Abstract
In order to push the spatial resolution limits to the nanoscale, synchrotron-based soft X-ray microscopy (XRM) experiments require higher radiation doses to be delivered to materials. Nevertheless, the associated radiation damage impacts on the integrity of delicate biological samples. Herein, the extent of soft X-ray radiation damage in popular thin freeze-dried brain tissue samples mounted onto Si3N4 membranes, as highlighted by Fourier transform infrared microscopy (FTIR), is reported. The freeze-dried tissue samples were found to be affected by general degradation of the vibrational architecture, though these effects were weaker than those observed in paraffin-embedded and hydrated systems reported in the literature. In addition, weak, reversible and specific features of the tissue-Si3N4 interaction could be identified for the first time upon routine soft X-ray exposures, further highlighting the complex interplay between the biological sample, its preparation protocol and X-ray probe.

Abstract
![]()
Mass
spectrometry imaging (MSI) is an established analytical tool
capable of defining and understanding complex tissues by determining
the spatial distribution of biological molecules. Three-dimensional
(3D) cell culture models mimic the pathophysiological environment
of in vivo tumors and are rapidly emerging as a valuable
research tool. Here, multimodal MSI techniques were employed to characterize
a novel aggregated 3D lung adenocarcinoma model, developed by the
group to mimic the in vivo tissue. Regions of tumor
heterogeneity and the hypoxic microenvironment were observed based
on the spatial distribution of a variety of endogenous molecules.
Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI)-MSI defined regions of a
hypoxic core and a proliferative outer layer from metabolite distribution.
Targeted metabolites (e.g., lactate, glutamine, and citrate) were
mapped to pathways of glycolysis and the TCA cycle demonstrating tumor
metabolic behavior. The first application of imaging mass cytometry
(IMC) with 3D cell culture enabled single-cell phenotyping at 1 μm
spatial resolution. Protein markers of proliferation (Ki-67) and hypoxia (glucose transporter 1) defined metabolic
signaling in the aggregoid model, which complemented the metabolite
data. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma (LA-ICP)-MSI analysis
localized endogenous elements including magnesium and copper, further
differentiating the hypoxia gradient and validating the protein expression.
Obtaining a large amount of molecular information on a complementary
nature enabled an in-depth understanding of the biological processes
within the novel tumor model. Combining powerful imaging techniques
to characterize the aggregated 3D culture highlighted a future methodology
with potential applications in cancer research and drug development.

Abstract
Quantitative localization of metals in biological tissue sections is critical to obtain insight into metal toxicity mechanisms or their beneficial characteristics. This study presents the development of a quantitative LA-ICP MS bioimaging methodology based on the polymer film strategy and internal standardization. To maximize the number of elements mapped, an aqueous soluble polymer (dextran) was selected. Among the elements studied, the great majority (eight out eleven), i.e., Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Se, Mo, Cd and Pt, exhibited linear regression after LA-ICP MS analysis of metal-spiked polymer standards. Methodology performances were carefully assessed as a function of the three internal standards (In, Rh and Ir) considered, the analytical operational conditions (ICP power, addition of O2 to ICP, and laser fluency) and the thickness of the biological tissue section. The results indicated that three groups (Co, Mo; Ni, Cu, Pt; and Zn, Se, Cd) of elements could be distinguished from their analytical response as a function of analytical conditions and the internal standard. These different element behaviors appeared to be mainly First Ionization Potential dependent (FIP). For elements with lower FIP (Co, Ni, Cu, Mo and Pt), differential responses due to carbon load in the ICP MS plasma could be efficiently corrected as a function of analytical conditions. Matrix effects were more pronounced for higher FIP elements (i.e., Zn, Cd and Se), and analysis of <10-μm thin sections without the addition of O2 to ICP MS plasma is recommended. LODs are in the range of 0.1-0.5 μg g-1 for Co, Mo, Cu, Ni, Pt and Cd as well as 0.9 and 1 μg g-1 for Zn and Se, respectively. The methodology was validated by means of a homemade metal-spiked kidney homogenate analyzed by LA-ICP MS imaging, and Co, Ni, Cu, Mo, and Pt provided the closest concentrations (5-29% bias) to the target values determined by ICP MS after mineralization. The methodology was applied to two types of clinical human samples undergoing different sample preparation protocols that did not affect internal standard homogeneity in the polymer film. This methodology is the first reported for the quantitative bioimaging of eight elements simultaneously.

