This new study by researchers from the University of California San Diego, indicates that tube worms are able to do this process more efficiently than humans. In the study, iron was added to test ...

Both approaches compared the reactions of worm ferritin with human ferritin. In the first approach, iron was added to reaction tubes containing the respective ferritins, after which the remaining ...

Bloodless Worm Sheds Light On Human Blood, Iron Deficiency Date: April 19, 2008 Source: University of Maryland Summary: Using a lowly bloodless worm, researchers have discovered an important clue ...

But now, it appears that a kind of bioluminescent marine worm might help us combat this problem. Ferritin is a kind of protein that stores and controls the release of iron in the body. A lack of ...

Researchers have discovered that the mechanism that we rely on to transport iron safely through our blood can collapse into a state which grows long worm-like "fibrils" banded by lines of iron rust.

Bristle worms are found almost everywhere in seawater, they have populated the oceans for hundreds of millions of years. Nevertheless, some of their special features have only now been deciphered ...
