Cancer remains a global health challenge in need of precise, cost-effective, and scalable research tools for comprehensive investigations. Spheroid-based methodologies emerge as reliable, easily adaptable, and highly scalable techniques, offering an improved representation of in-vivo conditions compared to conventional 2D cell cultures. This study utilizes the Huh-7 cell line to generate hep…
As the human population grows, the demand for organoleptic properties in food has linearly increased, including the use of harmful synthetic colorant. Therefore, carotenoids, as a secondary metabolites and natural compounds, can be used as an alternative to natural food preservatives. They are also attributed to antioxidant properties which are beneficial for human consumption and health. T…
Obesity, a longstanding global food security issue, has increased in Indonesia since the COVID-19 pandemic due to higher consumption of high-fat, high-sugar foods and more sedentary activity during quarantine. Prevention of obesity can be achieved from the molecular phase through treatment with spice extract, like cinnamon, to mouse 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The bioactive compound present in ci…
The increasing global electricity consumption driven by population growth and industrial development necessitates the exploration of environmentally friendly renewable energy sources. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs), more specifically deep-sea sediment microbial fuel cells, have gained significant attention in the bioenergy industry as they can harness bacteria capability to generate electricit…
Cancer is one of the world's most serious health challenges. It was anticipated that more than 19 million recent cancer cases and about 10 million deaths worldwide were recorded in the year of 2020. There are various treatments available, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, however, those treatments have severe side effects because they do not precisely aim at the cancerous cell as it is al…
Probiotics are microorganisms that can confer health benefits when consumed in sufficient amounts. One of the examples of probiotics is Pediococcus acidilactici which has probiotic potential due to its characteristics, such as its ability to produce pediocin. Probiotics are usually subjected to various temperature stresses during their processing and storage, which may lead to undesirable…
