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.
The N-terminal domain of Staphylococcus aureus GpsB, a scaffolding protein, forms an atypical asymmetric dimer and binds to the C-termini of FtsZ and PBP4, influencing the localization and regulation of both the Z-ring and cell wall synthesis.
Diversified genetic and transcriptional changes in parallel evolved Escherichia coli populations for improved growth revealed that the evolution complementing genome reduction was like all roads leading to Rome.
Genome-wide PARP-1 binding analysis advances the understanding of molecular mechanisms governing gene regulation in response to developmental cues and environmental stressors.
Local abnormal fungi in Caesarean section scar diverticulum can affect the abundance of bacteria through specific metabolites, thereby destroying the stability of bacteria and the entire microbial community.

TMEM127 depletion alters membrane dynamics, promoting cell surface accumulation and constitutive activity of growth factor receptors, and ultimately providing a novel paradigm for oncogenesis through aberrant receptor localization and signaling.

Enantiornithine birds reached similar dietary diversity to modern birds in a similar amount of time many millions of years earlier, but how exactly they did that requires further research.
Because nociceptors can achieve similar excitability using different sodium channel subtypes, it is difficult to know which channels are being used yet this information is critical for predicting if subtype-selective drugs will reduce pain.
Longitudinal calcium imaging in awake mice after stroke suggests impairments in neuronal activity, functional connectivity, and neural assembly architecture is transient and limited to cortex immediately adjacent to the stroke.
A genetic variant within a newly identified enhancer regulates the expression of a key pharmacogene and alters the balance between resistance and sensitivity to a widely used chemotherapeutic.
