β¦ Synopsis
This is the fourth issue of Mass Spectrometry Reviews that highlights more recent Canadian contributions to the development and application of mass spectrometry, within the larger context of advances originating with our international colleagues. The first of these issues (MSR 28(4), July-August 2009) describes work on fundamental studies of the physico-chemical properties of gaseous ions, and the second (MSR 28(6), November-December 2009) focuses on instrumental developments. The third issue covers applications to environmental and general biological problems and, at the time of this writing the articles are available in the ''Early View'' feature on the MSR website. The present issue presents reviews of applications related to medical science.

Canadian mass spectrometrists have made significant contributions to the development of new instrumentation since the earliest days of the discipline. Arthur Dempster designed and constructed a direction-focusing magnetic sector instrument in 1918 (Physical Review 11, 316), and this early tradition
I have been working with mass spectrometers for more than 30 years, and I am still not bored! Considering that I like changes, I consider this fact to be good subjective proof of the dynamic power of mass spectrometry. This personal view is well-confirmed by the history of mass spectrometry during
## 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 postβtranslational modifications with protein function. Selected examples wil
