Background: The complex nature of musculoskeletal diseases and the limitations of existing treatments have driven researchers to explore innovative solutions, particularly those involving stem cells and their derivatives. The utilization of the IPFP as a source of MSC-derived non-cellular products for the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases has gained recognition in recent years. This study aimed to identify the progress of IPFP-derived acellular biologics use in the treatment of orthopedic conditions such as osteoarthritis and ligament and/or tendon injuries.

Background And Aim: The production of lignocellulosic biomass waste in the agricultural sector of Indonesia is quite high annually. Utilization of lignocellulosic biomass waste through fermentation technology can be used as feed and biofuel. Fermentation technology requires the involvement of micro-organisms such as bacteria (lactic acid bacteria or LAB).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates Newcastle disease virus (NDV) strains in commercial and native chickens to understand their genetic characteristics and distribution in chicken embryonic tissues.
  • - Results reveal that virulent (velogenic) NDV strains belong to genotype VII.2, while mild (lentogenic) strains fall into genotypes II and I, with significant amino acid changes noted in their genes.
  • - The research concludes that NDV affects various organs, particularly the digestive and respiratory systems, but lentogenic strains cause less damage than velogenic ones, suggesting a need for more studies on NDV's effects in chickens.

Background: Human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) is the most prevalent etiology of cervical cancer in Indonesian women. The L2 minor capsid protein has considerable potential as a broad-protective antigen target of the cervical cancer vaccine strategies, yet the data on L2 gene variation is still minimal. In this research, we determined the variations of the HPV16 L2 gene sequences in Indonesian cervical cancer specimens.
