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.
A new CRISPR-based approach for tuning gene expression up and down allowed identification of how other genes' expression responds to changes of transcription factors.
A context-driven memory model simulates a wide range of characteristics of waking and sleeping hippocampal replay, providing a new account of how and why replay occurs.

Cryo-EM structures of human aquaporin AQP2 bound to the anti-trypanosomal drugs pentamidine and melarsoprol identify the molecular mechanism for drug-resistant sleeping sickness.
Exosome-associated THSD7A is identified as a key trigger of filopodia formation in cancer cells and neurons, revealing a novel pathway with implications for metastasis, neuronal connectivity, and other filopodia-dependent processes.
Bioinformatics, RNA-protein interactions, and HuR-based functional studies demonstrated that the rs13900T allele modulates CCL2 transcript levels, providing a functional link between the CCL2 rs1024611G-rs13900T haplotype and disease susceptibility/progression.
Multiomics and biochemical studies reveal that excess ATP levels, and not ROS, is the dominant driver for antibiotic cidality in Mycobacterium smegmatis.