Abstract
Examining chemical and structural characteristics of micro-features in complex tissue matrices is essential for understanding biological systems. Advances in multimodal chemical and structural imaging using synchrotron radiation have overcome many issues in correlative imaging, enabling the characterization of distinct microfeatures at nanoscale resolution in ex vivo tissues. We present a nanoscale imaging method that pairs X-ray ptychography and X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) to simultaneously examine structural features and quantify elemental content of microfeatures in complex ex vivo tissues. We examined the neuropathological microfeatures Lewy bodies, aggregations of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) and neuromelanin in human post-mortem Parkinson's disease tissue. Although biometals play essential roles in normal neuronal biochemistry, their dyshomeostasis is implicated in Parkinson's disease aetiology. Here we show that Lewy bodies and SOD1 aggregates have distinct elemental fingerprints yet are similar in structure, whilst neuromelanin exhibits different elemental composition and a distinct, disordered structure. The unique approach we describe is applicable to the structural and chemical characterization of a wide range of complex biological tissues at previously unprecedented levels of detail.

Abstract
The scientific interest in cadmium (Cd) as a human health damaging agent has significantly increased over the past decades. However, particularly the histological distribution of Cd in human tissues is still scarcely defined. Using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), we determined the concentration of Cd in 40 different human tissues of four body donors and provided spatial information by elemental imaging on the microscopic distribution of Cd in 8 selected tissues by laser ablation (LA)-ICP-MS. ICP-MS results show that Cd concentrations differ by a factor of 20 000 between different tissues. Apart from the well know deposits in kidney, bone, and liver, our study provides evidence that muscle and adipose tissue are underestimated Cd pools. For the first time, we present spatially resolved Cd distributions in a broad panel of human soft tissues. The defined histological structures are mirrored by sharp cut differences in Cd concentrations between neighboring tissue types, particularly in the rectum, testis, and kidneys. The spatial resolution of the Cd distribution at microscopic level visualized intratissue hot spots of Cd accumulation and is suggested as a powerful tool to elucidate metal based toxicity at histological level.

Abstract
Mutations in the copper (Cu)- and zinc (Zn)-binding metalloenzyme Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1) cause familial forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system (CNS). Transgenic over-expression of mutant SOD1 produces a robust ALS-like phenotype in mice. Despite being ubiquitously expressed from the moment of conception, the mechanisms underlying the CNS-selective phenotype of mutant SOD1 expression remain poorly understood. We have previously shown that the physiological requirement for copper in SOD1 is unsatiated in the CNS of adult mice overexpressing mutant SOD1 and that suboptimal delivery of Cu to SOD1 in these mice progressively worsens with age. An age-related impediment to Cu availability may therefore contribute to the adult onset of disease in cases of ALS caused by mutant SOD1. Here, we have extended the age-related investigation of Cu in SOD1 overexpressing transgenic mice to the embryonic stage of development. We used the quantitative in situ elemental imaging method, laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), to assess the endogenous distribution of Cu, Zn and other endogenous elements (carbon, phosphorus, sulphur, magnesium, manganese and iron) in the embryonic day 14 (E14) embryos of transgenic mice overexpressing wild-type human SOD1 (hSOD1Wt) or mutant human SOD1 (hSOD1G37R). We show that in contrast to adult mice, SOD1 overexpression (both wild-type and mutant) is associated with an overt redistribution of Cu from the liver to the CNS during embryonic development. Also in contrast to adult mice, Zn redistribution to the CNS in response to SOD1 over-expression is relatively modest in embryonic mice, being limited to the brainstem. No other elemental changes between genotypes were observed. Our application of quantitative LA-ICP-MS in situ imaging details the first anatomical mapping of endogenous elements in embryonic mice. The observed redistribution of Cu from the liver to the CNS in response to SOD1 overexpression during embryogenesis indicates that the impediment of Cu delivery to SOD1, which is evident in adult mutant SOD1 overexpressing mice, only occurs at a later stage in life.

