Research Articles published by eLife are full-length studies that present important breakthroughs across the life sciences and biomedicine. There is no maximum length and no limits on the number of display items.
Two lateral striatal subregions integrate the acquisition of stimulus-based decision-making in spatiotemporally and functionally different manners, challenging the prior model through a dominance change from the associative to sensorimotor subregions.

The fine-tuning of mutual inhibition and disinhibition of sleep-regulating neurons and also the memory consolidation that occurs during NREM sleep are controlled by oscillations in serotonin levels.
NR2F2 regulates fetal Leydig cell differentiation and steroidogenesis in mouse testes, providing mechanistic insight into testis development and the etiology of 46,XY differences in sex development.
In methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, evolution of bacteriophage resistance causes trade-offs that re-sensitize the bacteriato β-lactam antibiotics.
Exponential nucleic acid replication can occur isothermally in a prebiotically plausible setting that accumulates and simultaneously separates the strands of nucleic acids through evaporation-driven flows at the gas–water interface.
A single β-lactam exposure rapidly drives stable multidrug resistance in RecA-deficient bacteria through an SOS-independent mechanism involving oxidative stress-induced mutagenesis and antibiotic-driven selection.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor/tropomyosin receptor kinase B signaling in promoting the differentiation and dentin-repair capacity of dental stem cells under inflammatory conditions offers a potential clinical strategy for repairing damaged teeth.

Leucokinin neurons integrate sweet and bitter taste inputs with starvation signals to regulate feeding initiation, balancing nutrient intake against the risk of toxin ingestion.
