Featured in the first story was Nikon’s A1 R confocal system at Nikon Centre of Excellence at VIB-KU Leuven 🔬

Launched in 2008, Nikon’s A1 R HD25 confocal system has been empowering researchers with its reliability, robustness and reparability. Succeeded by Nikon’s 10th-generation point scanner confocal microscope AX R, it continues to play a critical role in various research fields.

🦠 Herpesviruses form capsids inside the nucleus and must carry them out to become infectious particles. The nuclear egress complex acts as a gateway, facilitating capsids to exit and initiating the next steps of infection.

New work from Jens Bernhard Bosse's group at the Hannover Medical School at CSSB Hamburg, in close collaboration with the LIV Nikon Centre of Excellence ( ), shows that the MHV-68 nuclear egress complex preferentially enables the exit genome-containing capsids. The doorway isn’t random; it prefers the right type of capsid to leave, helping the virus mature more smoothly.

This finding adds to our understanding of herpesviruses and points to possible antiviral strategies that block this doorway, potentially stopping the virus from maturing and infecting.

🧠 Traumatic stress often predicts higher aggression, but we still don’t fully understand why stress changes how we act.

Researchers from Jacob Nordman's lab at the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine found a specific brain shortcut: a pathway from the part of the brain that makes decisions (the orbitofrontal cortex) to the part that processes emotions (the amygdala).

The study suggests that increased activity in this pathway after trauma may promote more aggressive, less adaptive responses. This brain circuit links thinking areas with emotion areas, and its overactivity after stress may tilt behavior toward aggression.

❤️‍🩹 This finding helps explain some post-trauma behavioral changes and suggests possible targets for treatments to reduce trauma-related aggression and improve emotional regulation.
