Chondroitin Sulfate (CS) is the main constituent of Blue-spotted Stingray which shows promising in vitro anticancer activities in cancer cell lines. However, the effects of CS on human breast cancer and cervical cancer cell lines remain to be explored. Here we report that CS induced different degree of cytotoxicity in two human cancer cell lines, c

The study aims to assess the structural and functional properties of in vitro three-dimensional (3D) PLGA-based hybrid scaffolds seeded with chondrocytes, particularly in terms of the production of specific cartilaginous extracellular matrix (ECM). The PLGA scaffolds were incorporated with atelocollagen and/or fresh fibrin and assigned to four grou

This research addresses floods and how they affect the rules of worship (Ibadah) such as cleansing of oneself (Taharah), prayer (Salah), fasting (Sawm), alms (Zakah) and pilgrimage (Hajj). As much as the rules of Shariah relate to the acts of Mukallafin (who are legally competent to be responsible for religious duty), the effect of this kind of dis

Train overcrowding has been associated with psychological stress, adverse health effects, negative behavioural reactions, and spillover effects. However, there is little agreement on the appropriate demand management strategies to deal with the increasing passenger numbers, especially on rail services in Malaysia. To begin addressing this issue, a

The proliferation of smartphone into daily life could potentially become an effective medium for the delivery of workplace-based physical activity intervention. Based on Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model (UTAUT), this study investigates factors influencing office workers’ intention to use smartphone application to enhance t

The efficiency and relevancy of the tort system in offering adequate redress for victims of medical injuries has become a global concern. The tort system’s emphasis on fault, personal blame and individual responsibility has not been successful in functioning as a mechanism that is able to enhance patient safety as a whole, as it triggers negative

Electrical cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) is a powerful technique to monitor real-time cell behavior. In this study, an ECIS biosensor formed using two interdigitated electrode structures (IDEs) was used to monitor cell behavior and its response to toxicants. Three different sensors with varied electrode spacing were first modeled using CO

G.H.A Juynboll is considered as one of the prominent western thinkers and scholars in contemporary Orientalists world. He has produced a numerous intellectual sources comprehensively. This paper aims to analyze G.H.A Juynboll’s views in dealing with prophetic tradition. This was investigated from his thoughtful and broad understanding of its prin
