Resumen de Neonate-omics: Charting the Unknown Immune Response in Early Life

Madeleine F. Jennewein, Audrey L. Butler, Galit Alter

• The study of neonatal immunology has been hampered by lack of access to infant samples. Novel sample sparing methods and systems-wide approaches have uniquely expanded this field, demonstrating that newborn immunity varies widely but converges over the first 3 months of life. During this important time window, environmental and genetic factors impact the infant immune system and can influence lifelong immunity.
