Chemistry Central Journal 2012, 6:34Consequences of cutaneous photoageing
UV radiation exacerbates the intrinsic ageing of human skin, accelerating the onset of age-related changes, such as wrinkle formation. This review discusses experimental evidence for UV-mediated differential degradation of normally long lived dermal proteins

Chemistry Central Journal 2012, 6:32Antioxidant properties of coumarin derivatives
A series of coumarin derivatives with promising antioxidant properties was synthesised using a microwave-assisted method, with several of the compounds displaying significant radical scavenging activity

Chemistry Central Journal 2012, 6:31Age effect on mucosal serotonin transmission
Alterations in motility and absorption in the upper bowel occur as part of the normal ageing process. Serotonin is known to influence motility, and this articleprovides new insight into alterations in the neurotransmission of serotonin during ageing

Chemistry Central Journal 2012, 6:24Effects of isopropanol on parchment artefacts
Isopropanol, a chemical widely used by conservators to relax creases in parchment artefacts, has been found to induce permanent changes to the packing features of collagen, suggesting that it could contribute to long-term deterioration of the parchment

Chemistry Central Journal 2012, 6:21Carbonyl compounds in a changing climate
The likely effect of rising temperature due to climate change on the levels of carbonyl compounds in heritage environments such as museums is discussed, which is important for the preservation of heritage collections for future generations

Chemistry Central Journal 2012, 6:20Filming a live cell by SECM
A non-invasive, label-free and high resolution method has been developed to film live cells in real time using scanning electrochemical microscopy. The method was demonstrated by showing the dynamic morphology of a live human bladder cancer cell

Chemistry Central Journal 2012, 6:11Determining cinacalcet content in tablets
A novel spectrophotometric quality control method has been reported for the determination of pharmaceutical doses of cinacalcet hydrochloride, a selective calcimimetic agent used to treat hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia

Chemistry Central Journal 2012, 6:4Antioxidant properties of low-sugar bilberry jam
Processing of bilberries to make low-sugar bilberry jam was found to lead to a decrease in the content of beneficial antioxidant compounds compared to the raw fruit
