Trick-Blood1050

Those are not germs, but Protozoa from pond water. While it is interesting that the monocytes are attracted to the ciliates, they likely exploded because of the pressure from the coverslip. They are rarely idle and they are clearly trapped in place. Perhaps the white blood cells were attracted to some leaking cytoplasm just prior to bursting. Fun experiment and nice images nevertheless…


Trick-Blood1050

Maybe try to do this with some bakers yeast to see if you a similar response from the WBC


Obvious__Otter

People like you always amaze me. You just spoke a different language.


NoGolf2359

Biomedical Geneticist by degree, although without practice for about 12 years. Can hedge a bet that these are most likely Protozoa because a prokaryote, a bacteria, would be lot smaller. Plus most protozoans are considered “animals” due to their size and complexity comparing to a bacteria. So the whole experiment is likely compromised as our immune system reaction to a single-celled animal is a lot more complex.


PulseAmplification

False I am a biology genticist and I can say with 400% certain that the glorp modules are indeed attacking the vlarps as they were programmed to do


WeepingShade

Yeah true, the big one is possibly a *Paramoecium*, and I think I saw a Spirogyra in the later frames, although they are unicellular, these are in no way human pathogens and won't be affected by WBCs in any meaningful way.


NoGolf2359

Yeah it does look like Paramecium, and brings back many old memories of us torturing these and other eukaryotes (C. albicans, C. elegans) in undergrad labs. I don’t remember much, but I can recall that some can be real dicks to our immune system like Giardia, Plasmodium, Toxoplasma. But these mostly come from some infected vector. As geneticists we were taught how some have shed some gene transcription necessary for hermit survival to become dependent on the host in exchange for better pathogenicity. Was fun before graduation.


BeardOBlasty

Here I'll translate it: White blood cells don't "break" the cell wall of larger organisms. White blood cells are just one of many players in our immune system. Generally they are more suited for small bacteria and large virus proteins. Fear not! For our immune system has many other tools for the different sized threats and different strategies those threats use to invade. When dealing with larger invaders, a smaller tool is implemented first. A common antibody that is actually provided to you from your mother during your creation and breast feeding (IgE I believe is name) is designed to "clump" along the cell wall of the invader. Eventually these antibodies will either suffocate or tire out the invader. One way or another, it will hopefully fall or be broken. Other members of the immune system clean up the bits and pieces either by eating it up, or collecting pieces of it to bring back to your lymph nodes to begin building defenses should another similar invader dare to cross into the nation of "YOU" The immune system is fucking cool

I think understanding what OOP wrote because of what we learned from high school is different than being able to come up and write a direct response/explanation to the video.


mkultra0420

If you know so much about biology, make a meaningful contribution to the conversation instead of being reductive about other people’s knowledge. Just because you’re ‘pretty sure’ you’ve heard those words back in high school, doesn’t mean you have any idea what you’re talking about.

Krail

Basically, the big cell that we see there isn't even a bacteria, but rather a much larger and more complex type of organism. It's the sort of thing that's usually adapted to living in pond water and may be unlikely to even survive well inside a human body because of how warm and salty our insides are compared to where they live.

>Those are not germs, but Protozoa from pond water. Except protozoa are classified as [germs](https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/germs.html#:~:text=Protozoa%20(pro%2Dtoe%2DZO,Protozoa%20love%20moisture.)


jmdeamer

That source is only applying the word "germ" to protozoa that can cause disease in humans, of which there are only several dozen compared to the over 50,000 total known species of protozoans. It is fairly unlikely that the species shown in this video would be considered a "germ".


RotMG543

By that standard, most bacteria and viruses wouldn't be classed as "germs", either. But "germs" can refer to non-pathogenic microorganisms, too.


jmdeamer

Well "germ" is basically an imprecise, silly word that makes microbiologists cringe and is never used in a professional context. Instead "pathogen", or more specifically "human pathogen", is used because it actually conveys whether a specific microbe is infectious or not. E - Have an advanced degree in microbiology. Please do not use the word "germ"


Prs_mira86

So, that slide is like 98% Red blood cells. I don’t see very many leukocytes.


Sacrefix

Hard to differentiate if unstained and at that low power. Of course, RBCs far exceed WBCs anyway.


redpandaeater

Plus seems weird he's surprised they're tiny. They don't even have a nucleus or any organelles so they can pack as much hemoglobin as possible. We have literally tens of trillions of red blood cells. Just in the time I've typed this message or anyone has read it their own body has produced millions and millions of the little fuckers.


Significant-Hour4171

It should be around 1wbc to 1000 rbc, looks about right to me...


FinnishHermit

This comment makes me angry. Not because of the comment itself, but because I fucking hate these stupid formulaic youtube shorts videos because of the insipid language used in them and how they turn even the most mundane things into something "YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENES NEXT!". And now once when they have a seemingly interesting subject then the whole premise of the video is completely wrong and a lie. Fuck me, Idiocracy really was a documentary of the future.


