{Reference Type}: Journal Article {Title}: Kids' noses resist COVID-19. {Author}: Zanoni I; {Journal}: J Exp Med {Volume}: 221 {Issue}: 9 {Year}: 2024 Sep 2 {Factor}: 17.579 {DOI}: 10.1084/jem.20241027 {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.
