Abstract
Literature data on magnitosomes, the nanocrystals formed during natural biomineralization have been summarized. Special attention is paid to magnitosome effect on physiological and biochemical processes, impairments of cell homeostasis and development of various pathologies. It is suggested that the increase in quantity and sizes of magnetosomes, spatial rearrangement, and modification of their crystalline substance exert substantial effect on development of pathological processes.
