Medical biomarkers such as blood glucose levels indicate hidden diseases in the body. The better these are known, the more effective the therapy. Authors: ZDF/Terra X/Bilderfest/Florian Breier/Klaus Wache/Tobias Forth/Maik Siegle /Peter Riegel/Lilly Wagner/ Maximilian Mohr Translation and dubbing:
In the so-called cytokine storm, larger and larger amounts of cytokines are released uncontrollably. They then also "mark" healthy cells and cause the immune cells to attack the body's own tissue. Authors: 3Sat/Nano/docuVista Filmproduktion/Marilena Schulte, Maike Wurtscheid/Jörg Becker, Sergios Ro
If the immune system remains permanently active, a smoldering fire occurs in the body. Inflammatory foci are constantly fueled - until they become chronic. This also destroys healthy tissue. Author: 3sat/nano/DOCUVISTA Filmproduktion/Marilena Schulte, Maike Wurtscheid/Jörg Becker, Sergios Roth/Tatj
In the regenerative phase, inflammation-resolving messenger substances are released. Macrophages of type M2 dispose of cell and tissue debris. At the same time, other immune cells begin the first repair measures. Author: 3sat/nano/DOCUVISTA Filmproduktion/Marilena Schulte,Maike Wurtscheid/Jörg Beck
If a foreign body penetrates the skin, phagocytes in the damaged tissue are the first to react. So-called M1-type macrophages release pro-inflammatory messenger substances. These include prostaglandins. These hormones trigger a pain stimulus. Author: 3sat/nano/DOCUVISTA Filmproduktion/Marilena Schu
The Alps are Central Europe's highest mountains, towering as high as 4800 meters. Today, mainly the harsh weather shapes the Alps. But the forces that formed these mountains came from within the Earth. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Bilderfest/Florian Breier, Christian Stiefenhofer/Michi Kern/Klaus Wache/Tob
A river flows because water always follows the natural gradient on the earth's surface. All flowing waters follow the line of least resistance. River curves have developed naturally over thousands of years. They are called meanders. Author: ZDF/Terra X/Bilderfest/Florian Breier, Christian Stiefenho
