This study provides robust evidence and causal inferences regarding this relationship, identifying intermediate biomarkers of the diseases. These findings suggest that preventing atherosclerosis and ...

This important study provides evidence for asymptomatic Bordetella pertussis carriage among mothers in a longitudinal cohort in Zambia, significantly advancing understanding of transmission dynamics.

Presynaptic NMDA receptors can shape timing-dependent long-term depression in a way that departs from their classic postsynaptic role.

Viral-mediated Oct4 overexpression induces direct conversion of wildtype mammalian Müller glia to bipolar neurons, and this process is synergistically enhanced by loss of Notch signaling.

Life has been announced as a winner in the first Crossref Metadata Awards, recognising its commitment to high-quality ...

This important study provides insights into the role of maternal behavior in the learning and ontogeny of vocalization. It finds evidence that the maternal behavior of sac-winged bats (Saccopteryx ...

Resurrection of ancient forms of CD4 reveals how retroviruses have placed selective pressure on this gene in apes, acting to propagate infection-resistant alleles.

This valuable study focuses on defining how the HSP70 chaperone system utilizes J-domain proteins to regulate the heat shock response-associated transcription factor HSF1. Using a combination of ...

The authors confirm that telomeres in telomerase-positive cells terminate with 5'-ATC in a Pot1-dependent manner, and demonstrate that this principle holds true in telomerase-negative ALT cells as ...

This study exploring the role of TRPV1 signaling in recruiting macrophages and promoting angiogenesis during tympanic membrane wound healing presents useful findings. However, the strength of evidence ...

We’ve just announced that more than 100 funders and institutions combined continue to consider eLife papers when evaluating research contributions – regardless of our Impact Factor loss last year.

Experiments in fruit fly larvae show that epidermal cells can communicate with sensory neurons to drive responses to pain.