Abstract
To know how much of a metal species is in a particular location within a biological context at any given time is essential for understanding the intricate roles of metals in biology and is the fundamental question upon which the field of metallomics was born. Simply put, seeing is powerful. With the combination of spectroscopy and microscopy, we can now see metals within complex biological matrices complemented by information about associated molecules and their structures. With the addition of mass spectrometry and particle beam based techniques, the field of view grows to cover greater sensitivities and spatial resolutions, addressing structural, functional and quantitative metallomic questions from the atomic level to whole body processes. In this perspective, I present a paradigm shift in the way we relate to and integrate current and developing metallomic analytics, highlighting both familiar and perhaps less well-known state of the art techniques for in situ metallomic imaging, specific biological applications, and their use in correlative studies. There is a genuine need to abandon scientific silos and, through the establishment of a metallomic scientific platform for further development of multidimensional analytics for in situ metallomic imaging, we have an incredible opportunity to enhance the field of metallomics and demonstrate how discovery research can be done more effectively.

Abstract
A unique combination of sensitivity, resolution, and penetration make X-ray fluorescence imaging (XFI) ideally suited to investigate trace elemental distributions in the biological context. XFI has gained widespread use as an analytical technique in the biological sciences, and in particular enables exciting new avenues of research in the field of neuroscience. In this study, elemental mapping by XFI was applied to characterise the elemental content within neuronal cell layers of hippocampal sub-regions of mice and rats. Although classical histochemical methods for metal detection exist, such approaches are typically limited to qualitative analysis. Specifically, histochemical methods are not uniformly sensitive to all chemical forms of a metal, often displaying variable sensitivity to specific "pools" or chemical forms of a metal. In addition, histochemical methods require fixation and extensive chemical treatment of samples, creating the strong likelihood for metal redistribution, leaching, or contamination. Direct quantitative elemental mapping of total elemental pools, in situ within ex vivo tissue sections, without the need for chemical fixation or addition of staining reagents is not possible with traditional histochemical methods; however, such a capability, which is provided by XFI, can offer an enormous analytical advantage. The results we report herein demonstrate the analytical advantage of XFI elemental mapping for direct, label-free metal quantification, in situ within ex vivo brain tissue sections. Specifically, we definitively characterise for the first time, the abundance of Fe within the pyramidal cell layers of the hippocampus. Localisation of Fe to this cell layer is not reproducibly achieved with classical Perls histochemical Fe stains. The ability of XFI to directly quantify neuronal elemental (P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn) distributions, revealed unique profiles of Fe and Zn within anatomical sub-regions of the hippocampus i.e., cornu ammonis 1, 2 or 3 (CA1, CA2 or CA3) sub-regions. Interestingly, our study reveals a unique Fe gradient across neuron populations within the non-degenerating and pathology free rat hippocampus, which curiously mirrors the pattern of region-specific vulnerability of the hippocampus that has previously been established to occur in various neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM) is a powerful technique to elucidate the distribution of elements within plants. However, accumulated radiation exposure during analysis can lead to structural damage and experimental artefacts including elemental redistribution. To date, acceptable dose limits have not been systematically established for hydrated plant specimens. METHODS Here we systematically explore acceptable dose rate limits for investigating fresh sunflower (Helianthus annuus) leaf and root samples and investigate the time-dose damage in leaves attached to live plants. KEY RESULTS We find that dose limits in fresh roots and leaves are comparatively low (4.1 kGy), based on localized disintegration of structures and element-specific redistribution. In contrast, frozen-hydrated samples did not incur any apparent damage even at doses as high as 587 kGy. Furthermore, we find that for living plants subjected to XFM measurement in vivo and grown for a further 9 d before being reimaged with XFM, the leaves display elemental redistribution at doses as low as 0.9 kGy and they continue to develop bleaching and necrosis in the days after exposure. CONCLUSIONS The suggested radiation dose limits for studies using XFM to examine plants are important for the increasing number of plant scientists undertaking multidimensional measurements such as tomography and repeated imaging using XFM.

