UrduBacteria face multiple stressors in the human body, including fluid flow. A new University of Illinois study found that combining the stress of fluid flow with the chemical stress of the hydrogen peroxide naturally present in the body synergizes to block bacterial migration and growth of the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Pear-derived discovery: a genetic mechanism to fortify crops against drought
A pivotal study has shed light on a critical genetic mechanism that boosts plants’ ability to withstand drought. The research uncovers the role of the transcription factor PbERF3, native to wild pears, which works in concert with the protein PbHsfC1a to regulate genes key to drought tolerance.
Innovative Portable Sensors for Hydrogen Peroxide Detection Unveiled
Hydrogen peroxide is crucial in cell metabolism, playing key roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. However, elevated levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are linked to several diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
Green method could enable hospitals to produce hydrogen peroxide in house
A team of researchers has developed a portable, more environmentally friendly method to produce hydrogen peroxide. It could enable hospitals to make their own supply of the disinfectant on demand and at lower cost.
