SPATIAL METABOLOMICS

Zooming in on kidney metabolism

Nature Metabolism volume 4, pages 1089–1090 (2022)Cite this article

Subjects

Mass spectrometry imaging holds promise for mapping the intricate organization of metabolism in complex tissues. Wang et al. combine this exciting technique with metabolic tracing ex vivo to uncover metabolic specialization and adaptation in the mouse kidney.
