About the ESTIV Congresses
The European Society of Toxicology In Vitro (ESTIV) is organized every two years. The ESTIV2022 congress aims to create a forum of scientists in a unique atmosphere for discussions and the exchange of knowledge. Its objective is also to promote contact between junior and senior researchers, students and toxicologists from European companies, governments and universities involved in the development and use of in vitro and in silico approaches. The congress is expected to include 500+ attendees and 30+ exhibitors.

For more details and registration, please visit the event's website.

Structure and function of non-digestible carbohydrates in the gut microbiome

Together with proteins and fats, carbohydrates are one of the macronutrients in the human diet. Digestible carbohydrates, such as starch, starch-based products, sucrose, lactose, glucose and some sugar alcohols and unusual (and fairly rare) α-linked glucans, directly provide us with energy while other carbohydrates including high molecular weight polysaccharides, mainly from plant cell walls, provide us with dietary fibre. Carbohydrates which are efficiently digested in the small intestine are not available in appreciable quantities to act as substrates for gut bacteria. Some oligo- and polysaccharides, many of which are also dietary fibres, are resistant to digestion in the small intestines and enter the colon where they provide substrates for the complex bacterial ecosystem that resides there.

This session focused on what we know and what we need to know about the structure-function relationship in dietary carbohydrates. Of particular focus was the systematic effects of prebiotics, modelling prebiotic activity, as well as enabling technologies for future prebiotics.

El agua es la fuente de la vida, la sustancia que hace posible la supervivencia y el desarrollo de todos los seres vivos, incluida la especie humana. Un apunte que resulta evidente, pero nada desdeñable teniendo en cuenta el ritmo al que ha crecido la población en las últimas décadas, pasando de los 1.500 millones a los más de 7.700 millones de personas en apenas un siglo. Con el agua ha sucedido lo mismo. La extracción de agua dulce se ha multiplicado por seis desde principios del siglo XX, por lo que cabe preguntarnos si realmente utilizamos de manera sostenible el agua de la que disponemos. https://www.sostenibilidad.com/agua/importancia-hacer-uso-sostenible-agua/?_adin=11551547647

Más del 80% de las aguas residuales resultantes de actividades humanas se vierten en los ríos o el mar sin ningún tratamiento, lo que provoca su contaminación. Aproximadamente el 70% de todas las aguas extraídas de los ríos, lagos y acuíferos se utilizan para el riego. https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/es/water-and-sanitation/
