Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A key challenge for mass spectrometry-based lipidome analysis is high sensitivity and stability to meet the need for high-resolution molecular imaging, single-cell analysis, and in situ structural elucidation. Current analysis based on mass spectrometry imaging and spatial lipidomics has made fruitful progress and has achieved or surpassed cellular resolution. Significant progress has also been made in lipid isomer imaging and high-throughput single-cell analysis. In addition, it can be seen that the introduction of ion mobility mass spectrometry, multimodality imaging, and artificial intelligence techniques will further advance the development of imaging and spatial lipidomic analysis.
Through this Special Issue, “Imaging and Spatial Lipidomic Analysis”, we aim to highlight primary research studies and literature reviews that focus on lipid mass spectrometry imaging, spatial, and structural lipidomics, and their applications. We welcome a wide range of research areas and interests, including and not limited to analytical chemistry, biomedical sciences, environmental health sciences, pharmaceuticals, food analysis, and plant sciences.
The Special Issue is open for submission now. We invite leading researchers to submit their previously unpublished and novel research in this area. A proper extension may be granted. Please kindly let us know in advance.
Dr. Jianing Wang
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
