    The starvation hormone, fibroblast growth factor-21, extends lifespan in mice

    Yuan Zhang, Yang Xie ... David J Mangelsdorf
    Transgenic mice with high levels of FGF21 live for longer than wild-type mice and do so without reducing food intake.

    Herbivory-induced volatiles function as defenses increasing fitness of the native plant Nicotiana attenuata in nature

    Meredith C Schuman, Kathleen Barthel, Ian T Baldwin
    A 2-year field study has demonstrated that volatile compounds produced by plants when they are attacked by herbivores act as defenses by attracting predators to the herbivores and increasing the reproduction of the plants.

    A bacterial sulfonolipid triggers multicellular development in the closest living relatives of animals

    Rosanna A Alegado, Laura W Brown ... Nicole King
    The development of colonies of cells in choanoflagellates, water-dwelling organisms that feed on bacteria, is triggered by the presence of very low concentrations of a lipid molecule produced by certain types of bacteria.

    Sequence specific detection of bacterial 23S ribosomal RNA by TLR13

    Xiao-Dong Li, Zhijian J Chen
    A pattern recognition receptor called toll-like receptor 13 detects pathogens in a manner that is different to that seen in other pathogen sensors.

    Molecular architecture of human polycomb repressive complex 2

    Claudio Ciferri, Gabriel C Lander ... Eva Nogales
    Electron microscopy has been used to produce the first three-dimensional image of the PRC2 gene-silencing complex.

    Foggy perception slows us down

    Paolo Pretto, Jean-Pierre Bresciani ... Heinrich H Bülthoff
    Virtual reality experiments show that motorists slow down when driving in fog, but they speed up when visibility is reduced equally at all distances.

    Membrane immersion allows rhomboid proteases to achieve specificity by reading transmembrane segment dynamics

    Syed M Moin, Sinisa Urban
    Intramembrane proteases identify target proteins in a different way from other proteases.
