We have developed a method for dissecting single neurons from the nematode Ascaris
suum, in order to determine their peptide content by mass spectrometry (MS). In this paper …

Utilization of MALDI‐MS (matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry) for
tissue imaging is a relatively new proteomic technique that simultaneously maps the spatial …

Three dimensional mass spectral imaging (3D MSI) is an exciting field that grants the ability
to study a broad mass range of molecular species ranging from small molecules to large …

Tachykinin-related peptide (TRP) refers to a large and structurally diverse family of
neuropeptides found in vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems. These peptides have …

Recently developed sample preparation techniques employing hydrophobic sample support
have improved the detection sensitivity and mass spectral quality of matrix-assisted laser …

RATIONALE The crustacean stomatogastric nervous system (STNS) is a classic
experimental model to derive basic knowledge about neuronal functions and how they …

Organisms have to constantly respond to environmental conditions to maintain a status of
dynamic homeostasis for survival. As single celled organisms evolved into multicellular …

MALDI imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) is a powerful analytical technique that has been
used to map the spatial distribution of biomolecules in an increasing variety of normal and …

Due to the complexity of the mammalian central nervous system, neuropeptidomic studies in
mammals often yield very complicated mass spectra that make data analysis difficult. Careful …
