Welcome to this calming journey through the foundations ofimmunobiology.In this episode, we drift through the origins of immunology, the cells and organs of the immune system, and the first innate defenses against infection.The narration is slow, soothing, and layered with gentle imagery — perfect for relaxing, studying, or falling asleep while still learning.Table of Contents    1.
