Environmental accounting for ecosystem conservation: Linking societal and ecosystem metabolisms [PDF]
Ecological Modelling, 2017 This paper proposes an approach to environmental accounting useful for studying the feasibility of socio-economic systems in relation to the external constraints posed by ecological compatibility. The approach is based on a multi-scale analysis of the metabolic pattern of ecosystems and societies and it provides an integrated characterization of the ...

Using Metabolic Engineering to Connect Molecular Biology Techniques to Societal Challenges [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are a topic of broad interest and are discussed in classes ranging from introductory biology to bioethics to more advanced methods-focused molecular biology courses. In most cases, GMOs are discussed in the context of introducing a single protein-coding gene to produce a single desired trait in a crop. For example,

Decoding the obesity–cancer connection: lessons from preclinical models of pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Life Science Alliance, 2023 Preclinical models demonstrate that obesity reprograms the pretumor or tumor cell and its micro- and macro-environments to drive cancer development via altered cellular metabolism, hormone dysregulation, inflammation, and microbial dysbiosis.
