Comprehensive Human Vagus Nerve Map Unveiled

Scientists create unprecedented atlas of the human epigenome; understand the Salk Institute discovery

Scientists at the Salk Institute, in collaboration with the Arc Institute and other researchers, have revealed a significant advance in understanding the human genome. They completed the first comprehensive single-cell-scale atlas for two important epigenetic systems: the three-dimensional organization of the genome and DNA methylation. Published in the journal Science on July 23, 2026, the […]

A 3D Genome Atlas of Human Tonsil and the Role of Loop Extrusion in B Cell Somatic Hypermutation

Investigators constructed a single-cell 3D genome atlas of human tonsil cells and characterized changes in multiscale 3D genome features during germinal center B cell development. [Science] Abstract

Comprehensive Human Vagus Nerve Map Unveiled

Scientists at Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research said they have released the world’s first comprehensive human vagus nerve anatomical map. The achievement could change our understanding of the autonomic nervous system and accelerate the development of bioelectronic medicine and neuromodulation therapies, according to the researchers. The first dataset release, collected over three years from 30 human donors encompassing…

3D Mapping of Tonsil Genetic Structures Unlocks Antibody Optimization

About 2 meters worth of genetic material must fit into the nucleus of each and every one of most of our trillions of cells, coiling and winding to form what looks like a tangled mess.
