Gel-assisted mass spectrometry imaging

The paper introduces a method to enhance spatial resolution in MALDI-MSI without changing hardware, enabling subcellular-scale analysis.

DBDA matrix increases ion abundance of fatty acids and sulfatides in MALDI-TOF and mass spectrometry imaging studies

The paper demonstrates that DBDA matrix enhances ionization of fatty acids and sulfatides in MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry imaging of mouse brain tissue.

Probing the force-from-lipid mechanism with synthetic polymers

This study investigates how changes in membrane mechanical properties affect the activation of mechanosensitive channels using synthetic amphiphiles and molecular dynamics simulations.

An integrated approach to protein discovery and detection from complex biofluids

This paper develops a mass spectrometry method to detect microproteins in vaginal lavages and identifies cystatin A as a potential biomarker for early ovarian cancer detection.

Visualising Cholesterol in Brain by On-Tissue Derivatisation and Quantitative Mass Spectrometry Imaging

This study uses mass spectrometry imaging to visualize cholesterol distribution in mouse brain tissue, showing reduced cholesterol in specific regions of NPC1 disease models and during development.
