Abstract
This news item is about: Forgetful immune systems leave infants particularly prone to infections. Upending the common theory that weak immune cells are to blame, a Cornell study has found that infants’ immune systems actually respond to infection with more speed and strength than adults, but the immunities they create fail to last.
