Insects possess a remarkable ability to develop innate immune memory, and the mechanisms underlying this process are becoming a central topic in innate immunity research.

Trained immunity in alveolar macrophages can lead to damaging lung inflammation, confirming the importance of context in this phenomenon.

Influenza viral infections provide a prime example of the importance of innate immunity because this virus is able to undergo continuous genetic variation, allowing it to evade prior adaptive ...
