Amidst the tranquil waters of Old Japan, a Samurai in full armor stands guard, mirroring the protective role in our bodies. Unseen, this humble protein fortifies us against external threats, akin to the Samurai's armor. Under the microscope, albumin crystals in blood clots (as seen in these SEM images) resemble ancient armor, shielding us from harm. In the lab, an albumin reaction, as depicted in this 19th-century illustration, unfolds like a carefully choreographed battle, while the intricate beauty of a snail's anatomy (illustrated here) echoes albumin's essential role in maintaining the balance within our own bodies.
