Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical technique used to identify unknown compounds, to quantify known compounds, and to elucidate the structure and chemical properties of molecules. Nevertheless, the transfer of data from one instrument to another is one of the main problems, and obtaining the same or similar information from an analogous instrument but from a different manufacturer or even with the same instrument after carrying out the analyses in different times spacing is not possible. Hence, a general methodology to provide a chromatographic signal (or chromatogram) independent of the instrument is needed. In this sense, this book chapter describes the standardization procedure of chromatographic signals obtained from mass spectrometry platforms to obtain instrument-agnostic chromatographic signals for the determination of standard retention scores. This parameter may be used for the quantification of compounds when different mass spectrometry platforms coupled to ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography are employed.

The outer mitochondrial membrane protein known as mitoNEET was discovered when it was labeled by a photoaffinity derivative of the anti-diabetes medication, pioglitazone. The biological role for mitoNEET and its specific mechanism for achieving this remains an active subject for research. There is accumulating evidence suggesting that mitoNEET could be a component of mitochondrial FeS cofactor biogenesis.

Williams Syndrome (WS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder with a prevalence of 1 in 7500 to 1 in 20,000 individuals, caused by a microdeletion in chromosome 7q11.23. Despite its distinctive clinical features, the underlying metabolic alterations remain largely unexplored.

In previous work we discovered that T lymphocytes play a prominent role in the rise of brain metastases of ER-negative breast cancers. In the present study we explored how T lymphocytes promote breast cancer cell penetration through the blood brain barrier (BBB). An in vitro BBB model was employed to study the effects of T lymphocytes on BBB trespassing capacity of three different breast carcinoma cell lines.

The sense of smell is fundamental for various aspects of human existence including the flavor perception, environmental awareness, and emotional impact. However, unlike other senses, it has not been digitized. Its digitalization faces challenges such as the lack of reliable odor sensing technology or the precise scent delivery through olfactory displays.

Cannabis use disorder affects up to 42% of individuals with schizophrenia, correlating with earlier onset, increased positive symptoms, and more frequent hospitalizations. This study employed an untargeted lipidomics approach to identify biomarkers in plasma samples from subjects with schizophrenia, cannabis use disorder, or both (dual diagnosis), aiming to elucidate the metabolic underpinnings of cannabis abuse and schizophrenia development. The use of liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry enabled the annotation of 119 metabolites, with the highest identification confidence level achieved for 16 compounds.
