eLife’s New Model: One year on

Explore key milestones, achievements and findings from the first year of eLife’s new model.

Structural analysis of the dynamic ribosome-translocon complex

A combination of cryo-electron microscopy, structure prediction, and evolutionary analyses reveal several functional states of the dynamic protein translocation machinery at the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum.

Vigilant pigeons

Motion capture technology sheds light on how flocks of pigeons detect and respond to predator attacks while foraging for food.

Does bumblebee preference of continuous over interrupted strings in string-pulling tasks indicate means-end comprehension?

Behavioral studies reveal that bumblebees distinguish between continuous and interrupted strings by using a combination of image matching and associative learning.

A concerted increase in readthrough and intron retention drives transposon expression during aging and senescence

A majority of transcribed transposons during aging are derived from transcriptional defects, most notably intron retention and transcriptional readthrough.

Dynamics of macrophage polarization support Salmonella persistence in a whole living organism

Real-time visualization of Salmonella enterica and polarized macrophage interaction in the living host identifies an anti-inflammatory, pro-regenerative, and motionless macrophage subset as a survival niche during persistent infection.
