Over the years, people have started to understand the need for science to get materials to learn and progress. Materials include not only medical tools, but also biological ones.

Many people still

The microbiota is the set of microbial organisms in a community, generally used in reference to an animal host. The digestive microbiota is the most common.

To fully understand Click Chemistry and its contributions to biotechnologies and life sciences, it is crucial to comprehend the various actors who take part in this complex mix and how they interact.

Most cells are cultured in two dimensions: height and length (think about a Petri dish for instance). However, for several decades (since the 1970s), researchers have been able to grow cells in three dimensions.

If you search on the internet the words “biological markers” or “biomarkers”, numerous results appear on your screen. These biomarkers, used in various fields including ecology, eco-toxicology and medical

Amino acids play a crucial role in the structure, metabolism, and physiology of cells in all known living things, as constituents of peptides and proteins.

As such, they constitute the bulk of the

ADME is an abbreviation in pharmacokinetics (a branch of pharmacology that studies how substances act and remain in organisms) for “Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion”.

The enzymes are biomolecules, in other words molecules synthesised by living beings. Digestive enzymes are synthesised by the liver and pancreas but they are also provided by food. The other enzymes are

There are several thousand types of different molecules in each cell (with some exceptions). These molecules are constantly changing and renewing themselves. Most of these molecules have a complex chemical
