This is a personal perspective on our contributions to FT-ICR, many of early ones in a collaboration with Charles Wilkins and Michael Gross starting in the mid-1970s and then continuing for many years in collaboration of Don Rempel and Michael Gross. The perspective is to honor Alan Marshall, who with Melvin Comisarow, first demonstrated FT-ICR MS in 1974 (Comisarow & Marshall, 1974). Our intention is to review the contributions made together with Wilkins, Rempel, and a group of graduate and postdoctoral students, starting at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and continuing here at Washington University in St. Louis. Besides offering a chance to reminisce about the early and exciting days of FT-ICR MS when academic laboratories were building and modifying mass spectrometers and other instruments, a nearly lost art, I am reminded of my editorship of this journal occurring over part of that time.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents a major malignancy globally, characterized by high malignancy and intricate molecular mechanisms. This study aims to explore the role of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) lnc-EST885 in HCC development.
Methods: Cell experiments including FISH, western blot, flow cytometry and functional analysis were used to elucidate the effects of lnc-EST885 on cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration and EMT processes.

Eutrophication has emerged as a significant environmental problem for global lakes. As an essential carrier of nutrients, particulate organic matter (POM) plays a vital role in the eutrophication process of these aquatic systems. In this study, POM from seven lakes with different trophic states in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River (China) was characterized using carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes and Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS).

Estuaries significantly affect the transport of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from land to ocean. While the transport and composition of estuarine DOM have been extensively studied, the direct link between DOM chemistry and its age remains unclear, limiting a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics and fate of estuarine DOM under severe conditions (e.g.

The copper complexing of dissolved organic matter released from hydrochar (HDOM) affects the former's environmental behavior. In this study, how hydrothermal temperatures (180, 220 and 260 °C) influence the molecular-level constitutions and Cu(II) binding features of HDOM were elucidated via fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry and multi-spectroscopic analysis. The findings demonstrated that the almost HDOM molecules had the traits of lower polarity and higher hydrophobicity.

Composting, a sustainable practice, facilitates the biodegradation of organic waste, notably lignocellulosic biomass, into value-added humic substances. Despite its potential, the application of electrospray ionization Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (ESI FT-ICR MS) to characterize dissolved organic matter (DOM) for assessing the changes in maturity during cow manure-straw composting is underexplored. Furthermore, the link between these changes, microbial community succession, and the biochemical pathways of humus formation is seldom investigated.