Abstract
Metalloproteins comprise over one-third of proteins, with approximately half of all enzymes requiring metal to function. Accurate identification of these metal atoms and their environment is a prerequisite to understanding biological mechanism. Using ion beam analysis through particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE), we have quantitatively identified the metal atoms in 30 previously structurally characterized proteins using minimal sample volume and a high-throughput approach. Over half of these metals had been misidentified in the deposited structural models. Some of the PIXE detected metals not seen in the models were explainable as artifacts from promiscuous crystallization reagents. For others, using the correct metal improved the structural models. For multinuclear sites, anomalous diffraction signals enabled the positioning of the correct metals to reveal previously obscured biological information. PIXE is insensitive to the chemical environment, but coupled with experimental diffraction data deposited alongside the structural model it enables validation and potential remediation of metalloprotein models, improving structural and, more importantly, mechanistic knowledge.

Abstract
The resolution of laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) elemental bioimaging is usually constrained by the diameter of the laser spot size and is often not adequate to explore in situ subcellular distributions of elements and proteins in biological tissue sections. Super-resolution reconstruction is a method typically used for many imaging modalities and combines multiple lower resolution images to create a higher resolution image. Here, we present a super-resolution reconstruction method for LA-ICP-MS imaging by ablating consecutive layers of a biological specimen with offset orthogonal scans, resulting in a 10× improvement in resolution for quantitative measurement of dystrophin in murine muscle fibers. Layer-by-layer image reconstruction was also extended to the third dimension without the requirement of image registration across multiple thin section specimens. Quantitative super-resolution reconstruction, combined with Gaussian filtering and application of the Richardson-Lucy total variation algorithm, provided superior image clarity and fidelity in two- and three-dimensions.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal control of metal-ion sensors for imaging metal ions in living cells is important for understanding the distribution and fluctuation of metal ions. Reported here is the endogenous and bioorthogonal activation of a DNAzyme fluorescent sensor containing an 18-base pair recognition site of a homing endonuclease (I-SceI), which is found by chance only once in 7×1010 bp of genomic sequences, and can thus form a near bioorthogonal pair with I-SceI for DNAzyme activation with minimal effect on living cells. Once I-SceI is expressed inside cells, it cleaves at the recognition site, allowing the DNAzyme to adopt its active conformation. The activated DNAzyme sensor is then able to specifically catalyze cleavage of a substrate strand in the presence of Mg2+ to release the fluorophore-labeled DNA fragment and produce a fluorescent turn-on signal for Mg2+ . Thus I-SceI bioorthogonally activates the 10-23 DNAzyme for imaging of Mg2+ in HeLa cells.

Abstract
The complex network of chemical processes that sustain life motivates the development of new synthetic tools to decipher biological mechanisms of action at a molecular level. In this context, fluorescent and related optical probes have emerged as useful chemical reagents for monitoring small-molecule and metal signals in biological systems, enabling visualization of dynamic cellular events with spatial and temporal resolution. In particular, metals occupy a central role in this field as analytes in their own right, while also being leveraged for their unique biocompatible reactivity with small-molecule substrates. This Viewpoint highlights the use of inorganic chemistry principles to develop activity-based sensing platforms mediated by metal reactivity, spanning indicators for metal detection to metal-based reagents for bioorthogonal tracking, and manipulation of small and large biomolecules, illustrating the privileged roles of metals at the interface of chemistry and biology.

