DETECTING SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTIONS OF LIPIDS AND PROTEINS DURING EMBRYO IMPLANTATION BY MALDI IMAGING MASS SPECTROMETRY

Molecular events involved in successful embryo implantation take place in defined time and space but are not generally well understood. Here for the first time, we use MALDI Imaging Mass Spectrometry (IMS) technologies to elucidate the spatial patterning of lipids and proteins during embryo implanta...
