This review summarizes the applications of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) techniques in pathological research, including disease diagnosis, microbiology, and drug discovery. It also describes the improvements in MSI, such as the accumulation of imaging data sets and identification of significant molecules, that have enhanced its capabilities in pathology practices.
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful technique that reveals the spatial distribution of various molecules in biological samples, and it is widely used in pathology-related research. In this review, we summarize common MSI techniques, including matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization and desorption electrospray ionization MSI, and their applications in pathological research, including disease diagnosis, microbiology, and drug discovery. We also describe the improvements of MSI, focusing on the accumulation of imaging data sets, expansion of chemical coverage, and identification of biological significant molecules, that have prompted the evolution of MSI to meet the requirements of pathology practices. Overall, this review details the applications and improvements of MSI techniques, demonstrating the potential of integrating MSI techniques into next-generation pathology practices.
