Pigeons May Sense Earth’s Magnetic Field Using Superparamagnetic Immune Cells in Their Livers | Sci.News
“We had some clues that the liver and spleen have magnetic properties, because they break down red blood cells and so store much iron in the body,” said Dr. Clivia Lisowski, a researcher at the University of Bonn and the University Hospital Bonn. “Iron is crystallized in oxide nanoparticles making the cells superparamagnetic and reactive…
