Abstract
Mass spectrometry has been increasingly explored in intraoperative studies as a potential technology to help guide surgical decision making. Yet, intraoperative experiments using high-performance mass spectrometry instrumentation present a unique set of operational challenges. For example, standard operating rooms are often not equipped with the electrical requirements to power a commercial mass spectrometer and are not designed to accommodate their permanent installation. These obstacles can impact progress and patient enrollment in intraoperative clinical studies because implementation of MS instrumentation becomes limited to specific operating rooms that have the required electrical connections and space. To expand our intraoperative clinical studies using the MasSpec Pen technology, we explored the feasibility of transporting and acquiring data on Orbitrap mass spectrometers operating on battery power in hospital buildings. We evaluated the effect of instrument movement including acceleration and rotational speeds on signal stability and mass accuracy by acquiring data using direct infusion electrospray ionization. Data were acquired while rolling the systems in/out of operating rooms and while descending/ascending a freight elevator. Despite these movements and operating the instrument on battery power, the relative standard deviation of the total ion current was <5% and the magnitude of the mass error relative to the internal calibrant never exceeded 5.06 ppm. We further evaluated the feasibility of performing intraoperative MasSpec Pen analysis while operating the Orbitrap mass spectrometer on battery power during an ovarian cancer surgery. We observed that the rich and tissue-specific molecular profile commonly detected from ovarian tissues was conserved when running on battery power. Together, these results demonstrate that Orbitrap mass spectrometers can be operated and acquire data on battery power while in motion and in rotation without losses in signal stability or mass accuracy. Furthermore, Orbitrap mass spectrometers can be used in conjunction to the MasSpec Pen while on battery power for intraoperative tissue analysis.

Abstract
Importance Surgery with complete tumor resection remains the main treatment option for patients with breast cancer. Yet, current technologies are limited in providing accurate assessment of breast tissue in vivo, warranting development of new technologies for surgical guidance. Objective To evaluate the performance of the MasSpec Pen for accurate intraoperative assessment of breast tissues and surgical margins based on metabolic and lipid information. Design, Setting, and Participants In this diagnostic study conducted between February 23, 2017, and August 19, 2021, the mass spectrometry-based device was used to analyze healthy breast and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) banked tissue samples from adult patients undergoing breast surgery for ductal carcinomas or nonmalignant conditions. Fresh-frozen tissue samples and touch imprints were analyzed in a laboratory. Intraoperative in vivo and ex vivo breast tissue analyses were performed by surgical staff in operating rooms (ORs) within 2 different hospitals at the Texas Medical Center. Molecular data were used to build statistical classifiers. Main Outcomes and Measures Prediction results of tissue analyses from classification models were compared with gross assessment, frozen section analysis, and/or final postoperative pathology to assess accuracy. Results All data acquired from the 143 banked tissue samples, including 79 healthy breast and 64 IDC tissues, were included in the statistical analysis. Data presented rich molecular profiles of healthy and IDC banked tissue samples, with significant changes in relative abundances observed for several metabolic species. Statistical classifiers yielded accuracies of 95.6%, 95.5%, and 90.6% for training, validation, and independent test sets, respectively. A total of 25 participants enrolled in the clinical, intraoperative study; all were female, and the median age was 58 years (IQR, 44-66 years). Intraoperative testing of the technology was successfully performed by surgical staff during 25 breast operations. Of 273 intraoperative analyses performed during 25 surgical cases, 147 analyses from 22 cases were subjected to statistical classification. Testing of the classifiers on 147 intraoperative mass spectra yielded 95.9% agreement with postoperative pathology results. Conclusions and Relevance The findings of this diagnostic study suggest that the mass spectrometry-based system could be clinically valuable to surgeons and patients by enabling fast molecular-based intraoperative assessment of in vivo and ex vivo breast tissue samples and surgical margins.

Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most heterogeneous groups of cancer. As every biotype of BC is unique and presents a particular "omic" signature, they are increasingly characterized nowadays with novel mass spectrometry (MS) strategies. BC therapeutic approaches are primarily based on the two features of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and estrogen receptor (ER) positivity. Various strategic MS implementations are reported in studies of BC also involving data independent acquisitions (DIAs) of MS which report novel differential proteomic, lipidomic, proteogenomic, phosphoproteomic, and metabolomic characterizations associated with the disease and its therapeutics. Recently many "omic" studies have aimed to identify distinct subsidiary biotypes for diagnosis, prognosis, and targets of treatment. Along with these, drug-induced-resistance phenotypes are characterized by "omic" changes. These identifying aspects of the disease may influence treatment outcomes in the near future. Drug quantifications and characterizations are also done regularly and have implications in therapeutic monitoring and in drug efficacy assessments. We report these studies, mentioning their implications toward the understanding of BC. We briefly provide the MS instrumentation principles that are adopted in such studies as an overview with a brief outlook on DIA-MS strategies. In all of these, we have chosen a model cancer for its revelations through MS-based "omics".