Abstract
Prostatic zinc content is a known biomarker for discriminating normal healthy tissue from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PCa). Given that zinc content is not readily measured without a tissue biopsy, we have been exploring noninvasive imaging methods to detect these diagnostic differences using a zinc-responsive MRI contrast agent. During imaging studies in mice, we observed that a bolus of glucose stimulates secretion of zinc from the prostate of fasted mice. This discovery allowed the use of a Gd-based zinc sensor to detect differential zinc secretion in regions of healthy versus malignant prostate tissue in a transgenic adenocarcinoma mouse model of PCa. Here, we used a zinc-responsive MRI agent to detect zinc release across the prostate during development of malignancy and confirm the loss of total tissue zinc by synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (μSR-XRF). Quantitative μSR-XRF results show that the lateral lobe of the mouse prostate uniquely accumulates high concentrations of zinc, 1.06 ± 0.08 mM, and that the known loss of zinc content in the prostate is only observed in the lateral lobe during development of PCa. Additionally, we confirm that lesions identified by a loss of zinc secretion indeed represent malignant neoplasia and that the relative zinc concentration in the lesion is reduced to 0.370 ± 0.001 mM. The μSR-XRF data also provided insights into the mechanism of zinc secretion by showing that glucose promotes movement of zinc pools (∼1 mM) from the glandular lumen of the lateral lobe of the mouse prostate into the stromal/smooth muscle surrounding the glands. Co-localization of zinc and gadolinium in the stromal/smooth muscle areas as detected by μSR-XRF confirm that glucose initiates secretion of zinc from intracellular compartments into the extracellular spaces of the gland where it binds to the Gd-based agent and albumin promoting MR image enhancement.

Abstract
RATIONALE Previous studies found that charge state could affect both specific and nonspecific binding of protein-metal ion interactions in nanoelectrospray ionization mass spectrometry (nESI-MS). However, the two kinds of interactions have been studied individually in spite of the problem that they often coexist in the same system. Thus, it is necessary to study the effects of charge state on specific and nonspecific protein-metal ion interactions in one system to reveal more accurate binding state. METHODS The HIV-1 nucleocapsid protein (NCp7(31-55)) which can bind specifically and nonspecifically to Zn2+ served as the model to show the charge-dependent protein-metal ion interactions. Hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) and photodissociation (PD) were used to demonstrate that specific binding state was correlated with protein structure. In addition to NCp7(31-55), three other model proteins were used to investigate the reason for the charge-dependent nonspecific binding. RESULTS For specific binding, we proposed that protein ions with different charge states had different conformations. The HDX results showed that labile protons in the NCp7(31-55)-Zn complex were exchanged in a charge-state-dependent way. The PD experiments revealed differential fragment yields for different charge states. For nonspecific binding, higher charge states had more Zn2+ additions, but less SO4 2- additions. The effects of charge states on nonspecific binding levels were entirely the opposite for Zn2+ and SO4 2- . These results could reveal that the nonspecific binding was caused by electrostatic interaction. CONCLUSIONS For specific binding, NCp7(31-55) with lower charge states have folding and undenatured structures. The binding states of lower charge states can better reflect more native binding states. For nonspecific binding, when multiple metal ions adduct to proteins, the proteins have more net positive charges, which tend to generate higher charge ions during electrospray.

Abstract
Multi-elemental imaging of soft tissues using Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, also known as LIBS, allows for the direct visualization of the distribution of endogenous or exogenous elements within tissues. LIBS was used to image the kinetics of metal nanoparticles in elimination organs, but also the physiological distribution of biological elements in situ and the topography of chemicals or metals in exposed human tissues. Based on our experience and recent literature in the field of imaging the elemental content of animal and human specimens, this review describes the principle and characteristics of the instrument, technical considerations for setting up experiments with LIBS, its advantages, limitations and possibilities for pre-clinical and medical applications.

Abstract
Iron dysregulation is implicated in numerous diseases, and iron homeostasis is profoundly influenced by the labile iron pool (LIP). Tools to easily observe changes in the LIP are limited, with calcein AM-based assays most widely used. We describe here FlCFe1, a ratiometric analogue of calcein AM, which also provides the capacity for imaging iron in 3D cell models.

