Article Synopsis
- Edible bird's nest (EBN) is a sought-after delicacy in the Asia-Pacific, especially from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, and carries potential medicinal value in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
- This research focuses on evaluating different methods for extracting EBN DNA in Thailand, highlighting the guanidinium isothiocyanate method as the most effective for analyzing specific gene sequences.
- The study also developed a quick identification method using amplification-refractory mutation system PCR (ARMS-PCR), successfully distinguishing between different EBN species based on their genetic profiles.
Acute liver failure (ALF) is a serious life-threatening condition. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may be an effective treatment for this condition and a good alternative to liver transplantation. Icaritin (ICT) is an active ingredient of the genus , a traditional Chinese medicine, with the potential to enhance the proliferation of MSCs.

Article Synopsis
- DNA mismatch repair is believed to significantly influence the progression and outcomes of colorectal cancer, but its exact prognostic value remains unclear.
- A systematic review of 21 studies assessed the relationship between mismatch repair deficiency and patient survival, finding that those with such deficiencies had lower overall and disease-free survival rates.
- The analysis revealed that mismatch repair deficiency correlates with better prognosis in both Asian and Western populations, suggesting its potential as a valuable prognostic marker in colorectal cancer patients.
