Immuniteit, Infectie en Tolerantie
Het immuunsysteem beschermt ons tegen ziekten, maar soms gaat het mis. Dan dringt er toch een vijand binnen of valt het immuunsysteem ons eigen lichaam aan, waardoor we ziek worden. Artsen en onderzoekers van het Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum (LUMC) willen het immuunsysteem zodanig sturen, dat…
