Dairy Fermentation Process: Technologies and Strategies to Develop High-Quality Alternatives

Dairy alternatives face a demanding market: they must deliver taste, creaminess, functionality, and a solid nutritional and sustainability profile—while remaining affordable. The cornerstone for creating high-quality dairy analogues is the dairy fermentation process. Fermentation can be used not only to develop the final product, but also to obtain or enhance ingredients that elevate the quality…

What are scaffolds in tissue engineering?

What if we could rebuild human tissues as if we were reconstructing a building? That’s precisely the concept behind tissue engineering, a rapidly evolving field that combines cell biology, materials science, and bioengineering to regenerate or replace damaged tissues.  At the core of this discipline are the scaffolds. In this article, we explain what they…

Organs-on a chip technology

Did you know we can study human organs inside microchips? This innovative field, known as organ-on a chip technology, is transforming how we investigate the human body’s response to chemicals, food ingredients, drugs and cosmetics. These microfluidic devices—about the size of a USB stick—realistically simulate the physiological functions of human organs (intestine, liver, skin) using…
