An evolutionary perspective on immune priming across plants and invertebrates highlights the roles of microbiomes and epigenetic regulation in shaping innate immune memory with promising applications ...

Songbird HVC sequences arise from a balance of ionic currents and structured inhibition, providing a mechanistic framework for understanding cortical sequence generation.

This useful study demonstrates that microsaccade direction primarily indexes shifts rather than the maintenance of covert spatial attention, offering a focused interpretation that may help reconcile ...

This study presents a large, systematically curated catalog of non-canonical open reading frames (ncORFs) in human and mouse by reanalyzing nearly 400 Ribo-seq datasets using a standardized pipeline; ...

The Major Histocompatibility Complex region evolves via gene birth-and-death, resulting in short-lived genes, rapidly expanding gene subfamilies, and many gene fragments.

We highlight recent developments in eLife’s equity, diversity and inclusion framework and what steps we plan to take next ...

A new method for tracking the activity of individual neurons day after day in the growing brain has revealed a key developmental transition in neuronal activity.

This manuscript makes a valuable contribution to the concept of fragility of meta-analyses via the so-called 'ellipse of insignificance for meta-analyses' (EOIMETA). The strength of evidence is solid, ...

This report provides useful evidence that EABR mRNA is at least as effective as standard S mRNA vaccines for the SARS-CoV-2 booster vaccine. Although the methodology and the experimental approaches ...

The enteric bacterial Shigella secretes a virulence factor that degrades the pivotal human defense protein RNF213, thereby protecting cytosolic bacteria from interferon-driven ubiquitylation and ...

This fundamental study presents experimental evidence on how geomagnetic and visual cues are integrated in a nocturnally migrating insect. The evidence supporting the conclusions is compelling. The ...
