Core Tip	Liver metabolism comprises an immense spectrum of interrelated anabolic and catabolic functions which are performed simultaneously without wasting energy. To cope with this challenge, liver parenchyma shows a considerable heterogeneity and functional plasticity known as metabolic zonation. This review summarizes fascinating technical achievements in this field, covers recent progress in characterizing and visualizing zonation, and outlines an emerging network of master regulators that ensures proper maintenance of homeostasis and energetic optimization of liver function. Finally, an outlook is given on how disturbance of liver zonation and its regulation may impact on liver pathology and the development of metabolic diseases.
