Exploring the relationship between cooking and scientific discovery

Penn physicist Arnold Mathijssen and colleagues have authored a review article discussing the history of food innovations and the current scientific breakthroughs that are changing the way we eat.
A plant-based, oral delivery of insulin regulates blood sugar levels similar to natural insulin
Two trays, one with four filled capsules, the other with green powder that will fill empty capsule shells.

With Daniell’s plant-based drug production and delivery platform, plant tissue is bombarded with biomedically important proteins, such as insulin, prompting the plant chloroplasts to take up the genes and express that protein. Harvested leaves can be freeze-dried and encapsulated, providing an affordable, shelf-stable means of delivery.
