied it fostered new strides in the fields of metabolomics and lipidomics. These “omics” approaches are often referred to—rightfully so—as the “closest to the phenotype” and perceived by the scientific community as novel, especially in comparison to genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. Despite the aggressive and largely successful efforts to rebrand this discipline, metabolomics—defined as the comprehensive analysis of small molecule metabolites—is perhaps the oldest analytical tool mankind managed to harness. History is full of records describing symptoms
