Abstract
1and has been initially targeted for the analysis of peptides and proteins present on or near the surface of tissue sections 2 . Imaging MS brings a new tool to bear on the problem of unraveling and understanding the molecular complexities of cells. It joins techniques such as immunochemistry and fluorescence microscopy for the study of the spatial arrangement of molecules within biological tissues. Many previous experiments using MS to image samples have focused on the measurement of the distribution of elements and small molecules in biological specimens, including tissue slices and individual cells 3‐5 . An extensive review on imaging by MS can be found in the article by Pacholski and Winograd 6

Mass Spectrometry Sampling Under Ambient Conditions with Desorption Electrospray Ionization

TL;DR: The DESI phenomenon was observed both in the case of conductive and insulator surfaces and for compounds ranging from nonpolar small molecules such as lycopene, the alkaloid coniceine, and small drugs, through polar compounds such as peptides and proteins.

Molecular Imaging of Biological Samples: Localization of Peptides and Proteins Using MALDI-TOF MS

TL;DR: Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) has been used to generate ion images of samples in one or more mass-to-charge (m/z) values, providing the capability of mapping specific molecules to two-dimensional coordinates of the original sample.

Isolation and characterization of human malignant glioma cells from histologically normal brain

TL;DR: Tumor cells were cultured from histologically normal brain acquired from a distance greater than 4 cm from the gross tumor, indicating the relative insensitivity of standard histopathological identification of invasive glioma cells (and hence the inadequacy of frozen-section evaluation of resection margins).

Direct profiling of proteins in biological tissue sections by MALDI mass spectrometry.

TL;DR: The direct profiling of proteins present in tissue sections for several organs of the mouse has been accomplished using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS), with unique protein profiles measured from these tissue blots.
