🧐Enteric glia are some of the most abundant cells in the gut, but whether they come in different types has been a long‑standing question.

🧠 A new Neuron study from the group of Meenakshi Rao at Harvard Medical School shows that glia in the mouse intestine aren’t all the same: they form distinct groups with different roles. The team identifies Tacr3 as a key marker for one major glial type and uncovers a signaling pathway (NKB–TACR3) that helps these cells develop and later influences how the gut moves.

✨They also reveal that these TACR3‑positive glia are an unexpected target of medications that block TACR3, offering clues about common GI side effects 🦠

🧠Brain and mental illnesses exist close to us.

🥼In our recent field report for the Well-Being feature, we visited The Centre for Psychiatric Neuroscience (CNP) at the Lausanne University Hospital (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois: CHUV) in Lausanne, Switzerland, where researchers are aiming to build bridges between the laboratory and clinical practice to understand neuropsychiatric disorders and develop effective treatments, for the good health and well-being of people worldwide.

🔬Nikon microscopes are playing a vital role in this research.

🔬What if you could map chromosome architecture at nanoscale resolution, directly inside intact mitotic cells?

📝In our latest application note, Andreas Brunner and Kai Sandvold Beckwith from Jan Ellenberg's Lab at EMBL Heidelberg showcase how the LoopTrace workflow, powered by the CSU‑W1 SoRa spinning disk system, enables high‑throughput 3D chromatin tracing across thousands of cells.

🧬This automated pipeline, supported by precise focus control, super‑resolution, and seamless integration with a custom microfluidics setup, reveals Condensin‑dependent DNA loops and provides new insights into how mitotic chromosome architecture is established.

🔍 Whether you're investigating 3D genome folding, nuclear architecture, or chromatin dynamics, this workflow helps you capture structures that usually stay hidden.

🤝 We are proud to share a unique micro sculpture of the JOICO microscope, which was created by artist David A Lindon in partnership with Nikon Europe B.V.

🔬 Celebrating the JOICO microscope’s centenary year, David created the world’s smallest sculpture of a microscope. It’s eighty times smaller than the original!

🌟 The artwork was hand-delivered to Amsterdam by David, where it will go on display in Nikon’s European Headquarters and travel to exhibitions to celebrate the JOICO microscope’s anniversary.

🔍 Gas‑exchange organs may look different across vertebrates, but many of their core building blocks are surprisingly conserved.

🐟🫁 A new preprint from Park and colleagues from the Weinstein Lab at the NICHD maps the adult zebrafish gill at single‑cell and ultrastructural resolution, revealing endothelial and epithelial cell types that closely mirror those found in mammalian lungs. Among them is a specialized capillary population resembling lung aerocytes: cells central to efficient gas exchange.

🔬By combining single‑cell RNA‑seq with high‑resolution imaging, the study highlights the zebrafish gill as a powerful and accessible system for probing vascular specialization, barrier structure, and respiratory biology. 🔬✨
