Articular cartilage is well known for its simple uniqueness of avascular and aneural structure that has limited capacity to heal itself when injured. The use of three dimensional construct in tissue engineering holds great potential in regenerating cartilage defects. This study evaluated the in vitro cartilaginous tissue formation using rabbit'

The Malaysian Competition Act 2010 (the CA 2010) seeks to promote the process of competition in the market by preventing anti-competitive conduct that harms to competition. However, what harms to competition is not clearly spelt out in the Act neither in its subsequent guidelines. Without a proper application of the theory of harm, the competition

The main objective of competition law is to promote the process of competition and to ensure that market functions efficiently. However, competition does not always seem to work well in the financial system. This paper attempts to explore issues that may arise from the application of competition law in the Malaysian financial sector focusing on var

The global trend of the world of work is shaped by disruptive technologies such as advanced robotics, the Internet of Things, and the automation of knowledge work. HE is to prepare talents to function well in the society that is very much influenced by the global trends. This presentation discusses the objectives of HE, the key learning areas, the

Articular cartilage has poor repair capacity due to its avascular and aneural properties and has relatively few cells. This study investigated the ability of autologous implantation approach using three dimensional (3D) constructs engineered from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) seeded on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) with or witho

Objective: Aim of the present study is to optimize the development of the mouse embryo with addition of different concentrations of Nigella sativa extract in the culture. Methods: In this study, three different concentrations of Nigella sativa supplementation were used to assist in the enhancement of embryo development. G-1 media was used as a cont

Damage and degeneration of articular cartilage is a major health predicament. Articular cartilage has poor repair capacity due to its avascular and aneural properties, low metabolic rate and has relatively few cells. Left untreated, it may cause serious disability and loss of function. Therefore, the field of cartilage tissue engineering which aims

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotyping is very important for the clinical management of HCV-infected patients. HCV strains demonstrate a high degree of genetic heterogeneity. The 5’ un-translated region (5’UTR) of HCV is the most highly conserved region of the virus genome, making this region ideal target for HCV RNA amplification-based detection a

Abundance in aluminum scrap metals can cause problem such as limited space allocation and pollution. The solution to solve these problems were by recycling the aluminum scrap metal as secondary production of aluminum. Among the recycling process alternative is smelting, However, the process consumes high energy with low productivity. This study foc

The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the commonest method used to quantify renal function. Chromium-51-Ethylenediaminetetraaceticacid (51Cr-EDTA) plasma clearance has been accepted as a gold standard method in measuring GFR. Several methods have been proposed in which the glomerular filtration rate is estimated from using only one or two blood s
