Tapping to the promising roles of plant secreted small RNAs and responses towards extracellular DNA

Tapping to the promising roles of plant secreted small RNAs and responses towards extracellular DNA

Once thought to only play a role in the process of endogenous molecular signaling, plant small-RNAs are now gaining popularity as an agent in cross-kingdom communication. Similarly, the role of self-DNA in extracellular signaling is getting more attention to control growth of the its producing cells. In this article, Dr. Karlia Meitha and colleagues propose […]

Nocturnal Blue Light Exposure Increase Alpha and Beta Brain Waves as Cognition Function for Two Consecutive Night Driving in a Car Simulator

Nocturnal Blue Light Exposure Increase Alpha and Beta Brain Waves as Cognition Function for Two Consecutive Night Driving in a Car Simulator

Driving is a complex activity that engage complex motor, sensor, and cognitive function which can be analyzed through brain wave using electroencephalograph (EEG). Decrease of cognitive function while driving in long period at night linked with drowsiness and exposure of blue light to driver in night-driving could improve cognitive function. In this article, Dr. Lulu […]

Gall rust Sengon and endophytic fungi and The growth curve of endophytic fungi from gall rust F. moluccana

Gall rust Sengon and endophytic fungi and The growth curve of endophytic fungi from gall rust F. moluccana

Endophytic fungal culture extracted from gall rust of sengon (Falcataria moluccana Miq. Barneby and J. W. Grimes) has the ability on inhibiting Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. In this research, Dr. Alfi Rumidatul and colleagues reported the method to increase the production of bioactive compounds of endophytic fungi isolated from gall rust sengon […]

Effect of Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) Essential Oil on Biofilm-biocorrossion in Formation Water Environment

Effect of Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) Essential Oil on Biofilm-biocorrossion in Formation Water Environment

Microbial accumulation in oil industry’s pipeline system would eventually leads to biofilm formation, which could initiate biocorrosion. Biofilm-biocorrosion caused great loss in industry and is essential to be included in mitigation program. Dr. Intan Taufik and colleagues investigated the effect of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) essential oil in emulsion and microemulsion form against biofilm in formation […]

The possible use of surian tree (Toona sinensis Roem) branches as an alternative raw material in the production of composite boards

The possible use of surian tree (Toona sinensis Roem) branches as an alternative raw material in the production of composite boards

[:id] Utilization of fast growing wood from the plantation forest, leaving various problems in the efficiency of raw materials, especially branches and twigs. Currently, the problem of wood waste is starting to get greater attention from timber entrepreneurs. In this study, Eka Mulya Alamsyah, Ph.D. and colleagues focuses on the utilization of branches and twigs […]

Anti-inflammatory Activity of Indonesian Propolis in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Larvae

Anti-inflammatory Activity of Indonesian Propolis in Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Larvae

Propolis is a resinous mixture of plant-derived material collected by honey bees and has been widely used as traditional medicine. In this article, Dr. Indra Wibowo and colleagues investigated anti-inflammatory activity of Indonesian Propolis using Zebra Fish (Danio rerio) as animal model. It was shown that Indonesian propolis administration to zebrafish larvae resulted in reduced […]

Sustainability Analysis of Dairy-Horticulture Integrated Farming System

Sustainability Analysis of Dairy-Horticulture Integrated Farming System

Integrated farming system offers better opportunities to be implemented in smallholder agriculture because it ensures productivity and profitability for sustainable livelihoods. However, the evaluation of this practice has not been clearly identified. Dr. Mia Rosmiati and colleagues evaluated the ecological, economic, social, institutional, and technological aspects of sustainability on existing dairy-horticulture farming systems at local […]

Poly‐β‐Hydroxybutyrate (PHB) Improves Nursery‐Phase Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei Defense against Vibriosis

Poly‐β‐Hydroxybutyrate (PHB) Improves Nursery‐Phase Pacific White Shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei Defense against Vibriosis

Luminous vibriosis outbreaks are one of the major constraints that cause large economic losses in the culture of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. Several studies have confirmed the protective effect of PHB against a variety of bacterial diseases in farmed aquatic animals. In this study, Dr. Magdalena L. Situmorang and colleagues investigated the effect of […]

The Study of Free and Exosomal RBP4 in Blood Plasma and Urine of Patients

The Study of Free and Exosomal RBP4 in Blood Plasma and Urine of Patients

Diabetes is the most prevalent chronic disease worldwide. In type 2 diabetes, target tissues decrease their sensitivity to insulin. In prediabetes and diabetes patients, the retinol-binding protein (RBP4) concentration is high in the blood plasma. Dr. Marselina Irasonia Tan and her team observed free RBP4 and exosomal RBP4 in the blood plasma as well as […]
