Sažetak	Time-series metabolomics analysis profiles small-molecule metabolites from biological samples collected at multiple, ordered time points, enabling researchers to capture the dynamic flux of metabolic pathways in response to stimuli, disease progression, drug treatment, or developmental change. By integrating longitudinal statistical models with standard metabolomics preprocessing, the approach goes beyond a static metabolic snapshot to reveal how, when, and in what sequence metabolic responses unfold.	Single-cell metabolomics analysis measures the small-molecule metabolite content of individual cells, revealing cell-to-cell metabolic heterogeneity that bulk methods obscure by averaging. Rooted in mass spectrometry and microfluidics advances, it enables researchers to map metabolic states across cell populations, identify rare subpopulations, and link metabolic phenotypes to cellular function — providing a functional complement to transcriptomics and proteomics at single-cell resolution.
