In the presence of emulated cone loss, eye movements are used to gather and integrate information, leading to improved letter acuity compared to a non-moving condition.

Recording the spiking activity of muscle fibers at high resolution in awake, behaving mice, reveals that locomotor speed is driven by highly variable subsets of motor units.

The steroid hormone dafachronic acid may carry the effects of reduced mTOR activity between tissues to coordinate metabolism and longevity across the body.

Cryo-electron tomography uncovers the flexible, filamentous architecture of mouse ciliary rootlets and their regular cross-striations with extensive membrane connections.

2025 marked the third year of eLife’s publish-review-curate model as a way to show how research publishing and assessment can be done differently. Highlights from the year included announcing our new ...

What do the British Psychology Society, the journal Functional Ecology and an astronomy website called Astrobites have in common? The answer is that they all attempt to explain the findings of ...

How proteins control the biogenesis of cellular lipid droplets (LDs) is poorly understood. Using Drosophila and human cells, we show here that seipin, an ER protein implicated in LD biology, mediates ...

Bacterial exonuclease III exhibits underestimated enzymatic activities on single-stranded DNA, which may redefine its roles in relevant biological processes and biosensor development.

This important study uses the brain endocast of a ~1.9-million-year-old hominin fossil from Kenya, attributed to genus Homo, to show that the organization of the Broca's area in members of early Homo ...
