COVID-19 remains an unresolved puzzle for biomedical researchers in different fields. Various treatments, drugs, and interventions were explored as treatments for COVID. Nevertheless, there are no standard and effective therapeutic measures. Meanwhile, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy offers a new approach with minimal side effects. MSCs and MSC-based products possess several biological properties that potentially […]

Microbes in marine ecosystems are known to produce secondary metabolites. One of which are carotenoids, which have numerous industrial applications, hence their demand will continue to grow. Prof. Dr. Fenny Martha Dwivany and her colleagues review the recent research on natural carotenoids produced by marine microorganisms. They discuss the most recent screening approaches for discovering […]

Microfungi have been explored further as supplement constituents in shrimp culture due to their nutrient richness. Dr. Magdalena L. Situmorang and her colleagues have evaluated the effects of Mucor circinelloides and Trichoderma harzianum as feed supplements on growth performance, bacterial communities, and the biomass nutritional profile of white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei). The results showed that […]

Prof. Dr. Agus Dana Permana and his colleagues evaluated the effect of soil depth on survival, normality dan development time of adult interspecific hybrids of Bactrocera carambolae and B. dorsalis. Soil depth had a significant, negative effect on the survival of the emergence and development time of B. dorsalis and B. carambolae hybrids. The emergence […]

Information on the insecticide resistance profiles of Aedes aegypti in Indonesia is fragmentary because of the lack of wide-area insecticide resistance surveillance. Prof. Intan Ahmad, Ph.D. and his colleagues collected Ae. aegypti from 27 Indonesian provinces and used WHO bioassays to evaluate their resistance to deltamethrin, permethrin, bendiocarb, and pirimiphos-methyl. The Ae. aegypti from all […]

The study of banana herbs and fruits is rarely conducted using multidisciplinary approaches. However, a multidisciplinary approach could be useful for gaining information on many aspects, including remote sensing, biodiversity and biogeography, owing to the uniqueness of bananas. Prof. Dr. Fenny Martha Dwivany and her colleagues review a study on banana herbs from an Indonesian […]

Non-destructive X-ray microtomography is a promising visualization method for reviewing the distribution of low-molecule phenol (LMP) along with copper naphthenate in plywood. Eka Mulya Alamsyah Ph.D. and his colleagues aimed to determine the applicability of X-ray microtomography for observing the distribution of LMP and Cu in two-and three-dimensional visualizations. The distribution mechanisms of these materials […]

Walls, as components of the lateral-force‐resisting system of a building, are defined as shear walls. Dr. Rudi Dungani and his colleagues determine the behavior of shear wall panel cross-laminated-timber-based mangium wood (CLT-mangium) in earthquake-resistant prefabricated houses. The earthquake performance of CLT mangium frame shear walls panels has been studied using monotonic tests. The shear walls were constructed […]

The sequential labeling model is commonly used for time series or sequence data where each instance label is classified using the previous instance label. In this study, Dr. Adi Pancoro and his colleagues propose a new approach to detect type and index mutation namely join classifier using a sequential labeling model from lung cancer study […]

Cartilage has a low regenerative capacity that makes the treatment of cartilage damage challenging. Stem cell therapy can be the solution to that. Stem cell is known for its advantages in cell-based therapies. Recent studies have attributed the value of stem cells to their paracrine factors via extracellular vesicles (EVs) such as exosomes. Exosomes that […]
