Hello There! #balanceoftheforce #starwars In a galaxy (not so) far, far away, within the realm of #immunology , #tcells play a crucial role similar to the force-sensitive Jedi/Sith/Rebels in Star Wars. These remarkable defenders, much like Jedi, come in two main types - the helper T cells and the killer T cells. Think of the helper T cells like Jedi such as Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker, balancing the force of your immune system. They receive signals, from other immune cells and present them to the immune system council, known as the immune system command center. These inform the immune system in recognizing friend from foe, just as Jedi Masters discern the light side from the evils in the galaxy. Think of killer #tcells, like the Rebel Alliance in Star Wars - such as Han Solo/Leia Organa. They are fighters within the immune system. When activated, they transform into a powerful alliance equipped with their blasters representing cytotoxic molecules. These T cells seek out and eliminate the empire...or infected cells. The helper and killer #tcells make up the balance in your body to maintain the justice and protect the body from harm.

On #thisDayInScience in 2011, scientists discovered how our immune system fights anthrax. Infected cells use ATP to alert others, activating a defence that boosts resistance to the deadly bacteria. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments. #anthrax #immunology Read this post and more on my Typeshare Social Blog: https://lnkd.in/g-K_r_Ge

Acquired immunity relies on the capacity of immune cells to distinguish between the body's own cells and unwanted invaders. The host's cells express "self" antigens. These antigens are different from those on the surface of bacteria or on the surface of virus-infected host cells ("non-self" or "foreign" antigens). The innate, or nonspecific, immune system is one of the two main immunity strategies (the other being the adaptive immune system) in vertebrates. https://lnkd.in/ed-7DZHj

At The Good Ideas Group, we’re passionate about transforming complex science into captivating stories. Meet Interleukin-6 (IL-6), the conductor of your body's orchestra. It's a protein produced by various cells that plays a vital role in regulating your immune response and inflammation. Think of it as a messenger that signals your body when something's not quite right. We recently worked on an animation that breaks down the function of IL-6 in a simple and engaging way! From its role in fighting off infections to its involvement in chronic diseases, this animation sheds light on the importance of this powerhouse protein. Here’s a sneak preview 🎥 #ScienceExplained #IL6 #Immunology101

Innate vs. Adaptive Immunity The immune system is typically divided into two categories--innate and adaptive--although these distinctions are not mutually exclusive. Innate immunity Innate immunity refers to nonspecific defense mechanisms that come into play immediately or within hours of an antigen's appearance in the body. These mechanisms include physical barriers such as skin, chemicals in the blood, and immune system cells that attack foreign cells in the body. The innate immune response is activated by chemical properties of the antigen. Adaptive immunity Adaptive immunity refers to antigen-specific immune response. The adaptive immune response is more complex than the innate. The antigen first must be processed and recognized. Once an antigen has been recognized, the adaptive immune system creates an army of immune cells specifically designed to attack that antigen. Adaptive immunity also includes a "memory" that makes future responses against a specific antigen more efficient. Youtube video: https://lnkd.in/dVENAJwv \#nikolays_genetics_lessons
