Abstract

Indonesia is a country that is prone to geological disasters due to volcanic eruptions, ground movements, earthquakes and tsunamis, due to its location at the meeting point of three active tectonic plates: the Eurasian, Pacific and Indo-Australian plates. Geophysical research is important in understanding this phenomenon by utilizing physical parameters to study the earth beneath the surface. Gravity methods show potential in providing detailed images of geological structures and rock density contrasts, especially in geothermal investigations. Mount Kelud, as one of the active volcanoes in Indonesia, is the focus of this research. By using a geophysical method approach, this research aims to analyze the gravity anomalies around Mount Kelud. It is hoped that this study will provide a deeper understanding of the gravitational anomaly phenomenon in the region, which can be useful in future disaster mitigation and management efforts.

Abstract

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by cognitive decline and memory loss, primarily caused by the aggregation of amyloid-beta and tau proteins in the brain. Conventional treatments offer limited benefits, emphasizing the need for new therapeutic strategies. To design and evaluate short peptides as targeted protein inhibitors to prevent the aggregation of amyloid-beta and tau proteins, aiming to halt or reverse the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The study employed computational modeling to design peptides, followed by in vitro assays for initial screening, and in vivo tests using transgenic mouse models to assess therapeutic efficacy and safety. Techniques included mass spectrometry, HPLC, and behavioral tests for cognitive function. Designed peptides demonstrated high binding affinity and specificity for amyloid-beta and tau proteins, reducing aggregation by 70% in vitro. In vivo studies showed significant reductions in amyloid plaques and tau tangles, with improved cognitive performance in treated mice. Peptides effectively crossed the blood-brain barrier and accumulated in target brain regions. The findings support the potential of short peptides as a novel therapeutic approach for Alzheimer's disease, warranting further research and clinical trials to validate their efficacy and safety in human subjects.

Abstract

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have emerged as promising materials for biomedical applications, particularly as contrast agents in tumor imaging. Early and accurate tumor detection is critical for improving treatment outcomes, yet current imaging techniques often lack sensitivity and specificity. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize magnetic nanoparticles for their potential as contrast agents in tumor imaging. The nanoparticles were synthesized using a co-precipitation method, followed by surface modification with organic compounds to enhance stability and targeting specificity. Characterization included transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Cytotoxicity and targeting efficiency were evaluated in vitro using cultured human tumor cells. The results demonstrated that the synthesized nanoparticles had an average size of 25 ± 5 nm, superparamagnetic properties with a saturation magnetization of 55 emu/g, and high colloidal stability due to surface modifications. Fluorescence imaging revealed significant accumulation of the nanoparticles in tumor cells, while cytotoxicity tests showed cell viability above 85% at concentrations up to 100 ?g/mL. These findings indicate the nanoparticles are safe and effective for tumor imaging. This study highlights the importance of integrating synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation to optimize nanoparticle design for biomedical applications. While the results are promising, further in vivo studies are needed to evaluate nanoparticle distribution, accumulation, and clearance in complex biological systems. The findings provide a foundation for future research and development of advanced contrast agents for tumor imaging

Abstract

Agricultural waste has great potential to be used as biomaterial raw materials that can be used in medical applications, especially for bone tissue regeneration. Nanocellulose, which is produced from natural cellulose, offers good mechanical properties and high biocompatibility. This research aims to develop nanocellulose-based biomaterials from agricultural waste for bone regeneration applications. The purpose of this study is to explore the potential of agricultural waste, such as rice straw, peanut husks, and corn leaves, in producing high-quality nanocellulose that can be used for applications in the field of bone tissue regeneration. This study uses an experimental design with a laboratory approach. Agricultural waste is treated through nanocellulose extraction using certain chemical techniques. Material characterization was carried out using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), as well as biocompatibility tests using osteoblast cell cultures. The results show that rice straw produces nanocellulose with the highest cellulose content (65%) and has optimal tensile strength and degradation time for bone tissue applications. Peanut husks and corn leaves also show good results, although not as good as rice straw. Agricultural waste, especially rice straw, has great potential to be used as a raw material for nanocellulose that can be used in bone tissue regeneration applications. This research opens up opportunities to develop more sustainable and affordable biomaterials for medical applications.

Abstract

This study aims to optimize the biocompatibility of natural polymer hydrogels for targeted drug delivery applications. Crosslinking modifications are applied to natural polymers such as alginate, agarose, and chitosan, with the aim of increasing cell viability and reducing cytotoxicity. The results showed that modified hydrogels had higher cell viability (85–90%) and lower cytotoxicity compared to unmodified hydrogels. In addition, these modifications do not trigger immunological or inflammatory reactions in the cells of the human body tested. This study suggests that the crosslinking technique can be an effective solution in developing more biocompatible natural polymer hydrogels, which can be used for targeted drug delivery applications. However, for broader clinical applications, further research is needed to explore other modification methods and test more types of polymers.
