Le Monde: Scratching aggravates inflammation but boosts antibacterial immunity
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have studied the mechanics of itching and scratching, particularly in relation to skin allergies like contact dermatitis. They found that scratching exacerbates inflammation by activating mast cells through two pathways, leading to increased release of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and recruitment of inflammatory cells.
Interestingly, the study also highlights a potential benefit of scratching: it may enhance the immune response against Staphylococcus aureus, a common bacterium on the skin of eczema patients. This suggests that scratching, while often leading to more irritation, may have evolved as a defense mechanism against bacterial infections.

Fox News: Scientists link gene to emergence of spoken language
A new study suggests a specific gene variant, NOVA1, unique to humans, may have played a crucial role in the development of spoken language. Researchers used CRISPR to alter mice, leading to changes in their vocalizations, indicating a genetic link to communication.
Dr. Robert Darnell, who led the study, believes this research could enhance understanding of speech evolution and potentially aid in treating speech-related disorders. The findings may also help identify individuals needing early interventions for speech and language issues.
