Abstract

We put together a special issue on current approaches in systems biology with a focus on mathematical modeling of metabolic networks. Mathematical models have increasingly been used to unravel molecular mechanisms of complex dynamic biological processes. We here provide a short introduction into the topics covered in this special issue, highlighting current developments and challenges.
