How much do we know about nanobacteria?
It was determined that nanobacteria derived from atheroma plaque were structures composed of human proteins. The findings confirmed the theory that nanobacteria are non-living structures formed by a mechanism called biocrystallization. Although the accumulation of nanobacteria may be a contributing element to the creation of atheroma plaque, it is possible that the etiological components that initiate the formation of the plaque are not nanobacteria.
