Medicinal plants (MPs) are widely used for their biological activities attributed to secondary metabolites. However, many lack a comprehensive regulatory framework, raising safety concerns. While citrus fruits like lemons (Citrus limon) and mandarin oranges (Citrus nobilis) are popular MPs established as non-carcinogenic and non-mutagenic, there is a notable knowledge gap regarding the pote…
This book captivates student interest, opening minds to the wonder of developmental biology, whilst covering required material with scientific rigour. The tenth edition reflects the exciting new age of genomics, genetic regulatory networks and digital visualization techniques while keeping focus on the major questions of animal development.
With the rising popularity, herbal medicine has increasing consumption with a minimum 80% worldwide population or use it as their primary medicine depending on their culture and location. The usage of herbal medicine during pregnancy in Indonesia was reported to be 60% in 2020 due to an attempt to alleviate common side effects of pregnancy. However, herbal medicine has not been regulated en…
Serotonin (5-HT) neurons are currently of research interest since these neurons have a crucial role in regulating human homeostasis and psychological states. These neurons are generated from the hindbrain raphe nuclei and are classified into rostral (r1-r3) and caudal (r5-r8) groups. While rostral groups have been successfully developed, only a few functional caudal 5-HT neurons are available i…

Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is a technique employed in an In Vitro Fertilization procedure to detect any genetic defect in the embryo prior to implantation. Aneuploidy is one of the conditions screened during PGT to ensure every chromosome in the embryo has the right copy number. There are several procedures to perform aneuploid detection but the use of Next-Generation Sequencing allo…
This 4th edition of the "Mouse Manual"-Manipulating the Mouse Embryo-appears 28 years after the first edition and once again is the definitive reference source on mouse development, transgenesis techniques, and molecular biology. While many of the techniques described in earlier editions of this manual have been relegated to core facilities, advances in DNA sequencing techniques and genome anal…
