    To get IMMUNE click 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.
    Ohai! I’m Philipp, the founder and head writer of Kurzgesagt and author of IMMUNE! Let me say a few words about it: IMMUNE is older than Kurzgesagt and I began working on it about a decade ago in university. The idea was to explore a super important but also extremely misunderstood and complicated topic and “translate” it into a language everybody could understand. I’ve done my best to basically write a super long Kurzgesagt video but with less of the limitations of a ten minute video.
    IMMUNE is a fascinating and fun journey through your own body, together we’ll be exploring mystery organs, murder universities, your enemies from viruses, bacteria and cancer (and how your immune system might have killed a cancer cell while you were reading the last few sentences) and the incredibly beautiful and amazing parts, cells and systems that keep you alive. After reading it you should not only gain a new appreciation for your own body but also experience disease differently. A flu or something more serious will not be this abstract thing but something you can sort of witness and imagine which mechanisms are active and which cells are doing what. At least personally, knowing how the immune system works always has given me great comfort when I felt unwell. Also 45 illustrated pages by the Kurzgesagt team make the book very pretty.
    Preorders are incredibly important in the world of books so if you are considering getting it, it would mean a lot if you could do that. Because preorders determine if a publisher will try to get the book into bookstores, so a lot of the book’s success depends on it.
    I’m incredibly grateful that so many of you have watched these videos in the last few years. And I hope you will give my first book a chance too. - Philipp

    As someone who studied this in university, it is fantastic to see the wonderful world of microbiology and immunology be portrayed in a format that everyone can enjoy! In fact, your videos played a big part in me taking this as my career path, and I greatly thank you for it because I absolutely love my field. Your videos are astounding and inspire so many people. I'm looking forward to that book :).

    Imagine a game where you could play as the immune system of a person, controlling the cells to fight infections as the person grows and ages, and the better you play the longer your person stays alive. And all with Kurzgesagt's art style and music.
    Edit: Ok, this blew up. I'm making it! Comment and I'll tag you when I have something playable or if you want to help. I've been dreaming about having a game like that since I was a child and will even put money into making it a reality. I'll try to contact Kurzgesagt about their style too, it would make anything better.

Neutrophils made upto more than 50% of all immune cells thats why neutrophils are more likely to face the pathogens first especially if pathogen has entered a blood vessel. If the pathogen is unlucky and has entered body through tissue then Macrophages become the first responders

Ironically, the immune system thinks it's the most complex biological system for the exact same reason, it too is not the first, but only the second.

Their videos are stimulating and never boring. And they also make the effort to write a narrative that is purely based on scientific research & facts and they know exactly when to call their information incomplete when there is lack of information. Overall, their honesty, creativity, and desire for quality made them into the successful channel that they are today thanks to the dedicated people who worked hard in publishing these videos and creating their merchandise.

    I started learning about the immune system during a period in which I self-harmed, and it got me to stop for a while. You are a fortress; your blood is a moat and the complement system are crocodiles, your skin is a castle wall, your memory cells are long-serving sentries. Even if you hurt yourself, even if you tear through the castle walls and lead the enemy through trapdoors, your immune system will fight for you tirelessly. Crying with an MCAT biology review book in my arms like it was a childhood tale wasn’t something I’d expected, but it got me through the worst of it. That felt nice to get off my chest.

    The video says the first step in the body's defense is recruitment of macrophages, and this is how it's often taught, but there's another important first step: blood clotting. The clotting cascade responds quickly to the cut to stop bleeding and also to stop invaders from infiltrating. Clotting physically stops pathogens while also signaling to the immune cells what to do. This biological pathway is ancient and essential, and our immune system evolved to work in the context of blood coagulation.
    This is something I didn't learn in school but is being more widely appreciated by immunologists. I learned it from the Immune podcast. Check it out, now that Kurzgesagt laid out the overview so well :)

    • @henrysun5660
      @henrysun5660 3 года назад +7

      Yeah I figured when watching the video. Your blood clots to prevent any more pathogens from entering which eventually forms into a scab. The scab basically becomes your skin and slowly shrinks over time as your skin repairs itself. Had the blood not clotted you could die because the pathogens will continually enter your body.

    I'm an immunologist, working on field and on laboratory. And I just need to THANK YOU ! This video and this upcoming series is just amazing!
    My favourite part is when T-helper cells migrates in the site of infection to stimulate the respiratory burst of macrophages, and they're ready and angry to fight again.. I've never seen that from this 'battlefield' perspective, and that's just exciting.
    I'll never stop to thank you for your effort and spiffing content that you bring! GO KURZGESAGT, GO SCIENCE !!
    (Edit) I'm buying the book for sure
