title: Mass spectrometry in aging research.
abstract: This review covers the application of mass spectrometric techniques to aging research. Modern proteomic strategies will be discussed as well as the targeted analysis of specific proteins for the correlation of post-translational modifications with protein function. Selected examples will show both the power and also current limitations of the respective techniques. Experimental results and strategies are discussed in view of current theories of the aging process.
