    You are not a person, you are a planet, made of roughly 40 trillion cells. There is so much of you, that if your cells were human-sized, you would be as big as 20 Mount Everests. For your creepy-crawly inhabitants, this makes your body an ecosystem, rich in resources and warmth and space. A perfect place to move into and have a family. While some of these guests are welcome, most are not. Your immune system is the guardian of this planet, the force tasked with protecting yourself against the constant danger of invasion.

    Hey everybody! Today finally marks the release of “Immune - A Journey Into the Mysterious System that Keeps You Alive”. The book I've sorta started writing a decade ago!
    You can get it here: kgs.link/ImmuneBook - It’s available in English and German and at online retailers it should be available in pretty much all countries too.
    First we had to push the release back because of cargo trouble and then because so many of you pre-ordered that we didn’t have enough copies for the original launch day! Thank you so, so much for that!
    Tonight I'm doing an AMA on Reddit where you can ask me about Kurzgesagt, science communication and of course the book! Join here: kgs.link/KGS_AMA
    In any case - Kurzgesagt is a passion project and it's just so heartwarming how wholesome and supportive our community and viewers are. I'm incredibly grateful to have this job and to be able to make content for all of you, video or printed. - Philipp

    Biotechnologist here, working on antibody engineering. I have been watching your videos almost since the beginning and preordered your book. Your videos never fail to amaze me, but this video is on another level. Is the pinnacle of science divulgation, something that scientists should aim for. The systems you are explaining are complicated even for those with biology knowledge, but you explain them with an easiness and preciseness worth of mentioning.
    Thank you so much for your videos, and keep it up! :D

    Loving the book already! I'm making a game where players can control the immune system and protect a person from infections and cancer as they grow and age, all inspired by Kurzgesagt's videos. I've put 320 hours of work on it so far and will keep working until it's finished (I'm a biologist and had been dreaming of a game like that for years, the book announcement was the final push I needed). If anyone reading this has ideas for the game, please leave a comment and I'll consider them (thanks to everyone who did so on the last video).
    I'll upload devlogs to my channel and also made a discord for anyone interested in the progress.
    I think it would also be amazing if the Kurzgesagt team wanted to collaborate so the game could have their artstyle and complement the book. I'll try to reach them soon.

    One really underrated thing about Kurzgesagt is how well they organize their sources. They provide you with a source for every statement found in a video and provides the quote within that source that led to the statement. This is extremely rare if not unique even among educational youtubers, and we should be using those as an example on how to source things.

Ive graduated uni as a biomed with a strong passion for the immune system and cancer studying it ever since 2014 but decided to get this to show my support for all the great work you have done and educating so many millions of people and this is such a refreshing way to look at the immune system! I remember getting the usual textbooks and struggling struggling understand how it worked in some parts as there were no colored or any pictures to illustrate it in a way i understood it and i will say on your videos i can get lost with the similes of a metaphor and what youre trying to explain i will be honest, however I am happy you also explain alongside it the simile of the metaphor to what is actually called and how it functions. Please do write more, i would love to see one in hemato-oncoly & paraneoplastic syndromes or genetics and I'd happy buy and add it to my collection in a heartbeat! Needless to say i wish i had this book when i was starting or these videos available to me back then

      Yes, they did a pretty reasonable job, in about 10 minutes, of something of great complexity that took me weeks and months to pick up during my PhD studies.
      Putting it in about one or sentences, I would say that the adaptive immune system teaches itself to recognise the body's own proteins shortly after birth. Therefore, logically, any other proteins encountered later on must necessarily be foreign, and treated accordingly.

      Speaking realistically, do you think that vaccinating against the virus if you have a robust immune system could compromise your already functioning defenses to make you weaker when resisting getting sick with the varuz..? Also what's your stance overall about natural immunity as a whole, in this case, to the varuz..?

      @@DarkRipper117 I'm a medical student, so maybe I can answer.
      Vaccinating if you have a robust immune system will not make you more susceptible to the virus. I can only think of one virus (Dengue) where antibodies against it make you susceptible to a different kind of the same virus, but it's not SARS-CoV-2 and there's no vaccine against it anyway.
      Vaccination induces natural immunity. Artificial immunity does exist (its called passive immunization), in it antibodies are injected in you (for example in a tetanus shot) and your immune system does not make its own antibodies. In vaccination, only the invader is fake, the antibodies are made by your body and are completely natural.

      Damn, I'm an immunology student, and VDJ recombination is making my head explode at some (most) times. That and complement, MHC functions, and the production of antibodies...

      I am doing my PhD in immunology. All of my colleagues can describe you how V(D)J recombination works but no one remembers the details anymore and that’s okay you will forget it too. What matters is to understand the concepts very well and that requires learning the details first

      Why do you? You're also part of the problem. Everything he stated was true. Vaccine injuries and deaths are happening all over, yet the media hasn't mentioned a word of it. And they can't be sued they have"immunity" from lawsuits it's all true. These companies shoud never have liability waivers but they do, that tells me there is something extremely suspicious going on and that screams corruption.

      @UCJW39B295kUGjJDa3-ExLXg shut the fuck up, if you think that the new immune system series is the same as the old ones it's just no true this videos are much better than their previous videos about the topic and they are genuinely interesting and explore more obscure things about the immune system and if you are talking about the book and this series just... no like the book goes into much more detail while the videos are much more sumarized/simplified so they are not hour long videos, wich isn't a bad thing for me personally i find this videos great because they are short, fun and interesting.

    Could you find the time to make a video about the AUTOIMMUNE? Perhaps there is a connection between "Murder University" and a "bug in the curicullum"...
