Is There a Kind of Memory in the Adaptive Immune System?
For a long time, we thought that memory was really only something the adaptive immune system could do. And so i would say maybe like 12 years ago, 15 years ago, there was this landmark study that pin pointed that actually memory could also be a feature of the naian system. But i worked a little bit differentl in the adaptiveomin system. The namian system is really comprised of short lived cells like macraphases. These are cells that are sort of the garbage collectors of the body. They make a lot of inflammatory sidicine, so proteins that cause inflammation. So essentially, you're sort of like training yourselves to be better killers, better fighters.
