MALDI Imaging Mass Spectrometry
C2B2 Core Research Area
MALDI Imaging Mass Spectrometry (MALDI IMS) is revolutionizing the way we analyze the spatial distribution of metabolites, lipids, and proteins in biological tissues. At C2B2, we are leveraging this cutting-edge technology to study both animal and plant tissues, with a focus on understanding their biochemical landscapes and uncovering novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
With MALDI IMS, you can now observe molecular patterns directly in tissue sections, providing a fresh perspective on how molecular variations impact complex biological systems. This technique is incredibly useful in studying disease mechanisms, tracking drug distribution and metabolism, and discovering potential therapeutic targets in animal tissues. For example, it allows for the precise mapping of tissue toxicity biomarkers, uncovering the spatial differences in drug metabolism that could potentially enhance treatment approaches. Using MALDI IMS in plant tissues allows us to precisely identify the specific areas where bioactive compounds are produced and stored. This valuable information can then be used to extract and utilize these compounds in various applications, such as pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. This method is extremely useful for studying the process of how plants create and store bioactive substances. This knowledge can be used to advance agricultural techniques and create new plant-derived products. Our research involves the application of MALDI IMS to a variety of animal and plant tissues, utilizing advanced data analysis techniques to interpret the complex datasets generated. We combine this with complementary methods such as histology and molecular biology to validate our findings and provide a holistic view of tissue biochemistry. Further, it aims to enhance our understanding of biological processes at the molecular level, which will contribute to the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods in medicine. Our research encompasses both animal and plant tissues, with the goal of connecting these fields and encouraging collaborations and innovations that can enhance health and sustainability. |
