What is Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) and its Applications?
Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) combines the capabilities of mass spectrometry with spatial resolution to map the distribution of biomolecules within tissues. It is used to analyze the localization of proteins, lipids, metabolites, and drugs, offering insights into disease mechanisms, drug efficacy, and biomarker discovery. MSI is particularly useful in cancer research, neuroscience, and pharmacology.
