    Testing the Münch hypothesis of long distance phloem transport in plants

    Michael Knoblauch, Jan Knoblauch ... N Michele Holbrook
    Measurements of physiological and geometrical parameters of the sieve tube system in Ipomoea nil provide strong support for pressure driven mass flow.

    A test of the pioneer factor hypothesis using ectopic liver gene activation

    Jeffrey L Hansen, Kaiser J Loell, Barak A Cohen
    Pioneering activity may be a property of all transcription factors with sufficient affinity for their targets rather than a property of specific classes of transcription factors.

    Perception as a closed-loop convergence process

    Ehud Ahissar, Eldad Assa
    Perception is proposed to be a dynamic motor-sensory closed-loop process in which information flows through the environment and the brain in continuous loops, converging towards steady-state percepts.

    Experimental evidence that uniformly white sclera enhances the visibility of eye-gaze direction in humans and chimpanzees

    Fumihiro Kano, Yuri Kawaguchi, Yeow Hanling
    Experiments showed that uniformly white sclera, one distinguishing feature of human eyes, facilitates gaze perception across species, suggesting that this eye feature evolved for conspecific communication in humans.

    Test of the 'glymphatic' hypothesis demonstrates diffusive and aquaporin-4-independent solute transport in rodent brain parenchyma

    Alex J Smith, Xiaoming Yao ... Alan S Verkman
    Solute movement in brain extracellular space is determined by solute diffusion, and does not depend on convection or aquaporin-4 expression as predicted by the glymphatic mechanism.

    An evidence based hypothesis on the existence of two pathways of mitochondrial crista formation

    Max E Harner, Ann-Katrin Unger ... Walter Neupert
    Lamellar and tubular cristae in mitochondria form by two different molecular pathways that form both involve F1FO-ATP synthase dimers and the MICOS complex, but formation of lamellar cristae also relies on Mgm1/Opa1.

    Enabling scientific discussion on eLife with Hypothesis

    We collaborated with Hypothesis to integrate the open annotation tool on eLife.

    Meta-Research: Incidences of problematic cell lines are lower in papers that use RRIDs to identify cell lines

    Zeljana Babic, Amanda Capes-Davis ... Anita E Bandrowski
    The use of Research Resource Identifiers (RRIDs) improves the proper use of cell lines in the biomedical literature.
    1. Neuroscience

    A saturation hypothesis to explain both enhanced and impaired learning with enhanced plasticity

    TD Barbara Nguyen-Vu, Grace Q Zhao ... Jennifer L Raymond
    Learning capacity depends on a dynamic interplay between the brain’s ability to change the strength of its synapses and the history of activity at those synapses.

    Energetics of the microsporidian polar tube invasion machinery

    Ray Chang, Ari Davydov ... Manu Prakash
    Unraveling the ultrafast polar tube ejection in microsporidia reveals extreme cellular hydraulics, providing a data-driven model for infectious cargo transport, with implications for physical approaches to understanding microsporidia transmission.
