Biological systems are composed of heterogeneous populations of cells that intercommunicate to form a functional living tissue. Biological function varies greatly across populations of cells, as each single cell has a unique transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome that translates to functional differences within single species and across kingdoms.

Application of MALDI mass spectrometry for spatially resolved, untargeted metabolomics [PDF]
The field of metabolism research evaluates the molecular basis of many important phenomena in biology and medicine, ranging from cellular function to systemic-level metabolic diseases. Spatial metabolomics investigates these phenomena in situ, by mapping metabolites in their native spatial context.

Comparison of Local Metabolic Changes in Diabetic Rodent Kidneys Using Mass Spectrometry Imaging
Understanding the renal region-specific metabolic alteration in different animal models of diabetic nephropathy (DN) is critical for uncovering the underlying mechanisms and for developing effective treatments.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Spatially and temporally resolved metabolome of the human oral cavity
Saliva is a complex bodily fluid composed of secretions by major and minor salivary glands. Salivary glands and their secretions are known to be unevenly distributed in the human oral cavity. Moreover, saliva flow rate and composition vary across locations and time of the day. This remarkable heterogeneity of salivary secretions suggests that different

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common clinical emergencies characterized by rapid progression, difficulty in early diagnosis, and high mortality. Currently, there are no effective AKI early diagnostic methods and treatments. Therefore, identifying new mechanisms of AKI have become urgent for development new targets for early diagnosis and

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

SMART: An Approach for Accurate Formula Assignment in Spatially Resolved Metabolomics
Abstract Spatially-resolved metabolomics plays a critical role in unraveling tissue-specific metabolic complexities. Despite its significance, this profound technology generates thousands of features, yet accurate annotation significantly lags behind LC-MS-based approaches.
