  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec><jats:label /><jats:p>Over the last 10 years, considerable technical advances in mass spectrometry (MS)‐based bioanalysis have enabled the investigation of lipid signatures in neuropathological structures. In Alzheimer´s Disease (AD) research, it is now well accepted that lipid dysregulation plays a key role in AD pathogenesis and progression. This review summarizes current MS‐based strategies, notably MALDI and ToF‐SIMS imaging as well as laser capture microdissection combined with LC‐ESI‐MS. It also presents recent advances to assess lipid alterations associated with Amyloid‐β plaques, one of the hallmarks of AD. Collectively, these methodologies offer new opportunities for the study of lipids, thus pushing forward our understanding of their role in such a complex and still untreatable disease as AD.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:label /><jats:p> <jats:boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor"><jats:graphic xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" mimetype="image/png" position="anchor" specific-use="enlarged-web-image" xlink:href="graphic/jnc15216-fig-0003-m.png"><jats:alt-text>image</jats:alt-text></jats:graphic></jats:boxed-text> </jats:p></jats:sec>
