Scientists have traced back plant defence mechanisms to a single receptor that evolved over millions of years to recognise today’s diseases and pests.

A web-based computer platform is helping scientists use massive datasets to track the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses.

The grant will support the non-profits' efforts to create an open and inclusive ecosystem for the review and curation of preprints.

A study in rabbits shows that co-infection with one or more gut parasites increases shedding of Bordetella bacterium and could increase onward transmission.

New findings could help identify those at risk of developing unhealthy behaviours in young adulthood and suggest interventions to prevent poor health outcomes later in life.

Researchers used gene interaction networks to group bowel cancers into six distinct clinical and molecular subtypes which could be used in personalised medicine.

A new technique combines holographic microscopy with deep learning to follow individual microscopic organisms in the ocean.

Researchers evaluating the CoronaVac SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in patients find that spacing vaccine doses two- or four- weeks apart results in similar immunity.

A study suggests the immune system in the vagina becomes more active after young women start having intercourse, which may increase or decrease sexually transmitted infection risk.

eLife will emphasise the public peer review of preprints, restoring author autonomy and promoting the assessment of scientists based on what, not where, they publish.
