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.
Deletion of specific herpes simplex virus proteins prevents the progression of virus assembly at discrete stages, allowing detailed 3D imaging of rare events in the morphogenesis of virus particles.

Directed evolution was used to engineer a green fluorescent biosensor for quantitative calcium imaging that remains fluorescent, yet shows a large change in lifetime in cells.
Up-to-date computational pipeline characterizes G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) repertoires in the closest relatives of metazoans, providing a framework to investigate the evolutionary origins and ancestral functions of key metazoan signaling pathways.
Testosterone promotes the conversion of glucose to fatty acids by increasing the expression of ACLY in seminal vesicle epithelial cells, thereby regulating the seminal plasma components.
Genes steadily associated with prognosis define conserved mitotic and immune programs that robustly predict cancer patient survival and therapeutic resistance across tumor types.
A vessel on a chip microfluidic device recapitulates the main features of meningococcal vascular colonization, providing high time and space microscopy resolution of the infection process in 3D.
Ripples maintain time-locked occurrence across the septo-temporal axis and hemispheres while showing local phase coupling, revealing a dual mode of synchrony in CA1 network dynamics.
Extracellular adenosine deamination by ADGF generates ammonia that directs tip organizer development, revealing a conserved metabolic mechanism linking nucleotide turnover to developmental regulation.
