For a restaurant manager every decision is a "bake versus buy" calculation. The goal is to maximize quality while minimizing cost and complexity. On paper making sourdough in-house seems like a way to save money. The raw ingredients are cheap: flour water and salt. This is the first and most dangerous mistake in the calculation. As suppliers like NOVAKS BAKERY know the true cost of an in-house sourdough program is not in the ingredients. It is in the hidden variables of labor skill time and waste. The data shows that for almost every restaurant sourcing sourdough is the only logical choice.

The human gut microbiome is an intricate ecosystem that plays a central role in digestion, immunity, and inflammation control. Among the numerous microbial species, butyrate-producing bacteria stand out for their profound influence on intestinal health. Butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid derived from microbial fermentation of dietary fiber, serves as the main energy source for colon cells while exerting broad anti-inflammatory and epithelial-protective effects.

The rapid expansion of biologics has transformed the pharmaceutical landscape. However, taking a promising molecule from discovery to commercial production is no small feat. It demands seamless integration of development, manufacturing, quality, and regulatory expertise — a challenge that modern contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) are uniquely positioned to solve.

Store management games might conjure images of spreadsheets, profit margins, and customer service seminars. While those elements can certainly be present, some of the most engaging games in this genre wrap these concepts in layers of suspense, strategy, and downright terror. A prime example? The iconic Five Nights At Freddy's. But how can you best approach these games to maximize the fun (and minimize the jump scares)? Let’s dive in!

Traditional cancer therapies—chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted drugs—share a common goal: to destroy tumor cells from the outside. Yet despite decades of progress, solid tumors like pancreatic, colorectal, and prostate cancers often evolve resistance, making treatment outcomes unpredictable. In recent years, a bold concept has emerged: instead of attacking cancer externally, what if we reprogram the cells themselves to self-destruct?
