    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

    I have an autoimmune disease that doesnt act like one, its called Raynauds, basically the process your body does when youre cold is overreactive to a fault in my body and im unfortunate enough to have a fairly severe case of it, its not the same because in stead of killing my healthy cells by body is in a constant state of overreacting (from my understanding at least)
    id love to see a video on autoimmune diseases and how people treat them at all

    • @siubhanward7631
      @siubhanward7631 ปีที่แล้ว +39

      It depends what type you have, primary reynauds which is a condition on its own (not considered autoimmune), but also know people with secondary reynauds (caused by an already pre existing autoimmune disease, I’m personally type 1 diabetic). When you’re cold your body constricts your blood vessels as a normal response, but with reynauds the constriction is more severe and can last much longer is how I can best describe it. So painful sometimes 😅

      I also think that people that has allergies also have a kind of autoimmune disease. I cant recall it fully, but basically allergies are kind of disease where your immune system over reacts at something normally harmless. Like towards pollen. Cells at Work does a good job to explain it, and why people with allergies reacting the way they do

It will have many mechanics, such as having to find a difference between infected cells and regular ones to arm your killer cells, without killing your own cells or letting too many infected ones get by.

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

    I appreciate you guys at Kurzgesagt breaking down topics that are seemingly easy to understand, into ways that are very very chewable to the point that we could gain mastery over the topic just by focusing. So entertaining for youth and kids alike. Good work guys, thank you for these free contents that even tho it takes so much resources/efforts we can see the passion in it. :)

    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.

    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.

      It’s not only receptors, bacterial cell membranes are different from human cell membranes; they contain polysaccharides as an outer shell, as well as lipopolysaccharides, lipoproteins, peptidoglycan. Same process for viruses. For good bacteria, there are dendritic cells that take protein samples from good bacteria, travel to lymphatic nodes with the broken-down protein, and show those proteins around for the immune system to see and understand that those microbiota are friendly.

The hints about hypervariable regions, HLA antigens and genetic recombination are irresistible. I've always found the immune system to be utterly fascinating, and so I'm looking forward tremendously to reading the book - which I've just ordered. You guys are the best.
