Abstract
Children resist COVID-19, and previous studies reported increased innate immunity in their upper airways. A new paper by Watkins et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20230911) shows that the nasal mucosa of children is characterized by often asymptomatic viral and/or bacterial infections that dynamically regulate distinct innate immune programs.
