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.
In methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, evolution of bacteriophage resistance causes trade-offs that re-sensitize the bacteriato β-lactam antibiotics.
NR2F2 regulates fetal Leydig cell differentiation and steroidogenesis in mouse testes, providing mechanistic insight into testis development and the etiology of 46,XY differences in sex development.
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor/tropomyosin receptor kinase B signaling in promoting the differentiation and dentin-repair capacity of dental stem cells under inflammatory conditions offers a potential clinical strategy for repairing damaged teeth.
Exponential nucleic acid replication can occur isothermally in a prebiotically plausible setting that accumulates and simultaneously separates the strands of nucleic acids through evaporation-driven flows at the gas–water interface.
A single β-lactam exposure rapidly drives stable multidrug resistance in RecA-deficient bacteria through an SOS-independent mechanism involving oxidative stress-induced mutagenesis and antibiotic-driven selection.
