Ferrimagnetic organelles in multicellular organisms

TL;DR

This paper reveals that biogenic magnetic nanoparticles form chains in the capillary walls of animals and in plant and fungi tissues, suggesting they function as ferrimagnetic organelles involved in transport systems in multicellular organisms.

Contribution

It introduces the novel idea that biogenic magnetic nanoparticles form ferrimagnetic organelles with specific functions in multicellular organisms.

Findings

Magnetic nanoparticles are localized in chains in capillary walls.

These nanoparticles are part of the transport system.

Chains may serve as ferrimagnetic organelles.

Abstract

In this paper, it was revealed by means of methods of atomic force microscopy and magnetic force microscopy that the biogenic magnetic nanoparticles are localized in the form of chains in the walls of the capillaries of animals and the walls of the conducting tissue of plants and fungi. The biogenic magnetic nanoparticles are part of the transport system in multicellular organisms. In this connection, a new idea of function of biogenic magnetic nanoparticles is discussed in the paper that the chains of biogenic magnetic nanoparticles represent a ferrimagnetic organelles of a specific purpose.
