Ivan Mechnikov was a pioneering Russian biologist and Nobel laureate known for his groundbreaking research on the immune system and probiotics. His work revolutionized our understanding of how the body defends itself against pathogens and laid the foundation for modern immunology. Mechnikov's discovery of phagocytosis, the process by which white blood cells engulf and destroy harmful bacteria, has had a lasting impact on medical science. He also championed the use of yogurt as a natural remedy to promote gut health, long before probiotics became popular in mainstream culture. Mechnikov's legacy continues to inspire scientists around the world to explore new ways to harness the power of our own immune systems for better health and longevity.
