Biofilm is a syntrophic community of microorganisms enveloped by extracellular polymeric substances and displays remarkable adaptability to dynamic environments. Implementing biofilm in anaerobic digestion has been widely investigated and applied as it promotes microbial retention time and enhances the efficiency. Previous studies on anaerobic biofilm primarily focused on application in wastewater treatment, while its role has been significantly extended to accelerate the degradation of lignocellulosic biomass, improve gas-liquid mass transfer for biogas upgrading, or enhance resistance to inhibitors or toxic pollutants.

Article Synopsis
- Research highlights the significant role of immune processes in the development of Alzheimer's disease, which is the leading cause of dementia.
- Various studies indicate that both innate and adaptive immune responses contribute to the disease's pathology and are influenced by genetics and lifestyle factors.
- New therapeutic approaches targeting neuroinflammation are being explored in clinical settings, offering potential treatment options for Alzheimer's patients.