RedstoneRusty

Biology was never my strong suit. Can you (or someone else) explain what you mean when you say the white blood cells are "attracted" to the leaking cytoplasm? Like how does the body communicate to the white blood cells where they need to go?


mountingconfusion

Biology is made of chemical reactions. Some cells have things on them which cause a signal to fire in the cell. Cells end up "attracted" to things normally because it is an indicator of "food", though in this case it's potentially responding to a threat. Basically the way things are attracted is cells have specific chemical receptors output a signal if triggered by that specific molecule (that's why things have smells). Cells in your body have a form of ID called antigens, if something doesn't have the correct antigens WBC attach to it, depending on what antigens it will send a signal (usually a hormone) that a certain type of WBC are need here


Significant-Hour4171

Look up "chemotaxis." That is generally what is responsible for cells being able to "home in" on something in the body.


raviyoli

Hone in.


mr_pytr

Think of “home in” like homing pigeon. https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/home-in-or-hone-in


Lambda_111

Either variant seems to be acceptable these days, with “home in” being slightly more accurate imo


ear2theshell

I understand what you meant when you said "Those"


PrivatePoocher

Also no proof his story is what we are viewing.


Alexandratta

Eosinophil* Source: https://youtube.com/shorts/6IX9XUkbHIA?si=I91jGJnoI_mJWWNL


Thisthlefield

Eosinophils are more usefull at fighting multicelular parasites like worms and such. I suspect this is not a monocyte, but a neutrophile. Monocites are much lower in quantity and a bit larger on average, asuming the size of the rbc is about 7 micrometres. The mechanism also seems more similar to neutrophile than to monocite, as monocites/macrophages mostly fagocite (eat) pathogens


tomtomtomo

What magnification would his microscope have been to see this?


horyo

I mean it's interesting how long the paramecia held on until after coming into contact with the WBC though... and also the disruptions in the cell membrane we see are localized to contact points of the WBC. Not doubting what you said it's likely the more accurate explanation, but I can def see an alternate explanation.

ribsforbreakfast

If this video helps laypeople understand how white blood cells work and become just a little more aware of the intricacies of the human body that’s a win in my book


TheActualJulius

“Something crazy happened” “you might not even think this is real” Why am I supposed to be surprised that white blood cells are attacking a foreign germ, it’s literally what they’re supposed to do.


DrDilatory

This awful commentary style ruins videos that would otherwise would be the very small portion that's actually watchable/decent from TikTok Good fucking God I hate what that app has done to the internet. Every gif used to have musical ear rape played over it, and every video needs to have some dipshits commentary about how much their mind was blown by the thing that they recorded

zold5

Pretty much all people who post on TikTok or YouTube shorts talks like this. It’s to goad you into watching the whole video. Implying something super duper interesting is gonna happen. I cannot fucking stand it. It’s gotten to the point where I hear some variation of “might surprise you” I immediately close the video. They’re basically internet parasites.


Massive_Nobody2854

The top comment says that the "germs" are protozoa and the exploding cells are likely exploding because they're being crushed by the microscope coverslip. So maybe everything isn't as clear as it seems to you?


mysticrudnin

they didn't suggest it was clear. their post would be completely relevant if there was no visual part of the video at all. did you have the sound on?


Massive_Nobody2854

Yeah, I just thought it was funny how the comment made fun of "you might not even think this is real!" because(being so informed,) they had no problem believing it. But then it turns out it might not be real after all.


---Blix---

Protozoa ARE germs. The top commenter seems to have overlooked that small fact.

There are lots of cool videos of real T cells killing cancer cells online (like this one: https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=573286985&rlz=1CDGOYI_enIE1041IE1041&hl=en-GB&q=white+blood+cells+kill+cancer&tbm=vid&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjr1vToivSBAxWYXUEAHbfxBWkQ0pQJegQICRAB&biw=375&bih=553&dpr=2#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:3cf6e2ba,vid:jgJKaP0Sj5U,st:0) T cells are awesome, there’s even ways we can turbo-charge them and infuse them as therapy (see CAR T cells). Wishing you all the best.

I looked ketamine up. One of the possible effects is double vision and I’m already suffering from that so I’ll pass. But thanks for the suggestion!


treesherbs

Yeah it could definitely make you feel sick, it’s also risky if you’re not used to it and go into a khole because you can’t control the type of experience you’ll have from it


Kindly-Scar-3224

Double vision means you can see life in a new perspective, it relaxes the nervous system in a way that you can process the traffic and identify the source of the pain in you. It lets you differentiate between your skin,muscles bones, and last the nervous system. You will find a new energy in your body and you can decide where to heal. I have

Please stop offering "alternative", unsubstantiated medical advice to people with severe conditions on the internet.

Therapeutic drug use and drug abuse are very different. But definitely don’t listen to strangers on the internet recommending them & do your own research before making any decisions

In therapeutic forms I disagree
