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.
Fireflies that gather in swarms synchronize their flashing with rhythmic periodicity and provide insights into a new mechanism for the emergence of synchrony and periodicity.
A key finding is that MCAK binds to the proximal region of GTP cap where GDP‧Pi-tubulins accumulate, in addition to curved protofilaments at the distalmost tip.
The path of potassium through an ATP-dependent membrane pump is elucidated with a high-resolution structure within a lipid bilayer together with mutational analysis at key points along this pathway.

A temporal and positional atlas of mouse primordial germ cell (PGC) migration reveals dynamic gene expression and somatic cell interactions that suggest how changing migratory niches regulate PGC development.
Genomic evidence from 15th-century Bolivian maize reveals similarity to Central Andean maize from Peru, and pre-Inca and Inca-era breeding that enhanced maize development through selection within Andean agricultural networks.
Chromosome-driven DnaA activity oscillations, modulated by DNA-binding proteins, enable bacteria to coordinate DNA replication with biomass growth independently of transcriptional regulation.
