A model of early-life interactions between the gut microbiome and adaptive immunity provides insights into the ontogeny of immune tolerance
The developing immune system must learn which microbes to tolerate and which to resist, but how this process unfolds is unclear. This study develops a mechanistic mathematical model of early-life gut ...