Abstract
Copper is essential for life, and beyond its well-established ability to serve as a tightly bound, redox-active active site cofactor for enzyme function, emerging data suggest that cellular copper also exists in labile pools, defined as loosely bound to low-molecular-weight ligands, which can regulate diverse transition metal signaling processes spanning neural communication and olfaction, lipolysis, rest-activity cycles, and kinase pathways critical for oncogenic signaling. To help decipher this growing biology, we report a first-generation ratiometric fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) copper probe, FCP-1, for activity-based sensing of labile Cu(I) pools in live cells. FCP-1 links fluorescein and rhodamine dyes through a Tris[(2-pyridyl)methyl]amine bridge. Bioinspired Cu(I)-induced oxidative cleavage decreases FRET between fluorescein donor and rhodamine acceptor. FCP-1 responds to Cu(I) with high metal selectivity and oxidation-state specificity and facilitates ratiometric measurements that minimize potential interferences arising from variations in sample thickness, dye concentration, and light intensity. FCP-1 enables imaging of dynamic changes in labile Cu(I) pools in live cells in response to copper supplementation/depletion, differential expression of the copper importer CTR1, and redox stress induced by manipulating intracellular glutathione levels and reduced/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) ratios. FCP-1 imaging reveals a labile Cu(I) deficiency induced by oncogene-driven cellular transformation that promotes fluctuations in glutathione metabolism, where lower GSH/GSSG ratios decrease labile Cu(I) availability without affecting total copper levels. By connecting copper dysregulation and glutathione stress in cancer, this work provides a valuable starting point to study broader cross-talk between metal and redox pathways in health and disease with activity-based probes.

Abstract
A central goal of chemical biology is to develop molecular probes that enable fundamental studies of cellular systems. In the hierarchy of bioactive molecules, the so-called ionophore class occupies an unflattering position in the lower branches, with typical labels being "non-specific" and "toxic". In fact, the mere possibility that a candidate molecule possesses "ionophore activity" typically prompts its removal from further studies; ionophores-from a chemical genetics perspective-are molecular outlaws. In stark contrast to this overall poor reputation of ionophores, synthetic chemistry owes some of its most amazing achievements to studies of ionophore natural products, in particular the carboxyl polyethers renowned for their intricate molecular structures. These compounds have for decades been academic battlegrounds where new synthetic methodology is tested and retrosynthetic tactics perfected. Herein, we review the most exciting recent advances in carboxyl polyether ionophore (CPI) synthesis and in addition discuss the burgeoning field of CPI chemical biology.

Abstract
Copper is one of the most important transition metals in many organisms where it catalyzes a manifold of different processes. As a result of copper's redox activity, organisms have to avoid unbound ions, and a dysfunctional copper homeostasis may lead to multifarious pathological processes in cells with very severe ramifications for the affected organisms. In many neurodegenerative diseases, however, the exact role of copper ions is still not completely clarified. In this work, a high-affinity and highly selective copper probe molecule, based on the naturally occurring tetrapeptide DAHK is synthesized. The sensor (log KD = - 12.8 ± 0.1) is tagged with a fluorescent BODIPY dye whose fluorescence lifetime distinctly decreases from 5.8 ns ± 0.2 ns to 0.4 ns ± 0.1 ns on binding to copper(II) cations. It is shown by using fluorescence lifetime correlation spectroscopy that the concentration of both probe and probe-copper complex can be simultaneously measured even at nanomolar concentration levels. This work presents a possible starting point for a new type of probe and method for future in vivo studies to further reveal the exact role of copper ions in organisms. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The incidence of brain disease and brain disorders is increasing on a global scale. Unfortunately, development of new therapeutic strategies has not increased at the same rate, and brain diseases and brain disorders now inflict substantial health and economic impacts. A greater understanding of the fundamental neurochemistry that underlies healthy brain function, and the chemical pathways that manifest in brain damage or malfunction, are required to enable and accelerate therapeutic development. A previous limitation to the study of brain function and malfunction has been the limited number of techniques that provide both a wealth of biochemical information, and spatially resolved information (i.e., there was a previous lack of techniques that provided direct biochemical or elemental imaging at the cellular level). In recent times, a suite of direct spectroscopic imaging techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray fluorescence microscopy (XFM), and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) have been adapted, optimized and integrated into the field of neuroscience, to fill the above mentioned capability-gap. Advancements at synchrotron light sources, such as improved light intensity/flux, increased detector sensitivities and new capabilities of imaging/optics, has pushed the above suite of techniques beyond "proof-of-concept" studies, to routine application to study complex research problems in the field of neuroscience (and other scientific disciplines). This review examines several of the major advancements that have occurred over the last several years, with respect to FTIR, XFM and XAS capabilities at synchrotron facilities, and how the increases in technical capabilities have being integrated and used in the field of neuroscience.

