The efficacy of eyespots in deterring avian predators is more due to their conspicuousness rather than their resemblance to eyes.

Marcks and Marcks-like 1 proteins are required for normal neurite formation and proliferation of neuro-glial progenitors during development and regeneration of the Xenopus spinal cord implicating ...

Endometriosis is a debilitating disease affecting 190 million women worldwide and the greatest single contributor to infertility. The most broadly accepted etiology is that uterine endometrial cells ...

Among these sensors, we further focused on the spatiotemporal dynamics of Rab10 and Rab4 activity during sLTP. We found that postsynaptic stimulation leads to the persistent inactivation of Rab10 and ...

OSM-3, revealing that the kinase, NEKL-3, phosphorylates a serine/threonine patch at the hinge region of the motor to mediate autoinhibition until it reaches the ciliary middle segment. The findings ...

However, technical and study bias affect the experimental procedures for detecting PPIs. For instance, cancer-associated proteins have received disproportional attention. Moreover, bait proteins in ...

Toxoplasma gondii parasites can use secreted factors to compensate for genetic defects in neighbouring parasites, highlighting a limitation of pooled CRISPR screens.

Combining intermittent fasting with localised Wnt3a treatments can rejuvenate bone repair in older mice, offering hope for reversing age-related tissue decline.

To best serve the needs of researchers, eLife will provide a partial feed of research to be indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection. eLife will also move from the Scopus Journals Collection to ...

The evidence for the authors' claims is convincing, combining state-of-the-art conditional gene deletion in the mouse lens with histological and molecular approaches. This work should be of great ...

By exploring the conservation and functional diversity of RIPK3 and related RHIM-containing proteins across vertebrates, this important work sheds light on the evolutionary dynamics of these key ...

This useful study highlights the largely redundant role of the decapping activators Edc3 and Scd6 in orchestrating post-transcriptional programs to modulate metabolic responses to nutrients in yeast.
