Abstract

Cancers are serious diseases with various etiologies mainly due to unhealthy dietary habits and lifestyles. However, almost all drugs used for anti-cancer therapy are usually toxic and generally affect normal healthy cells, hence the search for new com-pounds that are effective, non-toxic and natural. In particular, algae contain many valuable components with great anti-cancer potential. Carrageenan is a general term describing a group of sulphated polysaccharides in red algae that present a major com-ponent of the cell wall and interstitial space functioning as a forming compound and providing intercellular adhesion and inter-cellular signalling. Carrageenan isolated from red algae has been the object of drug discovery over the past few decades as it exhibits anti-cancer capabilities.

Abstract

Growth is based on the concept of increasing the size and number of cells, development refers to the psychological condition and behavior of a person. The main stage of the process of growth and development in the formation of the human body is the formation of the craniofacial, which will then form the embryology of the oral cavity. The development and growth of the oral ca-vity occurs prenatally and postnatally starting from the fourth day which will continue into adulthood and experience negative growth during aging. Every human being goes through a period of prenatal growth. There are three periods in prenatal growth, namely preimplantation, embryonic and fetal. The three periods are sequential and continuous in forming the fetus. In general, humans have a pattern of growth and development which is the result of the interaction of many factors that affect growth and development. Anything can happen prenatally and postnatally, so attention and knowledge about embryology and develop-ment of the maxilla and mandible are needed.

Abstract

Bivalves are natural resources that play a role in Indonesian waters with very strategic geographical conditions, because flank-ed by two oceans and continents so that the exchange of water masses occurs; groups that are often found in Indonesian waters. Shellfish or bivalves are soft-bodied aquatic animals (mollusks). In general, bivalves habitat is found in coastal and brackish waters which have muddy sand to a depth of 4-6 m with relatively calm water conditions. Shellfish can live in an epifaunal way or infaunally for a long period of time. The use offsea shells in dentistry has found that polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bio-composite can be strengthened with shellfish nano powder with better properties.
