This is honestly the most incredible learning tool for immunology I’ve ever seen. No pretense, not over complicating topics, you just give the information in an engaging way. Thank you, I can’t wait to watch the rest.
My favorite youtuber has returned!!! Last time I was not in med school but now I am and Immunology is my top interest, partially sparked by your videos before I got in. Welcome back and thanks for the video! I couldn’t believe it when you said Antigen is short for antibody generator. It’s so obvious yet no one ever said it when we went through immunology!
28:50 we learnt in our immunology class that the innate immune system does in fact retains some sort of memory of the pathogens it encountered. this is called trained immunity, and apparently, it is a more recent concept which is why we dont see it mentioned in our immunology textbook often
@@Noooneed Yeah, it's more epigenetic and transient than our adaptive immune system's memory, but there are still some notable parallels in their fundamentals, such as antigen specificity (not exactly, but kinda, at least to a certain degree), immunological imprinting, enhanced activity upon re-exposure, and so on.
@@friendlyneighborhoodimmuno7192 last year there was the revelations about some of the alzheimers research being not so legit. Was that big new in your world?
@@bobman929 Good question. The most interesting new article I've seen was about restoring mitochondria to health as a treatment for AD. www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/israeli-scientists-find-groundbreaking-approach-for-treating-alzheimer-s-study/ar-AA17Gjy9?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=786a8525503f46fab7d09fab3a516c6f
@@friendlyneighborhoodimmuno7192 that would make a lot of sense seeing as the brain uses so much energy. I didn't realise that Mitochondria can be transferred though and exist alone in the extracellular fluid. Our bodies a so damn impressive.
