Understanding, evaluating, and demonstrating the mechanism of action of functional ingredients is essential for companies in the sector. Society increasingly turns to these compounds to complement nutrition, but their inclusion in a formulation is not enough. It is crucial to justify their use with scientific criteria: they must be selected rigorously and supported by solid…

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…

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…

Cell culture represents a key tool in modern scientific research. Over the past decades, scientists have developed advanced cell culture techniques to isolate individual cells from tissues and obtain homogeneous cell populations that can be maintained, manipulated, and multiplied in vitro. The 4 types of cell culture: definition, differences, and application examples Understanding the different…

In the field of scientific research, whether in biotechnology, health, food or cosmetics, it is essential to understand the different experimental approaches available to study the behaviour of compounds, ingredients, or products. Among these, in vitro or in vivo tests are two key methodologies, each with specific characteristics, applications, and advantages. In vivo experiments: Definition…

Although often overlooked, the role of the oral cavity in the digestive system is fundamental. It is not only the first point of contact between the body and food, but also the site where the initial physical, chemical, and sensory mechanisms are activated. From chewing to saliva secretion and oral microbiome activity, the mouth initiates…

Animal digestive health and animal nutrition are essential to ensure health and productivity in any production system, as they help prevent disease and improve product quality. For this reason, it is crucial to scientifically validate the effect of an ingredient on animals’ digestive system. It’s not enough to include novel ingredients, it’s necessary to understand…
