Abstract

En 中文
Homing pigeons’ navigation in darkness relies on Earth’s magnetic field. However, the underlying mechanism of magnetoreception remains poorly understood. Recently, Lisowski et al. demonstrated that superparamagnetic hepatic macrophages are potential magnetoreceptors that detect and transmit geomagnetic information to support the navigation of pigeons.
