A Brief History of Inherited Metabolic Diseases: A Personal 60 Years Clinical Flashback
ABSTRACT The concept of IMDs has evolved over a century from rare deficits in amino acid catabolism diagnosed by the accumulation of biochemical markers such as phenylketonuria (PKU) to diseases affecting organelle metabolism, synthesis of complex molecules, and cellular trafficking.

The milk metabolome and its potential utilisation for enhanced dairy processing
The milk metabolome can be affected by a variety of different intrinsic and extrinsic factors, which can subsequently affect important parameters of milk quality and processability. This review explores this relationship and provides an overview of the topic of milk metabolomics as an ever‐evolving field of study.
