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.
Upregulated expression of transcription factors promoting cone identity in late-stage retinal progenitors drives development of the cone-dominant retina of 13-lined ground squirrels.
Small-molecule mitochondrial transcription factor A modulators stabilize mtDNA, preventing cytosolic escape and suppressing cGAS-STING interferon signaling, while improving bioenergetics and fibrosis markers in disease models.
Mir195 enables Ebf1-deficient hematopoietic progenitor cells to mature into B cells, suggesting some miRNA can substitute for transcription factors in differentiation.
The IL-17–Ly6G⁺ granulocyte axis is a key driver and correlate of tuberculosis pathology and represents a potential target for improving vaccine-induced protection and therapeutic outcomes.
Even in a simple epithelial tissue that is exposed uniformly to X-ray irradiation, cells show marked differences in their transcriptional response based on their location and cell-cycle status.

In Drosophila larva, the Uninflatable protein helps to switch from FGF-receptor triggered glial growth to Notch triggered wrapping of peripheral axons.
A flexible but automatic stimulus-response mapping mechanism complements forward model recalibration in walking adaptation, immediately accounting for perceived changes in the environment through perception altered by the same recalibration process.

CHD4 directly limits transcription factor binding to chromatin, which prevents activation of silent or cryptic enhancers but facilitates activity of active enhancers.
