The contribution of peripheral nerves to the pleasure from scratching an itch: Evidence from a neuronopathy participant

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Acute itch was experimentally induced using histamine and cowage in control participants (with no neuronopathy) and in IW, a participant with a large‐fibre sensory neuronopathy resulting in the loss of Aβ afferent function below C3, at the same time as largely preserving Aδ and C‐fibre function.

Affective CT‐touch attenuates cortical responses and subjective attention during temporal summation of second pain

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The study investigated the modulatory effects of affective touch on temporal summation of second pain (TSSP) in 32 romantic couples (N = 64). The design included a dyadic session (partner's CT‐optimal stroking vs. static touch) and an individual session (robotic CT‐touch vs. vibration control).

The influence of force on the encoding and perception of affective touch

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend By combining perceptual experiments with neuronal recordings, we obtained ratings of perceived pleasantness and intensity during stroking touch applied at different velocities and forces and we recorded the single‐unit activity from seven C‐low‐threshold mechanoreceptors (C‐LTMRs) during similar tactile stimulation. We found that

Unravelling the Intraspecific Variation in Drought Responses in Seedlings of European Black Pine (Pinus Nigra J.F. Arnold)

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 12, Page 9694-9710, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding intraspecific variation in drought tolerance is essential for predicting the adaptive capacity of forest species under climate change. Yet, the molecular basis of this variation remains poorly understood in ecologically and economically important conifers.

Dry eye disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A hospital-based cross-sectional study of prevalence, clinical characteristics, and treatment outcomes from South India [PDF]

Al Ameen Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: Dry eye disease (DED) is a common ocular complication of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), arising from immune-mediated damage to the lacrimal functional unit, yet remains under diagnosed in routine rheumatological practice. Objectives: To determine

The New Economics of Cape Slavery

South African Journal of Economics, Volume 94, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT In this survey, I argue that the Cape Colony has become one of the most useful settings for studying the economics of unfree labour. The Cape offers a distinctive combination: a slavery regime linking the Indian Ocean and Atlantic worlds, an urban and agrarian economy, overlapping labour regimes and archives rich enough for linked micro‐data ...

Cracking the Code: Which Ocular Symptoms Predict Dry Eye Signs? Insights From a Large International Sicca Registry

Arthritis Care &Research, Volume 78, Issue 11, Page 1679-1690, November 2026.
Objective The study aimed to identify symptom‐based predictors of dry eye disease (DED) signs in the Sjögren's International Collaborative Clinical Alliance (SICCA) cohort. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis examining 16 ocular symptoms (most graded 0–4) and artificial tear (AT) use (graded 0–3) as predictors of DED signs (abnormal ocular ...

Adolescents and the Development of Social Touch Preferences: The HandsOn Mobile App Reveals Gender Differences in Peer Interactions

Journal of Community &Applied Social Psychology, Volume 36, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Interpersonal social touch is a powerful form of communication whose meaning depends on the relationship between partners. This becomes especially salient in adolescence, where gender plays a central role in shaping the physical, neuropsychological and social factors underlying touch preferences.

Comprehensive Ophthalmic Evaluation of Clinically Normal Rhesus Monkeys (Macaca mulatta): Selected Ophthalmic Diagnostic Tests, Tear‐Film Biochemistry and Serum Correlations, Conjunctival Microbiota and Ophthalmic Artery Haemodynamics

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 6, November 2026.
Comprehensive ophthalmic evaluation of clinically healthy rhesus monkeys identified baseline values for selected ophthalmic diagnostic tests, including STT‐1, TBUT, IOP, PFL, blink rate and ophthalmic artery haemodynamics assessed by CDI. Tear‐film biochemical analyses, serum correlations and conjunctival microbiota characterization further expanded ...
