Scientists finally solved why some frogs survive a deadly fungus

I find it fascinating that scientists have figured out why some frog populations bounce back from a deadly fungal disease while others don't. The key seems to be the timing of their immune development, which plays a crucial role in their survival. Toads that develop their immune defenses early, while still tadpoles, are much better equipped to handle the infection later on. This research not only sheds light on amphibian resilience but could also inspire future medicines for humans!
