  • Focus Issue: Trained Immunity

    The articles in this focus issue discuss progress towards a better understanding of memory in the innate immune system, and efforts to develop new vaccines and therapeutics based on “trained immunity”.

    Collection
We liked the idea of having an open 'conversation' with the reviewers during the process, and having the chance to polish the manuscript by following the editors and reviewers’ recommendations without the threat of rejection.
