A Research Advance is a short article that allows either the authors of an eLife paper or other researchers to publish new results that build on the original research paper in an important way.

Cryo-electron tomography reveals plant photosynthetic membranes with single-complex precision, supporting a simple two-domain model of membrane organization.

Structural reconstruction of thousands of ancient nitrogenases through Earth’s history uncovers architectural constraints that shaped their evolution under global environmental transitions.

The inner nuclear membrane protein emerin readily traffics through the secretory pathway via its hydrophobic transmembrane domain when tagged with C-terminal GFP.
Motile Enterobacteriaceae override chemorepulsion from the microbiota metabolite indole in favor of nutrient attraction, challenging the idea that indole taxis protects the host against intestinal infection.
Humans can appropriately use relationships among pieces of sensory evidence (pairwise correlations) to inform decisions, rather than relying only on the physical features of individual evidence samples.
Foveal sensitivity to the features of an imminent saccade target increases with the target’s conspicuity, supporting foveal prediction as a viable mechanism for maintaining visual continuity in high-contrast, naturalistic environments.
Humans estimate different forms of uncertainty during learning, but do so imprecisely, leading to the misattribution of random fluctuations as fundamental shifts.

An analytical approach increases spatiotemporal resolution, optimizes real-time, in vivo detection of Met- and Leu-enkephalin, and provides novel insight into the relationship between Met- and Leu-enkephalin following stress.
A comparison of how two nematode species sense salts highlights how evolution can find different ways to establish asymmetry in small nervous systems to optimize the processing of chemosensory cues.
