McGill team wins grant to study 'trained immunity' with Japanese researchers | Newsroom
By Junji Nishihata In recent years, the concept of ‘trained immunity’ has emerged as a new area of interest. This refers to the body’s inherent ability to reprogram the innate immune cells to respond differently to subsequent infections. Where does this recall come from?
