Plants, Pollinators and Pheromones: Promises and Lies of Semiochemicals
ABSTRACT Pollination is traditionally regarded as a quintessential mutualism, yet many plants employ deceptive strategies to achieve reproductive success. Among the most intriguing is sexual deception, wherein flowers mimic the sex pheromones and visual signals of female insects to attract male pollinators—without providing any reward.

Advances in Ligand‐Driven Pd‐Catalyzed C─H Functionalizations: Recent Insights and Updates
The most significant advances in ligand‐driven Pd‐catalyzed organic synthesis over the past two years are presented. Processes involving C─H activation of substrates, avoiding their prefunctionalization are illustrated. Both the activity and selectivity of the catalyst depend on the design of the ligands (pyridones, pyridines, amino acids, phosphines ...

Abstract Autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) result from immune self‐tolerance loss, causing tissue damage. Standard treatments targeting late‐stage inflammation often have serious side effects. Artemisinin, known for its antimalarial properties, shows potential immunomodulatory effects.
