Here, we use a synthetic amphiphile to modulate the membrane mechanical properties of cell-derived vesicles and probe channel activation. Using precise membrane mechanical characterization approaches ...

Why do authors choose the eLife Model? We spoke to Hironori Funabiki at the Rockefeller University to learn his reasons.

Global biodiversity is declining at an unprecedented rate, with agriculture as a major driver. There is mounting evidence that intercropping can increase insect biodiversity while maintaining or ...

Morphological profiling allows accurate identification of cell types in dense iPSC-derived cultures, allowing its use for quality control and differentiation monitoring.

As Editor-in-Chief, Behrens is responsible for the editorial direction and vision of the journal, providing leadership to ...

This is a useful study that seeks to address the role of the TET family of DNA demethylation enzymes in pancreatic beta cell senescence in the context of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Although the concepts ...

Frizzled (FZD) proteins are the principal receptors of the Wnt signaling pathway. However, whether Wnt ligands induce FZD endocytosis and degradation remains elusive. The transmembrane E3 ubiquitin ...

The authors examine the role of Numb, a Notch inhibitor, in intestinal stem cell self-renewal in Drosophila during homeostasis and regeneration. This is an important study providing evidence of a Numb ...

Understanding bacterial growth mechanisms can potentially help uncover novel drug targets that are crucial for maintaining cellular viability, particularly for bacterial pathogens. In this important ...

Unveiling the circuit organization and functional roles of endopiriform neurons projecting to the ventral CA1.

Mackie and colleagues present a valuable comparison of lateralized gustation in two well-studied nematodes. The evidence they present that ASEL/R lateralization exists and is achieved by different ...

In vivo perturbations and single-cell RNA-seq reveal cell-type-specific STAT1-IFNg signaling in regulation of trained immunity in tissue-resident immune cells.
