Endophytic Fungi: The Full Story of the Untapped Treasure covers the developments in endophytic fungal research from beginning to the end by the eminent researchers involved in the field. It sheds light on the endophytic fungal current research, challenges, and future possibilities, the trending recent topics in the plant-fungal endophytes' biodynamics for sustainable development of bioproducts and its applications are supported in large-scale biosynthesis of industrially and pharmaceutical important biomolecules.The highlights of Endophytic Fungi: The Full Story of the Untapped Treasure are the bioprospecting and applied aspects of endophytic fungi. Practical applications of such endophytes are discussed in detail. Further, it reviews recent strategies on alternative sustainable sources of medicines such as secondary metabolites of fungi instead of over collection of plants under prohibiting of biodiversity conventions. The uniqueness of the Endophytic Fungi is the inclusion of updated bioinformatics-based strategies and its importance in bioactive molecules produced by endophytic fungi. Endophytic Fungi addresses one of the most eminent issues in this field: "how to translate the potential that endophytic fungi hold in stable practical application."

Metabolomics for Personalized Vaccinology explores the development of personalized vaccine which requires in-depth knowledge of the patient’s health status, particularly the immune system and on metabolomics, the closest indicator of the disease phenotype. The metabolic pathway of the host's system is altered by vaccine administration. As a result, Metabolomics for Personalized Vaccinology provides understanding of how metabolomics might be employed in personalized vaccinology. Over the last few years, researchers have published articles on personalized vaccine, but these are sparse. Therefore, compiling this information will help the reader to get an overview of the progress of this field, despite its being at its infancy. Metabolomics for Personalized Vaccinology is ideally suited for researchers and postgraduate students who are interested in clinical and non-clinical studies where metabolites are used for identification of disease and therapeutic targets.
