Molecular imaging of drug transit through the blood-brain barrier with MALDI mass spectrometry imaging.
...Published in Scientific reports
Drug transit through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is essential for therapeutic responses in malignant glioma. Conventional methods for assessment of BBB penetrance require synthesis of isotopically labeled drug derivatives. Here, we report a new methodology using matrix assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) to ...