Abstract
Metabolomics is a nascent field of inquiry that emerged in the late 20th century. It encompasses the comprehensive profiling of metabolites across a spectrum of organisms, ranging from bacteria and cells to tissues. The rapid evolution of analytical methods and data analysis has greatly accelerated progress in this dynamic discipline over recent decades. Sophisticated techniques such as liquid chromatograph mass spectrometry (MS), gas chromatograph MS, capillary electrophoresis MS, and nuclear magnetic resonance serve as the cornerstone of metabolomic analysis. Building upon these methods, a plethora of modifications and combinations have emerged to propel the advancement of metabolomics. Despite this progress, scrutinizing metabolism at the single-cell or single-organelle level remains an arduous task over the decades. Some of the most thrilling advancements, such as single-cell and single-organelle metabolic profiling techniques, offer profound insights into the intricate mechanisms within cells and organelles. This allows for a comprehensive study of metabolic heterogeneity and its pivotal role in multiple biological processes. The progress made in MS imaging has enabled high-resolution in situ metabolic profiling of tissue sections and even individual cells. Spatial reconstruction techniques enable the direct representation of metabolic distribution and alteration in three-dimensional space. The application of novel metabolomic techniques has led to significant breakthroughs in biological and clinical studies, including the discovery of novel metabolic pathways, determination of cell fate in differentiation, anti-aging intervention through modulating metabolism, metabolomics-based clinicopathologic analysis, and surgical decision-making based on on-site intraoperative metabolic analysis. This review presents a comprehensive overview of both conventional and innovative metabolomic techniques, highlighting their applications in groundbreaking biological and clinical studies.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is an emerging technology in cancer metabolomics. Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) MSI are complementary techniques to identify hundreds of metabolites in space with close to single-cell resolution. This technology leap enables research focusing on tumor heterogeneity, cancer cell plasticity, and the communication signals between cancer and stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Currently, unprecedented knowledge is generated using spatial metabolomics in fundamental cancer research. Yet, also translational applications are emerging, including the assessment of spatial drug distribution in organs and tumors. Moreover, clinical research investigates the use of spatial metabolomics as a rapid pathology tool during cancer surgeries. Here, we summarize MSI applications, the knowledge gained by this technology in space, future directions, and developments needed.

Abstract
The blood-brain barrier is critically important for the treatment of both primary and metastatic cancers of the central nervous system (CNS). Clinical outcomes for patients with primary CNS tumors are poor and have not significantly improved in decades. As treatments for patients with extracranial solid tumors improve, the incidence of CNS metastases is on the rise due to suboptimal CNS exposure of otherwise systemically active agents. Despite state-of-the art surgical care and increasingly precise radiation therapy, clinical progress is limited by the ability to deliver an effective dose of a therapeutic agent to all cancerous cells. Given the tremendous heterogeneity of CNS cancers, both across cancer subtypes and within a single tumor, and the range of diverse therapies under investigation, a nuanced examination of CNS drug exposure is needed. With a shared goal, common vocabulary, and interdisciplinary collaboration, the field is poised for renewed progress in the treatment of CNS cancers.

Abstract
With outstanding analytical performances, mass spectrometry (MS) has shown great potential for clinical applications. To facilitate the sampling process and quantitative analysis, a capillary-in-capillary electrospray ionization (CC-ESI) source was developed in this study. Utilizing two nested capillaries as a sampler and an ESI emitter, the source enabled spontaneous liquid sampling based on the capillary phenomenon and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) analysis. Apart from the cheap price, high portability, and disposability, the CC-ESI had merits of quantitation capability as well as adequate sensitivity. By coupling CC-ESI to a miniature mass spectrometer (mini-MS), a limit of detection (LOD) of 1 ng/mL was achieved for standard imatinib at collision-induced dissociation (CID) tandem MS mode, and a LOQ of 1 ng/mL was obtained for atenolol and imatinib (with isotopic internal standard) at multiple ion reaction monitoring (MRM) modes. As two demonstrations for analysis of practical samples, rapid analysis of abused drugs on surface and quantitative analysis of therapeutic drugs in whole blood were also performed with a CC-ESI mini-MS.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) has been widely used to discover natural products (NPs) from underexplored microbiological sources. However, the technique is limited by incompatibility with complicated/uneven surface topography and labor-intensive sample preparation, as well as lengthy compound profiling procedures. Here, liquid micro-junction surface sampling probe (LMJ-SSP)-based MSI is used for rapid profiling of natural products from Gram-negative marine bacteria Pseudoalteromonas on nutrient agar media without any sample preparation. A conductance-based autosampling platform with 1 mm spatial resolution and an innovative multivariant analysis-driven method was used to create one hyperspectral image for the sampling area. NP discovery requires general spatial correlation between m/z and colony location but not highly precise spatial resolution. The hyperspectral image was used to annotate different m/z by straightforward color differences without the need to directly interrogate the spectra. To demonstrate the utility of our approach, the rapid analysis of Pseudoalteromonas rubra DSM6842, Pseudoalteromonas tunicata DSM14096, Pseudoalteromonas piscicida JCM20779, and Pseudoalteromonas elyakovii ATCC700519 cultures was directly performed on Agar. Various natural products, including prodiginine and tambjamine analogues, were quickly identified from the hyperspectral image, and the dynamic extracellular environment was shown with compound heatmaps. Hyperspectral visualization-based MSI is an efficient and sensitive strategy for direct and rapid natural product profiling from different Pseudoalteromonas strains.

Abstract
Endocrine tumors derive from endocrine cells with high heterogeneity in function, structure and embryology, and are characteristic of a marked diversity and tissue heterogeneity. There are still challenges in analyzing the molecular alternations within the heterogeneous microenvironment for endocrine tumors. Recently, several proteomic, lipidomic and metabolomic platforms have been applied to the analysis of endocrine tumors to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tumor genesis, progression and metastasis. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of spatially resolved proteomics, lipidomics and metabolomics guided by mass spectrometry imaging and spatially resolved microproteomics directed by microextraction and tandem mass spectrometry. In this regard, we will discuss different mass spectrometry imaging techniques, including secondary ion mass spectrometry, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization and desorption electrospray ionization. Additionally, we will highlight microextraction approaches such as laser capture microdissection and liquid microjunction extraction. With these methods, proteins can be extracted precisely from specific regions of the endocrine tumor. Finally, we compare applications of proteomic, lipidomic and metabolomic platforms in the field of endocrine tumors and outline their potentials in elucidating cellular and molecular processes involved in endocrine tumors.
