Biosensors are devices that detect and report the presence or quantity of a particular analyte. Among the biosensor components, a physicochemical transducer measures physical and chemical changes from analyte recognition interactions where products, by-products, intermediates, or physical changes are converted into a measurable signal. The characte

thnopharmacological relevance: Marantodes pumilum (Blume) Kuntze has traditionally been used to firm the uterus after delivery, however scientific evidences behind this claim is still lacking. Aims of study: To demonstrate Marantodes pumilum leaves aqueous extract (MPE) has an effect on uterine contraction after delivery and to elucidate the molecu

NTRODUCTION: Melioidosis is endemic in Malaysia and an important cause of sepsis. Current gold standard for diagnosis is by culture method,but its long procedure will delay the treatment leading to hospital-related mortality.Thus,a good rapid test is needed to reduce its mortality burden. Recently, Active Melioidosis Detect (AMD)have been shown to

SporeSat is an autonomous, free-flying spacecraft that was used to conduct a scientific experiment to investigate how germinating plant cells sense and respond to gravity. The plants used in the experiment are single-celled spores of the aquatic fern Ceratopteris richardii. The SporeSat mission was flown using a three-unit (3U) nanosatellite weighi

Electropolymerized conductive polymer (PEDOT:PSS) onto screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) and screen-printed platinum electrodes (SPPEs) were studied for anodic/cathodic peak current and charge/discharge stability. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) for PEDOT:PSS/SPCEs and PEDOT:PSS/SPPEs in potassium ferricyanide K3[Fe(CN)₆] was conducted to determin

Introduction: Monosodium methylarsonate (MSMA) is an organic arsenic widely used in agriculture. Humans are exposed to arsenic through drinking water and anthropogenic activities. Chronic exposure to inorganic arsenic has been linked with multiple health problems. However, studies focusing on organic arsenic effects on kidneys were limited. Objecti

Introduction: Monosodium methylarsonate (MSMA) is an organic arsenical pesticide widely used in agriculture. Humans are exposed to arsenic through drinking water and anthropogenic activities. Exposure to inorganic arsenic has been linked with multiple health problems. However, studies focusing on chronic organic arsenic exposure and its adverse eff

Shelf life is a key quality trait related to alterations in cuticle properties and remodeling of the fruit cell walls. Studies with tr

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a globally important crop with an economic value in the tens of billions of dollars, and a significant supplier of essential vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals in the human diet. Shelf life is a key quality trait related to alterations in cuticle properties and remodelling of the fruit cell walls. Studies with tr
