ReviewFebruary 8, 2025
Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) constitute a group of rare inherited metabolic disorders resulting from mutations in genes involved in the biosynthesis of glycan chains that are covalently attached to proteins or lipids. To date, nearly 200 genes have been identified as responsible for these disorders, with approximately half implicated in N-glycosylation defects.

Atmospheric Pressure Mass Spectrometry Imaging Using Electrospray-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization with Gas Transportation through a Heated Tube and Minimal Sample Preparation
Riku Hirotani, Yuto Miyoshi, Varun Sendilraj, Hisanao Hazama
Mass spectrometry (MS) is a valuable tool that enables label-free analysis and the ability to measure multiple molecules. The atmospheric pressure MS imaging (MSI) method usually requires tedious sample preparation.

Comprehensive Membrane N-Glycoproteomics Using Human Breast Cancer Cell Line Pairs
Daisuke Takakura, Haruka Yoshida, Shoko Ohashi, Nana Kawasaki
Aberrant glycosylation of membrane proteins is a hallmark of cancer and a useful molecular marker for the diagnosis of breast cancer (BC). However, the molecular mechanisms by which altered glycosylation affects the malignant transformations associated with BC are poorly understood. Accordingly, we performed comparative

Identification of Negative Ion at m/z 20 Produced by Atmospheric Pressure Corona Discharge Ionization under Ambient Air
Shiho Fujishima, Kanako Sekimoto, Mitsuo Takayama
The negative ion at m/z 20 observed at atmospheric pressure corona discharge ionization mass spectra has been identified by supplying the vapors of deuterium oxide (D2O) and H218O.

A Short-Term Time-Series Data Analysis Algorithm for Flavor Release during the Start of Eating
Takehito Sagawa, Motoshi Sakakura
“Retronasal aroma” refers to the aroma released from food during consumption and traveling through the nose after leaving the mouth. It is closely related to the behavior of odor compounds released from food into the mouth and plays a crucial role in our overall perception of flavor. As a result, research focusing on measuring the behavior of retronasal aroma has gained attention for exploring the relationship between sensory perception and flavor.
