Have you ever heard of a strainer?🤔 Do you know how important it is in oral health research? Pablo Gresa, head of Stability in the Galenics area of the Dentaid Research Center, explains what working with microorganisms in the laboratory is like. How are they preserved? Can they be frozen? 👉Discover the answers with Pablo Cresa.

🍊 Got a gut feeling about fruit juice? 🧃 A daily glass of 100% fruit juice – especially its flavanones (a family of polyphenols) – can help maintain the right balance of different types of bacteria in the gut. 🦠 This supports overall health, according to emerging scientific evidence. 📊 Find out more in our summary! 📚 👉 https://lnkd.in/eM93FSbz

Introducing NO-MISS: An end-to-end method for rapid, comprehensive isolate sequencing. Flexible sample batching and cost efficiency make it ideal for detecting outbreaks, understanding microbial evolution, food safety, and clinical research. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4bIUj24

Excited to share our new paper published in Nutrients MDPI! 🎉 This study addresses the gap on safety and efficacy of Phe-free infant formula in Phenylketonuria. Children who discontinued the Phe-free infant formula after 2 years showed higher energy/fat intake, weight, and BMI z-scores. Key takeaway: Replace Phe-free formula mainly with a weaning protein substitute by 12 months, discontinue before 2 years. 📚 Read more: https://lnkd.in/d2-tYC_y

At the UNGA High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance tomorrow, this is one of the proposals on the agenda: "Invite the Quadripartite organizations to establish an independent panel for evidence for action against antimicrobial resistance in 2025 to facilitate the generation and use of multisectoral, scientific evidence to support Member States in efforts to tackle antimicrobial resistance, making use of existing resources and avoiding duplication of on-going efforts, after an open and transparent consultation with all Member States on its composition, mandate, scope, and deliverables." This idea was first put forward by myself and Jeremy Farrar just over 10 years ago. The original article still feels relevant, so I am posting it here: .

Hope you can join this robust conversation on moving from research to action! Check out the agenda and Chicago locale at www.foodmedicinesummit.com!

In today's rapidly evolving food industry, CPG companies face a critical challenge: staying ahead of agricultural and food technology trends reshaping the entire food supply chain, from farm to fork. Its essential to understand the potential of emerging ag- and food-tech categories to disrupt traditional business models. However, the expertise required to navigate this complex landscape of ag-food tech often lies beyond the scope of most CPG food companies. LEC's recent case study on alt-proteins is particularly smart and forward-thinking. They don't just look at direct competitors in the alternative protein space; they broaden their scope to include adjacent industries. And they look at the time and resources needed for those companies to scale in a meaningful way. A comprehensive view is crucial in an industry where innovation can come from unexpected places - one company's threat will surely be another company's opportunity! The methodology offers key lessons in what CPGs should loik ayt when assessing emerging tech: 🏁 Technology capability and viability 🚧 Barriers to entry 🏭 Production capacity ⏲ Potential timeline for cost parity 🏢 Regulatory barriers As we move forward, CPG food companies that want to thrive will need to either develop this expertise in-house or partner with firms that can provide these critical insights. The food industry is no longer just about branding, recipes and packaging - it's about understanding and leveraging cutting-edge technology to meet changing consumer demands and stay competitive. How is your organization staying ahead of these trends? #FoodIndustry #AgTech #FoodTech #CPG #Innovation

A wealth of knowledge exists about the nutritional components of food and the gut's fundamental roles in digestion and absorption. However, the mechanisms by which the gut detects harmful chemicals and how the immune and nervous systems collaborate to activate the body’s defenses remain largely unexplored. This unified food-gut-neuro-immune axis is the focus of FASI’s new SAFE Project. Join Ruslan Medzhitov, Ph.D., FASI’s Scientific Founder and Professor at Yale University School of Medicine, during our next seminar on September 17 to learn more about Project SAFE.
