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.
Planthopper salivary carbonic anhydrase enhances a plant β-1,3-glucanase to suppress callose deposition, facilitating early viral establishment of rice stripe virus.
Neuronal responses in cortical area MT to two speeds show a robust bias toward the faster speed when stimulus speeds are slow, which could benefit figure-ground segregation in natural scenes.
Live cell imaging and biochemical analyses reveal that CCDC32 interacts with AP2 to stabilize and drive invagination of clathrin-coated pits, and that clinical mutations disrupting this interaction cause cardio-facio-neuro-developmental syndrome.
Acoustic ecology introduces an additional dimension in plant-insect communication, revealing that female moths use ultrasonic emissions from dehydrated plants to guide oviposition decisions.
During foraging under predatory threat, overlapping prefrontal neuron populations flexibly switch between encoding navigational space and predicting avoidance decisions.
Feedback signals to the early visual cortex convey both high-order and low-order visual information, but with different laminar profiles, and the high-order information is important for object recognition.

Disrupting a single molybdenum cofactor gene allowed us to connect metabolic regulation of complex carbohydrates with cell organization, enabling genetic tuning of bacterial structural color for biomaterial applications.
