Notame in Bioconductor!
We are excited to announce that original notame has gone through a facelift, and notame, notameViz, and notameStats are now available as Bioconductor packages in the Bioconductor 3.22 release! About the packages A combination of these packages provides an efficient, more reproducible, and more compatible framework for metabolomics data. Altogether, and similarly to the original

The Future of Blood Testing with Microsampling
The most conventional and widely used blood sampling method for research purposes is venipuncture (usually from the main veins inside of the elbow). However, this approach may cause distress for the volunteers entering the various types of clinical trials. The sampling also requires professional nurses and often recurring visits to the research facilities for the

Deciphering how grain fermentation shapes the sensomics profile
Despite the assumption that fermented foods confer numerous health benefits including bioactive compounds synthesis and acute-chronic disease risk reduction, scientific evidence to confirm this conjecture, in terms of grain-based fermentations, is scarce. Further, there is a dearth in valorisation studies to create novel fermented products from the abundant yet underutilized European crops (i.e., wheat, oat,

Exploring the impact of protein-rich plant foods on the human gut
Diets rich in plants are known to have beneficial effects on both the environment and human health. Replacing animal proteins with plant proteins has been suggested to reduce the risk of many major chronic diseases, and whole plant-based ingredients possess high potential for desirable health effects. Yet, the healthiness of plant-based protein-rich products cannot be
