Inhaling sugar could be a way to tackle lung infections, research suggests.

Scientists made the discovery while investigating
white blood cells called macrophages, which remove
harmful organisms from the immune system.


The Manchester University team said macrophages
in the lungs need the right level of glucose to
function properly.

Stimulating the cells with more sugar might help the
immune system fight off bronchial infections
responsible for coughing fits and pneumonia, they
say in the journal Nature Immunology.
