Scratch that itch… or not? ?? Scratching an itch is usually a pleasurable sensation, suggesting some sort of biological benefit. To explore the cellular changes that occur when we scratch and how it relates to inflammation, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh conducted a series of itchy experiments using genetically modified mice. The study found that while scratching caused increased inflammation, it also stimulated a stronger immune response that helped the mice fight off a bacterial infection (Staphylococcus aureus). This suggests that scratching can be both harmful and helpful, pointing towards an evolutionary explanation for this behavior!

Every sample holds a world of possibility. From the rare to the routine, each one has a journey—collected with care, stored with precision, and analyzed for discovery. “Every Sample Matters” is our new series that follows this journey, revealing the science, challenges, and innovations that shape every step. Because in the lab, even the smallest samples can lead to the biggest breakthroughs. We’re kicking things off with “Dead Volume”—the sample that never makes it to the experiment. How much are you losing? What does it mean for your workflow? And can anything be done about it? Let’s find out. Watch now: https://hubs.ly/Q03c6bZL0 #EverySampleMatters #DeadVolume #SampleManagement
