Gas-Trapping Foams Inspired by Molecular Gastronomy Deliver Therapeutic Carbon Monoxide - Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News

Studies in animal models suggest foams that incorporate small amounts of CO could be delivered to the gastrointestinal tract to combat colitis and other conditions.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is best known as a potentially deadly gas, but it also has immunomodulatory effects, and in small doses can reduce inflammation and help to stimulate tissue regeneration. A team … [+10887 chars]
