HELSINKI, March 10, 2023 - Lipidomics Consulting Ltd, a front-running lipidomics company that is fundamentally changing how understanding the mechanistic and metabolic details of lipids are investigated in disease, together with scientists at University of Wollongong (UoW) and Aspect Analytics NV have received a grant...

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) is an emerging label-free method for mapping the distribution of diverse molecular species in tissue sections. Despite recent progress in MALDI-MSI analyses of lipids, it is still difficult to visualize minor bioactive lipids including lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and...

Parkinson's disease (PD) affects more than 6 million people worldwide. Glycosphingolipids are natural cellular fats and part of the PD epidemiology. They are components of cellular membranes that fulfill multiple functional roles, from cell structure and transport to signalling. However, the contribution of glycosphingolipids to...

Modern mass spectrometric technologies provide quantitative readouts for a wide variety of lipid specimens. However, many studies do not report absolute lipid concentrations and differ vastly in methodologies, workflows and data presentation. Therefore, we encourage researchers to engage with the Lipidomics Standards Initiative to develop...
