Gynura procumbensin vitro adventitious root nanohydrogel improves inflammation-proliferation transition in second-degree burn healing.

Inflammation-proliferation transition plays a key role in the successful healing of a common burn type, second-degree burn. Gynura procumbens in vitro adventitious root nanohydrogel is currently being studied for its immunomodulatory to improve reparative environment. Root production and nanohydrogel preparation was done respectively by in vitro propagation and emulsion/ solvent diffusion with carbomer as a polymer.

Effect of light and cytokinin on growth and curculin gene expression of Curculigo latifolia on in vitro culture.

Despite being valuable for producing a natural sweetener Curculin, Curculigo latifolia has a low growth and difficult to domestificate. So, to solve this problem, propagation on in vitro culture will be an alternative method to propagated this spesies under different cytokinins and light condition. Cytokinins and light has major role in organogenesis, growth and gene expression of many species.

Tropical Medicinal Plant Extracts from Indonesia as Antifungal Agents against .

Background: is responsible for a wide range of medical ailments, from harmless cutaneous to life-threatening bloodstream infections. Growing cases of antifungal-drug resistance strains of become a rationale to explore and develop novel anti-candida agents. In this paper, we assessed the anti-candida activity of the methanolic extracts of various tropical medicinal plants from Myrtaceae, Poaceae, and Zingiberaceae, commonly used in Indonesia to treat fungal infections.

Anticancer potential of β-sitosterol and oleanolic acid as through inhibition of human estrogenic 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type-1 based on an approach.

The human estrogenic enzyme 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type-1 (HSD17B1) provides biosynthesis regulation of active estrogen in stimulating the development of breast cancer through cell proliferation. The β-sitosterol is classified as a steroid compound and is actually a type of triterpenoid compound that has a similar structure to a steroid. This similarity provides a great opportunity for the inhibitor candidate to bind to the HDS17B1 enzyme because of the template similarity on the active site.
