Gene-specific regulation of inflammation via TLR-induced chromatin modifications

This Pillars of Immunology article revisits the landmark 2007 study by Foster, Hargreaves, and Medzhitov-the first to uncover the mechanistic basis of memory in the innate immune system. This pivotal study marks a fundamental shift in our understanding of innate immunity, revealing an epigenetic logic that enables immune memory beyond the adaptive immune system.