Abstract
Plastic pollution is ubiquitous in aquatic environments and its potential impacts to wildlife and humans present a growing global concern. Despite recent efforts in understanding environmental impacts associated with plastic pollution, considerable uncertainties still exist regarding the true risks of nano- and micro-sized plastics (<5 mm). The challenges faced in this field largely relate to the methodological and analytical limitations associated with studying plastic debris at low (environmentally relevant) concentrations. The present paper highlights how radiotracing techniques that are commonly applied to trace the fate and behaviour of chemicals and particles in various systems, can contribute towards addressing several important and outstanding questions in environmental plastic pollution research. Specifically, we discuss the use of radiolabeled microplastics and/or chemicals for 1) determining sorption/desorption kinetics of a range of contaminants to different types of plastics under varying conditions, 2) understanding the influence of microplastics on contaminant and nutrient bioaccumulation in aquatic organisms, and 3) assessing biokinetics, biodistribution, trophic transfer and potential biological impacts of microplastic at realistic concentrations. Radiotracer techniques are uniquely suited for this research because of their sensitivity, accuracy and capacity to measure relevant parameters over time. Obtaining precise and timely information on the fate of plastic particles and co-contaminants in wildlife has widespread applications towards effective monitoring programmes and environmental management strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The in vivo observation of diffusible components, such as ions and small phenolic compounds, remains a challenge in turgid plant organs. The analytical techniques used to localize such components in water-rich tissue with a large field of view are lacking. It remains an issue to limit compound diffusion during sample preparation and observation processes. RESULTS An experimental setup involving the infusion staining of plant tissue and the cryo-fixation and cryo-sectioning of tissue samples followed by fluorescence cryo-observation by laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) was developed. This setup was successfully applied to investigate the structure of the apple fruit cortex and table grape berry and was shown to be relevant for localizing calcium, potassium and flavonoid compounds. CONCLUSION The cryo-approach was well adapted and opens new opportunities for imaging other diffusible components in hydrated tissues.

Abstract
In this review, the author shows that ferritin has documented quantum dot material properties that have been reported in numerous independent studies, and can enable quantum mechanical electron transport over substantial distances. In addition, neuromelanin is a pi-conjugated polymer, and quantum dot/pi-conjugated polymer combinations have been reported in numerous independent studies to facilitate electron transport for solar photovoltaic and other applications. Both ferritin and neuromelanin are present in large quantities in the dopamine neurons of the substantia nigra pars compactaand the norepinephrine neurons of the locus coeruleus. The unique structure of subgroups of these neurons that have a large number of axon branches and synapses may have evolved to take advantage of this electron transport mechanism, if it is present, such as to coordinate conscious action, or for other purposes. Independent clinical and laboratory studies are also reviewed that corroborate this theory of coordinated action in these neuron groups. Research to validate the theory using charge transport measurements, materials characterization, existing fluorescent probe material and reaction time testing is proposed.

Abstract
The unusually high demand for metals in the brain along with insufficient understanding of how their dysregulation contributes to neurological diseases motivates the study of how inorganic chemistry influences neural circuitry. We now report that the transition metal copper is essential for regulating rest–activity cycles and arousal. Copper imaging and gene expression analysis in zebrafish identifies the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) system, a vertebrate-specific neuromodulatory circuit critical for regulating sleep, arousal, attention, memory and emotion, as a copper-enriched unit with high levels of copper transporters CTR1 and ATP7A and the copper enzyme dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) that produces NE. Copper deficiency induced by genetic disruption of ATP7A, which loads copper into DBH, lowers NE levels and hinders LC function as manifested by disruption in rest–activity modulation. Moreover, LC dysfunction caused by copper deficiency from ATP7A disruption can be rescued by restoring synaptic levels of NE, establishing a molecular CTR1-ATP7A-DBH-NE axis for copper-dependent LC function.

