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.
The brain computes rapidly and reliably using brief electrical impulses and likely exploits internal memory in nerve cells to achieve this more efficiently than existing computing hardware and neural networks.

Pathogens can use surface proteins to limit immune responses, and the finding that merozoite surface protein 2 has this property could help in Plasmodium falciparum malaria vaccine development.

TNF-driven metabolic reprogramming enhances glucose utilization in monocytes through inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), promoting parasite control and host resistance during Plasmodium infection.

Type I and type II inhibitors differentially affect LRRK2 filament formation around microtubules, revealing an important consideration for Parkinson’s disease drug development.
Flexible evidence accumulation in dynamic environments relies on multiple mechanisms, including context-dependent modulations of sensory adaptation and pupil-linked arousal.
Endosomes operate several exit routes that sort protein cargo and depend on pathway-specific associations of a PROPPIN with the responsible protein coat, such as the here identified CROP2, to support the departure of the cargo carriers.

A unified structural model of IRE1 activation reconciles conflicting sensing theories by characterizing specific peptide-binding sites and the mechanism by which BiP regulates oligomerization during the unfolded protein response.
Invasive Lantana camara exhibits strong genetic structure, unlike many invasive species, likely driven by predominant self-fertilization across its invasive range rather than the presence of multiple species.

Through low levels of extracellular ATP, EPEC induces small, rapid and coordinated Ca2+ responses in epithelial cells, a yet unreported pattern, that down-regulate inflammation at the onset of infection.
