    Scientists show how fast-growing bacteria can resist antibiotics

    New insights into how some bacteria survive antibiotics could lead to the development of novel treatment strategies.
  1. eLife and PREreview extend partnership to boost community engagement in open peer review

    As eLife moves towards a ‘publish, review, curate’ model that puts preprints first, the two initiatives will work together to promote diversity in open scholarly review.

    Type 2 diabetes accelerates brain aging and cognitive decline

    Analysis of UK Biobank data from 20,000 people shows that diabetes speeds up the normal process of brain aging, with longer duration of diabetes linked to increased neurodegeneration.

    How eating eggs can boost heart health

    A study shows that eating eggs can boost the number of heart-healthy metabolites in the blood, which may partially explain the protective effect of moderate egg consumption on cardiovascular disease.

    Concussion symptoms in children may have multiple underlying causes

    A study suggests there are multiple ways that brain damage caused by paediatric concussions can lead to different sets of symptoms, and this complexity can be missed by conventional study approaches.

    Marine sponge chemical and synthetic derivatives hijack human enzyme to kill cells

    New insights on how a human enzyme that converts chemicals produced by marine sponges and optimised synthetic derivatives into cell-killing compounds could aid the development of new anti-cancer or anti-infection drugs.
