For decades, immunologists believed that only the adaptive immune system — T cells and B cells — could “remember” past encounters with pathogens. But in the last 15 years, researchers have discovered that the innate immune system is not as short-lived as once thought. Through a process now called trained immunity, innate immune cells such … Ler mais
