Ever wonder how scientists analyze tiny molecules? They transform them into charged gases for a closer look!⚡🔍

In this week's #Explained post, take a close look on Electrospray Ionization, and how it can help analyze molecules through MS! 🧪

Have fun Michael Witting !

Our bodies’ metabolites change as we age 👵🏻In fact, some compounds such as lipids, change immediately from 👶🏻 newborns to older children 🧒🏻

How can MS/MS help identify compounds? 🤔
Through fragments! Different compound classes produce fragments characteristic of their structure.
For example, this #WeekendRead demonstrates identification of phospholipids via MS/MS!

#metabolomics #massspec

We have already showed you that #LCMS is one of the most used techniques in the #metabolomics arsenal. But what else can we use? 🤔🤔

In today's #Explained post, check out some alternatives for blood analysis, like Gas Chromatography and NMR!

We have learned that DBS cards are pretty stable. But the big question is —how long can you store them? 🧐

This #WeekendRead shows that reliable biomarkers for CHD in babies 👶🏻 can be reliably detected for more than a decade! ➡️ bit.ly/3OSdb5p

How we move can provide surprising information 🏃🏻
In the case of ions, their movement can provide insights on their shape, geometry, and mass.

This week’s #Explained post, we’re looking into ion mobility, a special technique combined to #LCMS systems! 🧪

Olives 🫒 + supplements 💊 + athletes 🏊🏻‍♀️ = ❓
This #WeekendRead poses an interesting question: can supplements affect athletic performance? The short answer is yes, since supplements affect certain metabolic pathways in body. Interested? bit.ly/4a1DBtN

#metabolomics

Life's blueprint goes beyond the gene.🧬👩‍🔬 To understand how life works from a molecular up to an organism level, we use Systems Biology. 💻 In today's #Explained post, we're going to talk about how we can look at life from a bigger picture.

Great to see this paper out in PLOS Comp Biol Hoping it enables more people to integrate #multiomics data using biological #pathways , especially with #metabolomics ! Fantastic to work with Fabien Jourdan aka Fabien Jourdan, Juliette Cooke, Clément Frainay and team in Toulouse 👍👍

HUMAN PIs  Fabien Jourdan  and Michael Witting showcase APEX (Annotation Propagation through multiple EXperimental Networks), a groundbreaking workflow integrating multiple networks for precise metabolite identification. (bit.ly/48eJH8G) #metabolomics #massspec
