Abstract
Tartary buckwheat, celebrated as the "king of grains" for its flavonoid and phenolic acid richness, has health-promoting properties. Despite significant morphological and metabolic variations in mature achenes, research on their developmental process is limited. Utilizing Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and atmospheric pressure matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging, we conducted spatial-temporal metabolomics on two cultivars during achene development. Metabolic profiles including 17 phenolic acids and 83 flavonoids are influenced by both varietal distinctions and developmental intricacies. Notably, flavonols, as major flavonoids, accumulated with achene ripening and showed a tissue-specific distribution. Specifically, flavonol glycosides and aglycones concentrated in the embryo, while methylated flavonols and procyanidins in the hull. Black achenes at the green achene stage have higher bioactive compounds and enhanced antioxidant capacity. These findings provide insights into spatial and temporal characteristics of metabolites in Tartary buckwheat achenes and serve as a theoretical guide for selecting optimal resources for food production.

Abstract
Optimizing the metabolic phenotype to improve cerebral function is critical for treatment of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Guhong injection (GHI), which comprised safflower extract and aceglutamide, is widely prescribed in Chinese medicine for the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. In this study, a combination of LC-QQQ-MS and MALDI-MSI were utilized to explore tissue-specific metabolic alterations in the brain of I/R, as well as to evaluate the therapeutic effect of GHI. Pharmacological evaluation demonstrated that GHI can significantly improve infarction rate, neurological deficit, cerebral blood flow, and neuronal damage in I/R rats. Based on LC-QQQ-MS, 23 energy metabolites were found to be significantly altered in the I/R group compared to the sham group (P < 0.05). After GHI treatment, 12 metabolites, including G6P, TPP, NAD, citrate, succinate, malate, ATP, GTP, GDP, ADP, NADP, and FMN showed a significant tendency of returning to baseline values (P < 0.05). Based on MALDI-MSI, 4 metabolites in glycolysis and TCA, 4 metabolites in nucleic acid metabolism, 4 amino acid metabolites, and 6 metabolites were discovered and compared between the different groups in the four special regions of cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and striatum. Parts of these were found to have significant changes after I/R in the special brain region, and were regulated by GHI. The study provides comprehensive and detailed information for specific metabolic reprogramming of brain tissue in rats with I/R, and the therapeutic effect of GHI. Schema describing the discovery strategies of integrated LC-MS and MALDI-MSI to identify cerebral ischemia reperfusion metabolic reprogramming and GHI therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids in lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) seed plumules and leaves exhibit significant tissue specificity for their pharmacological effects and potential nutritional properties. Herein, 46 benzylisoquinoline alkaloids were identified via UPLC-QTOF-HRMS, of which 9 were annotated as glycosylated monobenzylisoquinoline alkaloids concentrated in the seed plumules. The spatial distribution of targeted benzylisoquinoline alkaloids in leaves, seed plumules, and milky sap was determined via MALDI-MSI. Furthermore, 37 Nelumbo cultivars were investigated using targeted metabolomics to provide insights into functional tea development. While aporphine alkaloids comprised the main compounds present in lotus leaves, bisbenzylisoquinoline alkaloids were the main compounds in lotus plumules, where glycosylation primarily occurs. These findings can help understand the distribution of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids in lotus tissue and the directional breeding of varieties enriched with specific chemical functional groups for nutritional and pharmacological applications.

Abstract
Noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) are low-risk thyroid lesions most often characterised by RAS-type mutations. The histological diagnosis may be challenging, and even immunohistochemistry and molecular approaches have not yet provided conclusive solutions. This study characterises a set of NIFTPs by Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation (MALDI)-Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MSI) to highlight the proteomic signatures capable of overcoming histological challenges. Archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples from 10 NIFTPs (n = 6 RAS-mutated and n = 4 RAS-wild type) were trypsin-digested and analysed by MALDI-MSI, comparing their profiles to normal tissue and synchronous benign nodules. This allowed the definition of a four-peptide signature able to distinguish RAS-mutant from wild-type cases, the latter showing proteomic similarities to hyperplastic nodules. Moreover, among the differentially expressed signals, Peptidylprolyl Isomerase A (PPIA, 1505.8 m/z), which has already demonstrated a role in the development of cancer, was found overexpressed in NIFTP RAS-mutated nodules compared to wild-type lesions. These results underlined that high-throughput proteomic approaches may add a further level of biological comprehension for NIFTPs. In the future, thanks to the powerful single-cell detail achieved by new instruments, the complementary NGS-MALDI imaging sequence might be the correct methodological approach to confirm that the current NIFTP definition encompasses heterogeneous lesions that must be further characterised.

Abstract
Information on spatiotemporal metabolic behavior is indispensable for a precise understanding of physiological changes and responses, including those of ripening processes and wounding stress, in fruit, but such information is still limited. Here, we visualized the spatial distribution of metabolites within tissue sections of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) fruit using a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) technique combined with a matrix sublimation/recrystallization method. This technique elucidated the unique distribution patterns of more than 30 metabolite-derived ions, including primary and secondary metabolites, simultaneously. To investigate spatiotemporal metabolic alterations during physiological changes at the whole-tissue level, MALDI-MSI was performed using the different ripening phenotypes of mature green and mature red tomato fruits. Although apparent alterations in the localization and intensity of many detected metabolites were not observed between the two tomatoes, the amounts of glutamate and adenosine monophosphate, umami compounds, increased in both mesocarp and locule regions during the ripening process. In contrast, malate, a sour compound, decreased in both regions. MALDI-MSI was also applied to evaluate more local metabolic responses to wounding stress. Accumulations of a glycoalkaloid, tomatine, and a low level of its glycosylated metabolite, esculeoside A, were found in the wound region where cell death had been induced. Their inverse levels were observed in non-wounded regions. Furthermore, the amounts of both compounds differed in the developmental stages. Thus, our MALDI-MSI technique increased the understanding of the physiological changes and responses of tomato fruit through the determination of spatiotemporally resolved metabolic alterations.
