When you think of fish, what comes to mind? Maybe you think of pet goldfish, movie characters like Dory or Nemo, or trout in a local river. One of the things that all these fish have in common is patterns in their skin. Nemo sports black and white stripes in his orange skin, and trout have spots. Even goldfish have a pattern—but it is just plain go...
The eLife Early-Career Advisory Group discusses eLife's new peer review and publishing model, and how the whole process of scientific communication could be improved for the benefit of early-career researchers and the entire scientific community. / status: published

Copper (Cu) is a vital microelement required for the optimum growth performance and wellbeing of aquatic animals. It contributed to various biological, physiological, and metabolic function in the entire body of the aquatic animals. Further, Cu is a cofactor for several enzymes involved in the antioxidation capacity and metalloenzyme formation. Som...

The concept of biofilms and biofilm-based research is largely absent or minimally described in school and undergraduate life science curriculum. While it is well-established that microbes, such as bacteria and fungi, most often exist in multicellular biofilm communities, descriptions in standard biology textbooks continue to focus on the single-cel...

The Poropuntius tawarensis fish is an endemic fish of the family Cyprinidae found in Laut Tawar Lake, and has been listed on the Red List. This study aims to reveal the frequency of length distribution, growth patterns and condition factors of the fish in the lake as basic information for conservation. The study was conducted from January to May 20...
Funder: Wellcome-MRC, Institute of Metabolic Science, Metabolic Research Laboratories, Imaging Core / Insulin-induced GLUT4 translocation to the plasma membrane in muscle and adipocytes is crucial for whole-body glucose homeostasis. Currently, GLUT4 trafficking assays rely on overexpression of tagged GLUT4. Here we describe a high-content imaging p...
BACKGROUND: Without the availability of disease-modifying drugs, there is an unmet therapeutic need for osteoarthritic patients. During osteoarthritis, the homeostasis of articular chondrocytes is dysregulated and a phenotypical transition called hypertrophy occurs, leading to cartilage degeneration. Targeting this phenotypic transition has emerged...

Since December 2019, coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has rapidly developed into a global epidemic, with millions of patients affected worldwide. As part of the diagnostic pathway, computed tomography (CT) scans are used to help patient management. However, parenchymal imaging findings in COVID-19 are non-specific and can be seen in other diseases...
