Zum Wiedereinstieg nach erneut viel zu langer Pause verlinke ich hier einige neuer Artikel zum Immunsystem und angrenzenden Themen, die ich noch genauer sichten muss. Der Beitrag über Autoimmunerkrankungen als Folge einer erfolgreichen körpereigenen Krebs-Abwehr, der seit Wochen in der Blog-Pipeline hängt, folgt hoffentlich bald.
