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.
Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of the murine testicular interstitium across the lifespan reveals Cd34+/Sox4+ mesenchymal cells as Leydig progenitors, whose aging-associated decline in glutathione and Sox4-regulated regenerative capacity inform potential therapeutic strategies for age-related testicular dysfunction.
Genetic and electrophysiological studies uncover a mechanism linking a TTN missense variant to atrial fibrillation by coupling titin with potassium channel remodeling, revealing FHL2 as a modulator and therapeutic target.
Low-level features of peripheral saccade targets are fed back to early foveal retinotopic cortex in a signal that resembles activation elicited by direct foveal presentation.
Identification of a nitric oxide-regulated transitional state of Müller glia reveals a key mechanism enabling neuronal regeneration in the injured vertebrate retina.
Clinically relevant Ω-loop mutations in PDC-3 reshape active-site dynamics to enhance β-lactamase activity, providing mechanistic insights that can guide the rational design of inhibitors.

Human cells decode dynamics Wnt signals using an anti-resonant filter that suppresses intermediate-frequency inputs and is capable of redirecting developmental fate outcomes, including germ-layer specification.
Single-cell transcriptomics identifies three discrete mouse trabecular meshwork subtypes and demonstrates that an Lmx1b glaucoma mutation drives mitochondrial dysfunction and elevated intraocular pressure, which is lessened by vitamin B3 supplementation.
CD47Hi synovial mesenchymal stem cells are identified as a functionally distinct sub-population that regenerates articular cartilage and reduces osteoarthritis severity in a preclinical joint injury model.
GMCL1-dependent degradation of 53BP1 suppresses mitotic surveillance, tuning p53 activation thresholds that govern cell fate decisions and cellular responses after mitosis.
