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.

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

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

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 ...

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

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.

This paper addresses a valuable research question on the heritability of the brain's response to movie watching, given various parameters such as regional spatial hyperalignment and BOLD frequency ...

Conversations with research organisations offer reassurance to researchers and highlight growing momentum behind fairer, more transparent models of scientific publishing and assessment.

Several human pathogens exploit the kinetic forces generated by polymerizing actin to power their intracellular motility. Human cell-autonomous immune responses activate ...

This fundamental study explores a novel cellular mechanism underlying the degeneration of locus coeruleus neurons during chronic restraint stress. The evidence supporting the overexpression of LC ...

This valuable study reports the conservation of sperm-egg envelope binding by demonstrating successful recognition of the micropyle in fish eggs by the mouse sperm. However, the evidence supporting ...
