Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles
This journal focuses on mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), particularly matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI). It covers applications in visualizing molecular distributions in biological tissues, including metabolomics, proteomics, and lipid analysis. The journal also explores MSI's role in pharmaceutical research for drug development, biodistribution, and toxicity studies, as well as its use in understanding ocular diseases and microbial metabolites. Methodological advancements, such as integration with ion mobility spectrometry and sample preparation techniques, are also discussed.
