Wide-gauge posture in the limb skeleton of Titanosauriformes is an exaptation to gigantism, as it is not correlated with body size in deeply branching titanosaurs.

The study presents valuable theoretical insights by attempting to classify pattern-forming gene subnetworks and exploring their potential mechanisms. However, the results are incomplete, as they rely ...

Time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer reveals conformational energetics of a bacterial cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel.

Genetic studies reveal that polyunsaturated lipids do more than simply increase the fluidity of the cell membrane.

Several studies have now demonstrated that trained immunity occurs in the airways to several pathogens and products, while its utility is yet to be determined.

This study reports important negative results by showing that genetic removal of the RNA-binding protein PTBP1 in astrocytes is not sufficient to induce their conversion into neurons, challenging ...

eLife reviews research in which approaches from the physical sciences are used to provide insights into the properties of biological systems and processes. Learn more about what we review and sign up ...

This important study provides evidence for dynamic coupling between translation initiation and elongation that can help maintain low ribosome density and translational homeostasis. The authors combine ...

Changes in internal state for stochastic behaviors can be more easily explained by a stochastic model with no state change.

This study examines a valuable question regarding the developmental trajectory of neural mechanisms supporting facial expression processing. Leveraging a rare intracranial EEG (iEEG) dataset including ...

A region of the brain called the paraventricular thalamus mediates the impact of stress on unlearned fear responses, but is not involved in learned fear behavior.
