TL;DR: It is shown that increased lipid unsaturation is a metabolic marker for ovarian CSCs and a target for CSC-specific therapy and Mechanistically, it is demonstrated that nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) directly regulates the expression levels of lipid desaturases, and inhibition of desaturase blocks NF-κBs signaling.

TL;DR: By coupling Paternò-Büchi (P-B) reaction with tandem mass spectrometry, a novel method is developed that can achieve confident, fast, and sensitive determination of double bond locations within various types of lipids.

TL;DR: An analytical tool for both identification and quantitation of lipid C=C location isomers from complex mixtures using online Paternò–Büchi reaction coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).

TL;DR: A low temperature plasma probe constructed using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) and employed for the detection of explosives on a variety of substrates under ambient conditions allowed direct detection of trace explosives on both conductive and non-conductive substrates, thus expanding the applicability ofLow temperature plasma desorption mass spectrometry.

TL;DR: A novel IMS method that uses a low-temperature plasma (LTP) probe as an ion source for the analysis of paintings and calligraphy and is animproved version based upon the previously reported dielec-tric barrier discharge ionization (DBDI) source.
