The low antigenicity, biodegradable nature, and cell-binding properties of collagen make it valuable for tissue engineering applications. In parallel, Gelatin is biocompatible, non-immunogenic and bioresorbable. Although, gelatin lacks the structural characteristics of collagen but it has higher solubility and lower cost relative to collagen. Gelatin/CaPs nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical properties and better cell attachment have also been reported. The gelatin/HAP nanostructured scaffolds exhibited mechanical strength comparable to the spongy bone with an excellent capacity of cell attachment, migration and penetration into the pores of the nanocomposite. Thus, it can be concluded that both Collagen and Gelatin have been emerging as

Do you know how chocolate is made? You may have envisioned chocolate waterfalls and streams, with oompa-loompas making chocolate, and some nice man running it all, but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Michael Pollan in his novel “In Defense of Food” describes how the idea of healthy eating has shifted from focusing on wholesome foods to worrying about nutrients. In chapter one “From Foods to Nutrients,” Pollan outlines a makeshift history of the evolution of “nutrients.” Sometime in the 1980’s our view on health and food changed dramatically from previous generations.

While I think that most people have discredited the idea that body types can be directly associated with crime, I do think there are some trends that may be used to make connections, all while keeping in mind the idea that correlation does not equal causation. As far as determining my body type, due to the nature of the sport which I participate it makes this a fairly difficult question. I’m definitely not frail, but as a cyclist, I definitely have much more muscle mass in the lower body than the upper. I don’t really fit the description of an ectomorph, due to the lack of fragility, but I wouldn’t say that I’m a naturally muscular individual, so I’m not a mesomorph. I’m definitely not an endomorph as “soft and round” are two words that I would not use to describe myself.

An Argumentative Essay: For or against the consumption of Shark’s Fin Soup and why? Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and this stretch around mid-February always ignites a fresh wave of demand for an exotic delicacy, typically served during Chinese New Year Eve dinners – Shark’s Fin Soup. The dish should be boycotted for the cruelty that goes into the obtainment of the ingredients, our reluctance to save the sharks, our indifference towards the plight of the world’s oceans, concerns about the roots of a culture being tied to this dish and the health threats that the thick, cholesterol-laden soup presents all make it less than appealing, though most of the consumers are blind to such facts. It is, indeed, a pressing issue that had not been given much media coverage, and this delicacy should be boycotted for the reasons further elaborated upon below.

Throughout my research for my argumentative essay, I have come to a conclusion that labels on foods are confusing for most people, they are not clear enough and they make people second guess what they are buying. This problem has caused people to have real life issues and has caused this world to make some problems even bigger. I want these sources to help me argue that this is a big issue and that there is way to fix it. My research goals are to find sources that will provide the meaning of each words on the labels, discuss what problems these labels cause such as people to ruining their healthy lifestyle, causing people to have trouble finding out if they are allergic to the food, and causing people to waste more food. I also want to find

I. We consume 8,500mg of salt per day, almost all from processed food. This is only one of the many reasons people have poor nutrition.
