Uncovering the Impact of Bacterial Biofilms on Human Lung Cells
A team of researchers from the University of Michigan has discovered a new way that bacterial biofilms may interact with human lung cells. In a study published in the journal mBio, the team found that when bacteria form biofilms on the surfaces of our lungs, they can actually act as an immune modulator, meaning they can change the way our cells respond to other pathogens. This discovery may have implications for how we treat and prevent bacterial infections in the future.
