Metabolism and biosynthesis
Cellular metabolism — the chemical reactions that convert nutrients into energy and the building blocks of life — has gained attention for its role in organismal homeostasis and disease. With renewed interest in metabolism has come an appreciation for the many unknowns in the metabolic networks themselves: how metabolic pathways are regulated, how they are configured to support growth or other cellular functions, and how cells balance competing demand for metabolic intermediates. This theme will cover recent research in the basic architecture of metabolic networks, new approaches to monitoring metabolism, and insight into how these pathways contribute to disease.
