Donkey’s Milk in the Management of Children with Cow’s Milk protein allergy

GwynneL.

Donkey’s Milk in the Management of Children with Cow’s Milk protein allergy: nutritional and hygienic aspects SUMMARY: Doctors and scientists have been looking for a good cow-milk (CM) substitute for the 4% of kids who have severe CM allergies. Unfortunately, goat and sheep milk often contain proteins that are similar to those found in CM… Continue reading Donkey’s Milk in the Management of Children with Cow’s Milk protein allergy

The Endocannabinoid System of Animals

GwynneL.

The Endocannabinoid System of Animals SUMMARY: This article talks about the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in animals. The first and second section talk about the three parts of the ECS: receptors (CBR1 and CBR2), ligands (endocannabinoids), and the ligand degrading enzymes. The receptors are G-protein coupled receptors, the ligands bind directly to these receptors, and the… Continue reading The Endocannabinoid System of Animals

Electronic Tongues

GwynneL.

A Versatile Electronic Tongue Based on Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging and Cross-Reactive Sensor Arrays-A Mini-Review SUMMARY: Scientists are trying to create electronic tongues (eT) and noses (eN) that act like human tongues and noses. These artificial sensors are different from traditional sensors in that they don’t recognize individual molecules, but heterogeneous liquids and gases. In… Continue reading Electronic Tongues

Microgravity and the Respiratory System

GwynneL.

Microgravity and the Respiratory System SUMMARY: What are the effects of gravity on lung function? This study first breaks down how gravity works and its effects on living organisms. The second section explains lung function with and without gravity. Finally, the last sections look at the difference in lung function during and after short and… Continue reading Microgravity and the Respiratory System
