A small molecule screen identifies novel inhibitors of mechanosensory nematocyst discharge in Hydra
Cnidarians are characterized by the possession of stinging organelles, called nematocysts, which they use for prey capture and defense. Nematocyst discharge is controlled by a mechanosensory apparatus with analogies to vertebrate hair cells.

Chemical Evolution Tomorrow [PDF]
The solar system is just one sample, though of course the most thoroughly studied sample, of cosmic chemistry. Some perspective on it can be gained from an overview of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy and Universe, how our knowledge of this evolution has developed, and what problems remain to be solved.

The Chemical Evolution of the Galaxy [PDF]
Over the last few years, our picture of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy has changed substantially. These changes are of interest because chemical evolution provides a common point of contact for most astrophysical processes of importance to galaxy evolution.

First results from the IllustrisTNG simulations: a tale of two elements - chemical evolution of magnesium and europium [PDF]
The distribution of elements in galaxies provides a wealth of information about their production sites and their subsequent mixing into the interstellar medium. Here we investigate the distribution of elements within stars in the IllustrisTNG simulations.

CHEMICAL EVOLUTION IN VeLLOs [PDF]
A new type of object called "Very Low Luminosity Objects (VeLLOs)" has been discovered by the Spitzer Space Telescope. VeLLOs might be substellar objects forming by accretion. However, some VeLLOs are associated with strong outflows, indicating the previous existence of massive accretion.

Prions are protein-based infectious entities associated with fatal brain diseases in animals, but also modify a range of host-cell phenotypes in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Many questions remain about the evolution and biology of prions.

How did life begin on Earth? And is there life elsewhere in the Cosmos? Challenging questions, indeed. The series of conferences established by NoR CEL in 2013 addresses these very questions.

Evolution of the Mass–Metallicity Relation from Redshift z ≈ 8 to the Local Universe
A tight positive correlation between the stellar mass and the gas-phase metallicity of galaxies has been observed at low redshifts. The redshift evolution of this correlation can strongly constrain theories of galaxy evolution.
