UQ Researchers Discover New Lipid-Based Pathway Essential for Memory Formation

Nanoneedles enable spatiotemporal lipidomics of living tissues

Spatial biology provides high-content diagnostic information by mapping the molecular composition of tissues. However, traditional spatial biology approaches typically require non-living samples, limiting temporal analysis. Here, to address this limitation, we present a workflow using porous silicon nanoneedles to repeatedly collect biomolecules from live brain tissues and map lipid distribution through desorption electrospray ionization mass sp…