Abstract
A picture may speak a thousand words, but if those words fail to form a coherent sentence there is little to be learned. As cutting-edge imaging technology now provides us the tools to decipher the multitude of roles played by metals and metalloids in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology, as well as health and disease, it is time to reflect on the advances made in imaging, the limitations discovered, and the future of a burgeoning field. In this Perspective, the current state of the art is discussed from a self-imposed contrarian position, as we not only highlight the major advances made over the years but use them as teachable moments to zoom in on challenges that remain to be overcome. We also describe the steps being taken toward being able to paint a completely undisturbed picture of cellular metal metabolism, which is, metaphorically speaking, the Holy Grail of the discipline.

Abstract
Transition metals such as zinc, copper, and iron play key roles in cellular proliferation, cell differentiation, growth, and development. Over the past decade, advances in synchrotron X-ray fluorescence instrumentation presented new opportunities for the three-dimensional mapping of trace metal distributions within intact specimens. Taking advantage of microXRF tomography, we visualized the 3D distribution of zinc and iron in a zebrafish embryo at the onset of the hatching period. The reconstructed volumetric data revealed distinct differences in the elemental distributions, with zinc predominantly localized to the yolk and yolk extension, and iron to various regions of the brain as well as the myotome extending along the dorsal side of the embryo. The data set complements an earlier tomographic study of an embryo at the pharyngula stage (24 hpf), thus offering new insights into the trace metal distribution at key stages of embryonic development.

Abstract
There is much interest in understanding the mechanisms by which platinum-based anticancer agents enter cells, and the copper transporter CTR1 has been the focus of many recent studies. While there is a clinical correlation between CTR1 levels and platinum efficacy, cellular studies have provided conflicting evidence relating to the relationship between cisplatin and CTR1. We report here our studies of the relationship between cisplatin and copper homeostasis in human colon cancer cells. While the accumulation of copper and platinum do not appear to compete with each other, we did observe that cisplatin perturbs CTR1 distribution within 10 min, a far shorter incubation time than commonly employed in cellular studies of cisplatin. Furthermore, on these short time-scales, cisplatin caused an increase in the cytoplasmic labile copper pool. While the predominant focus of studies to date has been on CTR1, these studies highlight the importance of investigating the interaction of cisplatin with other copper proteins.

Abstract
Many zinc (Zn) complexes have been developed as promising oral antidiabetic agents. In vitro assays using adipocytes have demonstrated that the coordination structures of Zn complexes affect the uptake of Zn into cells and have insulinomimetic activities, for which moderate stability of Zn complexes is vital. The complexation of Zn plays a major role improving its bioavailability. However, investigation of the speciation changes of Zn complexes after oral administration is lacking. A dual radiolabeling approach was applied in order to investigate the speciation of bis(5-chloro-7-iodo-8-quinolinolato)zinc complex [Zn(Cq)2], which exhibits the antidiabetic activity in diabetic mice. In the present study, 65Zn- and 131I-labeled [Zn(Cq)2] were synthesized, and their biodistribution were analyzed after an oral administration using both invasive conventional assays and noninvasive gamma-ray emission imaging (GREI), a novel nuclear medicine imaging modality that enables analysis of multiple radionuclides simultaneously. The GREI experiments visualized the behavior of 65Zn and [131I]Cq from the stomach to large intestine and through the small intestine; most of the administered Zn was transported together with clioquinol (5-chloro-7-iodo-8-quinolinol) (Cq). Higher accumulation of 65Zn for [Zn(Cq)2] than ZnCl2 suggests that the Zn associated with Cq was highly absorbed by the intestinal tract. In particular, the molar ratio of administered iodine to Zn decreased during the distribution processes, indicating the dissociation of most [Zn(Cq)2] complexes. In conclusion, the present study successfully evaluated the speciation changes of orally administered [Zn(Cq)2] using the dual radiolabeling method.
