The Effect of Exercise on Regulatory T Cell Populations in Rat Mammary Adenocarcinoma Tumor and Spleen Samples using Foxp3 and CD25
The Effect of Exercise on Regulatory T Cell Populations in Rat Mammary Adenocarcinoma Tumor and Spleen Samples using Foxp3 and CD25 Sharonya Battula ABSTRACT In healthy individuals, regulatory T cells (Tregs) suppress self-reactive lymphocytes to prevent autoimmune disease; however, in cancer patients, Tregs also serve a protumorigenic function, as their Read more…

Combined efficiency of preloaded beta-galactosidase and ultra-filtration in the production of lactose-free milk products
Combined efficiency of preloaded beta-galactosidase and ultra-filtration in the production of lactose-free milk products Author: Bryn Werley Abstract: Lactose intolerance is a condition which results in the inability to digest lactose, a disaccharide naturally found in milk. Lactose intolerance is caused by a deficiency in beta-galactosidase (lactase) enzyme production. This results in Read more…
