DOI: 10.1021/acs.analchem.7b00125
Abstract: Using label-free ToF-SIMS imaging mass spectrometry, we generated a map of small molecules differentially expressed in the Drosophila wing imaginal disc. The distributions of these moieties were in line with gene expression patterns observed during… read more here.
