Well the semester is coming to an end and I am not ready stop! This semester has been amazing. I learned so much working on this project. Although my final paper has been turned in I still have a few more tests that I would like to complete before this semester finally ends. I know know that proteins can be extracted from tissue samples, and that antibodies can be extracted from these proteins. I know that sheep brains can contain the beta amyloid proteins that are responsible for Alzheimers Disease (AD). Today I found a study that was performed at a university in Japan that was super empowering. They successfully measured the Beta amyloid proteins from individuals receiving treatment for AD. Now, all that is required is to put this all together and continue to work on my technique. Hopefully next semester will yield a tangible test that can be used in everyday application. However, my secondary hypothesis has proven to most challenging (Is it possible to consume an entire bag of tasty oh's in a semester?)
