A study that monitored the expression and function of designer receptors called DREADDs in macaque monkeys for a period of three years demonstrates that they are effective in long-term studies of nonhuman primates. https://lnkd.in/eDF-p8TP

Open-access journal that works to improve research communication through open science and open technology innovation.
About us
eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that encourages and recognises the most responsible behaviours in science. eLife publishes important research in all areas of the life and biomedical sciences. The research is selected and evaluated by working scientists and is made freely available to all readers without delay. eLife also invests in innovation through open-source tool development to accelerate research communication and discovery. Our work is guided by the communities we serve. eLife was founded in 2011 by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Max Planck Society and the Wellcome Trust. These organisations continue to provide financial and strategic support, and were joined by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation for 2018.

Surprisingly, mouse sperm can locate and swim through the tiny opening in #zebrafish eggs known as the micropyle, suggesting that some mechanisms guiding sperm toward eggs may be shared across distant species. https://lnkd.in/eckGD6g6

Seeing too soon can disrupt how the brain learns to see. Ferrets whose eyes opened early developed abnormal visual brain circuits. This could help explain why premature human infants often have difficulty with motion perception. https://lnkd.in/eej649yw

Kin selection has sparked debate for decades. Now, a landmark study offers a generalised version of Hamilton’s rule, capturing the messy, nonlinear reality of evolution and cooperation. https://lnkd.in/eS4U5SYM

I’m proud to see an important piece of my postdoctoral research now published! ☺️ Huge thanks to my co-authors Nina Tervelde, Thomas Engels, and Florian Muijres for an amazing collaboration. In this study, we investigated how tiny hoverflies manage to stay aloft with such small wings. Combining morphometrics, high-speed 3D videography, and computer simulations, we found that small hoverflies don’t solve the physics of flight by flapping differently, they solve it by being built differently. As eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd. notes, this work “illustrates the power and beauty of an integrative approach to animal biomechanics” and will be of broad interest to biologists, physicists, and engineers.
