Background: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive brain tumor that primarily affects adults. The Stupp Protocol, which includes surgical resection, chemoradiation, and monotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ), is the standard treatment regimen for GBM. However, repeated use of TMZ leads to resistance in GBM cells, resulting in a poor prognosis for patients.

Methods: In this research, we used several chemical reactions to synthesize novel compounds, such as Esterification, Demethylation, Halohydrin, and Sharpless reaction. Cytotoxicity assays were performed to test the inhibitory activity of compounds against HT29 colon cancer cells.
is a non-albicans species with a high prevalence, which causes candidaemia. Current treatment guidelines include fluconazole as a primary therapeutic option for the treatment of these infections; however, it is only a fungistatic against ., and both inherent and acquired resistance to fluconazole have been reported.

By targeting the tumor antigen, cancer vaccines can be designed to train the immune system to recognize tumor cells. Therefore, along with technological advances, the vaccine design process is now starting to be carried out with more rational methods such as designing epitope-based peptide vaccines using immunoinformatics methods.

Different ethnic populations need respective studies on cancer risks pertinent to germline variants. We aimed to discover the pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants (P/LP-Vs) of germline breast cancer susceptibility genes and to evaluate their correlation with the clinical characteristics in Jakarta populations.

This phenomenon motivates researchers to find alternative drugs that function for prevention or treatment. Due to the rich biodiversity of Indonesian medicinal plants, one alternative is to examine the potential of herbal medicines to support COVID therapy.

Uric acid, which is also considered a danger associated molecule pattern (DAMP), could trigger a series of inflammatory responses by activating the inflammasome complex path and NF-B within the endothelial cells and by inducing proinflammatory cytokine release. Concurrently, XO also converts the superoxide radicals into hydroxyl radicals that further induce inflammatory responses.

Some breast cancer patients are genetically predisposed to genes involved in genomic stability. We report the targeted genome sequencing data of 24 young women (aged below 45 years) breast cancer patients admitted to Cipto Mangunkusumo National Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia.
