    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

    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.

    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

    I've been a doctor for more years than I care to remember, and this is, without doubt, the best explanation I've seen of how the immune system works. 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.

    I got the book today ❤ i love it! The pictures are so captivating, smells good and how did you know i prefer hardcovers! 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
    Much love, as always Philipp and keep up the great work!

      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..?

    • @pokepaar3696
      @pokepaar3696 3 роки тому +40

      @@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.

      And why should you be useful anyway and for what? For work, for sex? And adults do not become "useful", they stop listening to you and constantly argue with you. In fact, everything you said is nonsense.

      It's a sentiment which has been expressed before: "We are, each of us, a multitude." (Carl Sagan)
      "While our [microscopic] fellow travelers may not inspire our love, we at least have the consolation of knowing that we are never completely alone." (National Geographic Film, _The Invisible World_ )
      Another approximate quote, and I can't remember the source: "You are their entire universe."

    I love how the sperm at 1:07 just says "Schnüff".
    For those who don't know, "Schnüff" is German and a soft way to express you're either sad or happy, which one really depends on the context. "Schnüff" is meant to indicate that your nose is running, because you were crying, either from joy or sadness. It's often used in a jokish manner, f.e. when someone else bought the 3rd street of a row in Monopoly when you already have 2 of them, that's a "Schnüff" moment.

    • @velvetpaws999
      @velvetpaws999 2 роки тому +8

      Well, while this was all good, it is nonetheless beside the point. Schnüff is an abbreviation of the Verb schnüffeln, meaning to smell when talking about animals. In German, we say we cannot smell someone when we don’t like them and we can smell them very well when we do like them. So the cell smells the other to figure out which way it’s going to go, like or don’t like!
