New findings suggest sideways walking in crabs is a rare but innovative trait originating from a common ancestor, and provide a framework for understanding how animal locomotion diversifies and ...

Methodology that is not complete, as well as discrepancies regarding the proposed mode of action of lipoxin A4, are significant weaknesses.

New findings suggest a way to disarm resistant bacteria, making existing antibiotics effective and improving treatment options for people with hard-to-treat infections.

Computational simulations indicate that classical psychedelics could induce hallucinations by co-opting neural circuitry dedicated to sleep-dependent replay and consolidation, providing a theoretical ...

A robust and quantitative map links chromatin modification and gene expression of cells during zebrafish embryogenesis.

The formation of protein amyloid fibrils in the brain is a hallmark of various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer diseases and Parkinson diseases. Amyloid f ...

In this valuable study, the authors develop new approaches to investigate mRNA imprinting, a phenomenon in which RNA-protein complexes form in the nucleus to influence the fate of transcripts in the ...

Interactions between pairs of humans lead to the emergence of a dyadic vigor with similar characteristics as individual vigor, where both partners adapt, with the slower having a critical role.

(spidroins) through long-read transcriptomics across a broad phylogenetic range, with theoretical implications for protein family evolution, biomaterials, and silk biology. By identifying putative ...

Graph theory and computational modeling reveal that neural network architecture biases the male Caenorhabditis elegans brain toward prioritized sexual behaviors.

A new biologically-informed training paradigm enables protein language models to predict affinity maturation trajectories for antibodies.

Preprints that have been invited for review by eLife are published as Reviewed Preprints and include an eLife assessment, public reviews and a response from the authors (if available).
