| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mass microscopy (mass spectrometry imaging : MSI) is a method to visualize the spatial distribution of molecules in tissue section. This new method will provide important findings for the pathological examination. However, there is some limitations to apply this method to pathological examination. In this study, we establish a new method to enhance the sensitivity and specificity of MSI. In addition, we clarified the pathological meaning of data obtained from MSI analysis of biological samples.
