Introduction

Anatomy

Inflammation

Integrative concepts

Organelles. These are different sets of functional bodies inside cells. Uhmmm isn't that covered in Mol Cell Bio? Of course! But we'll be biting into some of these ourselves here, membrane changes during phagocytosis, mitochondria used as a weapon, lysosomes critical for forming immunity.... oh yeah, and bacterial DNA categorically identified by our own immune receptors! Click on the sandwich for a quick 7-minute clip to cover these.

Proteins... wait isn't that Biochem? Well maybe yeah, but we'll be seeing quite a few of them here as well, and even dive into some disulfide bonds, self-assembling proteins, enzymatic triggers and protein:protein interactions aplenty! I know, I didn't expect it as well! Click on the mug for a 7-minute clip to brush up on that.

Organelles+Proteins... Watch as BBC goes overboard with a super-realistic animated 3-minute overview of some fantastic protein activities in the immune system!
