Abstract
To understand biological functions in organisms, it is important to investigate what is happening in different locations in cells and tissues. The conventional approach is to extract compounds from whole tissue, and then to measure their concentrations or other characteristics using equipment tailored to the different molecules. Recent advances in mass spectrometry have made it possible to measure trace amounts of compounds. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), which uses positional information and mass spectrometry data to show where and how much of each compound is present in tissues, has been in the spotlight. Improvements in MSI over the past few decades have enabled its use for visualizing the localization of small molecules including drugs, lipids, and many other compounds in a range of organisms. MSI has also been used to clarify the localization of natural products in plant tissues.
This review summarizes the recent research related to MSI technology in Japan.
