Modulation of longevity by environmental sensing.
Organisms from bacteria to humans have the capacity to gauge the quality of their respective environments. Recent advances in understanding how various types of environmental conditions are sensed and interpreted by cells and by organisms have established a critical role for these systems in the modulation of physiology, health, and aging.
