How The Immune System ACTUALLY Works – IMMUNE

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

"Its impossible to cover in one video..." Aww... "So we'll make a series." YES!

Me: im so lonely, why does no one care about me? Literally trillions of cells inside me: sire i would end my life for you

Me: *gets a minor wound* Oww! Immune System: On your feet soldiers! This is not a drill! Let's fight this battle with our lives!

As a medical student this was really enjoyable to watch and review some of my knowledge from last year. I struggle with ADHD so I have to make every topic interesting to study it well and keep me engaged, these videos were wonderful for me as they made immunology fun and not boring. Thank you!

"The human immune system is the most complex biological system we know after the human brain...... " is a classic example of the human brain humble bragging about the human brain

“It’s been a normal day, when suddenly the earth explodes” That’s a kurzgesagt video for sure

Just want to say I got the book and can't stop reading, never found human biology so interesting. Bought the hardcover and it is an absolutely wonderful read. I'm an engineer I've never found something that explains something so well in an entertaining way to someone like me who knows nothing about medicine. Never wanted to look after myself so much! Great fun read, hoping there will some day be another book? Massive fan of the channel, keep educating people guys!

Helper T cells : they say you're suck Macrophage : AAAAAAGH

"The human immune system is the most complex biological system we know, after the human brain" -The human brain

"They even continue killing after they die" So like a little sibling in a game of pretend.

Tomorrow is literally my biology exam and I must say I've never had this much fun watching a video about the immune system. Kudos kurzgesagt. You have made me invested in biology. You never fail to deliver huh?

The fact they can explain years of studying into a couple of 10 minute videos show how much they care and how hard they work. It's so well simplified!!!❤️

Me when I get sick: "oh no, this is the end of the world." My immune system, fighting the battle of his life: "you call this the end of the world? I call it Tuesday"

"They even continue killing after they die" Local cell too angry to die.

This was amazing!! Probably the best and most exciting video I've seen so far❤ I study medicine myself and immune system was one of the hardest parts of fyziology. If I had this video back than when I had to complete a test about it, I would pass it easily 😅 Nailed it guys! Keep up this amazing work!

I bought the book immediately after I saw this video. And I just finished the book a couple of seconds ago. It is a piece of genius and knowledge. Thank you for this beautiful walk through one of the complex systems and fields modern entertainment rarely to never pays attention to in this immense detail. I have the feeling to have understood and learnt so many things that were only cloudy schemes of slight understanding before and probably this book also increases the number of IQ points of every single reader. Gorgeous work! I just cannot stop celebrating this gem of literature! Thank you for work and contribution! Continue what you do and continue to do it with as much passion and love as you are already putting into it! 💙💜❤️

I love how Kurzgesagt really just roasts pre ordering games in such a calm way

"let's talk about the immune system" "when suddenly, the world explodes and an asteroid rips the sky open and countless alien lifeforms invade" yep, a kurzgesagt video

I just got the Immune and it is AMAZING because usually when I see stuff about the Immune System it's complex but in the book all the hard topics have been turned simple and fun. You guys should really get it. Thanks Philipp!!
