Nearly half of sequencing data labeled as endometriosis lacks true disease representation, highlighting the urgent need for more diverse and accurate tissue sampling to advance research in this ...

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

The reported cryo-EM imaging of a pentameric ligand-gated ion channel in liposomes as opposed to nanodiscs has both broad implications and contributes valuable methodological advances to the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.
