Investigating how the production of insulin is regulated in fruit flies reveals surprising insights that may help to better understand how this process unfolds in humans.

Animals must learn through experience which foods are nutritious and should be consumed, and which are toxic and should be avoided. Enteroendocrine cells (EECs) are the principal chemosensors in the ...

Growing cells coordinate protein translation with metabolic rates. Central to this coordination is ribosome production. Ribosomes drive cell growth, but translation of ribosomal proteins competes with ...

HIV-1 Vif induces a unique and prolonged pseudo-metaphase arrest by disrupting phosphatase feedback regulation at the kinetochore.

Yes, identifying your audience workshop is very important. A type A audience is already engaged – they understand the urgency ...

Peptides designed by artificial intelligence restrict both drug-resistant bacteria and rapidly evolving viruses.

Learn more about eLife assessments Sleep disturbances are associated with poor long-term memory (LTM) formation, yet the underlying cell types and neural circuits involved have not been fully decoded.

Cephalopods are set apart from other mollusks by their advanced behavioral abilities and the complexity of their nervous systems. Because of the great evolutionary distance that separates vertebrates ...

In this detailed study, Cohen and Ben-Shaul characterized Accessory Olfactory Bulb (AOB) cell responses to various conspecific urine samples in female mice across the estrous cycle. The authors found ...

Hormonal signalling in animals often involves direct transcription factor-hormone interactions that modulate gene expression. In contrast, plant hormone signalling is most commonly based on ...

The human brain contains billions of cells called neurons that rapidly carry information from one part of the brain to another. Progress in medical research and healthcare is hindered by the ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we mapped thousands of expression quantitative trait loci in yeast, including a variant in GPA1 that influences gene expression, cell-cycle occupancy, and mating ...
