abstract = {Trace metals are essential in life science and play a major
role in biological processes. Knowledge of spatial
distribution of metals and metal-containing proteins is
fundamental for understanding the pathophysiology of
metalloproteins, the impact of metal metabolism and
metal-containing deposits in healthy brains and brains of
patients suffering from neurological diseases. In recent
years, there has been a growing interest in studying metal
imaging in biological and especially in clinical tissues. In
most neurodegenerative diseases, abnormal metal deposition
has been observed within the brain (e.g., in Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's or Wilson diseases). Laser-induced mass
spectrometry is a novel emerging analytical tool to generate
two- and three-dimensional maps of the distribution of
elements, isotopes and molecules in different systems. Laser
ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry
(LA-ICP-MS) is one of the most important inorganic mass
spectrometric technique for solid materials and has been
successfully applied to produce quantitative images of
detailed regionally specific element distributions in thin
soft tissue sections of biological and clinical samples. The
spatial resolved “BrainMet” techniques (BrainMet –
Bioimaging of Metals in Brain and Metallomics) developed at
Research Centre Juelich have been created and established
for metal distribution studies in thin biomedical
cryosection and it can be employed for fundamental
biomedical investigation of biochemical pathways up to
single cell level and in future for disease diagnostics and
neuroprotective therapies of neurological disorders.},
