Childhood obesity remains a pressing global health challenge, yet the impact of dynamic adiposity changes during active developmental window retains poorly understood. Leveraging longitudinal data ...

Brain organoids, also known as brain spheroids, are three-dimensional cultures of neural cells derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) that mimic the brain’s organization, development, and activity ...

Detailed, single-cell spatial gene expression across multiple gastruloids highlights macro-scale organizational consistency, simultaneous with variance in meso-scale patterning.

We are pleased to announce the introduction of the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) for author contributions at eLife. The average number of authors per paper in scientific and medical publishing ...

The autobiographical memory deficits seen in aphantasia are reflected by altered activation and connectivity patterns of the hippocampus and occipital cortex, corroborating the strong link between ...

Both oxytocin (OT) and touch are key mediators of social attachment. In rodents, tactile stimulation elicits the endogenous release of OT, potentially facilitating attachment and other forms of ...

Crystal structures of γ-protocadherin cell-cell recognition dimers reveal the determinants of clustered protocadherin homophilic specificity and cis interaction region structures alongside mutagenesis ...

Many everyday life decisions require allocating finite resources, such as attention or time, to examine multiple available options, like choosing a food supplier online. In cases like these, resources ...

FMNL2 associates with Formin2 and Arp2/3 complex for actin assembly, which further regulates spindle migration and INF2/Cofilin-related organelle dynamics during mammalian oocyte maturation.

In isolation from their peers, Photinus carolinus fireflies flash with no intrinsic period between successive bursts. Yet, when congregating into large mating swarms, these fireflies transition into ...

This important study combines convincing live cell imaging and mathematical modeling data to show how an emerging model fungus engages in an oscillatory chemical dialogue to prepare for cell-cell ...

This work provides new insights in to how fibrosis is triggered. Particularly intriguing is the suggestion that intervening at the level FIH or HIF may be better at treating idiopathic pulmonary ...
