"combining 2 complex techniques: mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and spatially resolved transcriptomics (SRT)... visualize both low-molecular metabolites, such as signaling molecules in brain, and RNA transcripts in same biological tissue section... enables exploring connection between gene expression and molecular activity at higher level... spatial biology and pathological research such as neurobiology and oncology"
