Open access publisher BioMed Central, UK, has announced a new thematic series for Chemistry Central Journal covering the Chemistry of Ageing. The first article in the series has already been published.
Gerontology has traditionally been dominated by biological research groups. In recent years, the potential impact of chemical analysis and small molecule interventions has become widely recognised. A growing number of chemists are seen to be undertaking ageing research. Advanced analytical and physical techniques are being used to observe age-related changes in living organisms.
This thematic series, edited by Elizabeth Ostler from the University of Brighton, will cover Glycation, oxidative stress and other degenerative processes; Cellular senescence, mechanistic dissection and interventions; Telomerase inhibitors and activators; small molecules with life-extending activity such as resveratrol and rapamycin; and novel methods for mining complex cohort and life-course data.
