Exploring In Vivo Electron Tunneling with Ferritin in Various Tissues
A recent paper published in IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological and Multi-Scale Communications reviews the evidence of electron tunneling associated with ferritin, a protein involved in iron storage. The study explores the potential role of electron tunneling in various biological systems, including the retina, cochlea, macrophages, glial cells, mitochondria, and magnetosensory systems. The authors hope to raise awareness of this phenomenon and encourage further research into the mechanism of electron tunneling in biological systems that incorporate ferritin.
