Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMarine-Derived Extracts as Economically Sustainable and Ethical Alternatives to Fetal Bovine Serum in HEK293 Cell CultureKian Kenneth Francisco Sanchez, Jennifer Seki-Wong et al.Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is a staple supplement in cell culture, providing key growth factors that promote cell health and proliferation. Since 1885, cell culture has been a cornerstone of both basic and applied research, leading to significant discoveries of cell communication and function. However, the use of FBS presents economic and ethical challenges. Millions of bovine fetuses are euthanized … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 7 Aug 2026 · 1,042 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCytotoxicity Evaluation of Curcumin-FITC Conjugates in Granulosa Cells Isolated from Ovarian Follicles of Kampung Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus)Sukarman Hadi Jaya Putra, Mansur S, UmarudinLinking curcumin to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) results in a hybrid fluorescent marker (curcumin-FITC) that exhibits improved stability and sensitivity in detection. This study sought to evaluate the biological safety and cytotoxic effects of curcumin-FITC on granulosa cells obtained from ovarian follicles (2-5 mm, F1-F4 stage) of Kampung chickens. Following fluorescent labeling with different concentrations of curcumin-FITC (0-100 μg/mL), cell viability … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 14 May 2026 · 1,497 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Inflammatory Properties of Crude Extracts and Anti-Cancer Properties of Acetone Extract of Moringa Oleifera Lam. Flowers on Cell Line ModelsSandisiwe Maposa, Gloria Aderonke Otunola, Anthony Jide AfolayanIn recent times, Moringa oleifera has earned great interest for its various physiological and therapeutic benefits. Acetone, ethanol, methanol, and aqueous extracts of Moringa oleifera flowers were investigated for anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer potential. Anti-inflammatory capacity was evaluated using the inhibition of nitric oxide production (LPS-induced) on RAW 264.7, and cell viability was appraised with the MTT assay. The potential of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2026 · 1,464 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDihydroartemisinin Attenuates HBV-Induced Proliferation and Migration in LO2 cells via EMT Pathway ModulationYingde Nong, Caifang Ma, Wei Huang et al.Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a derivative of artemisinin, possesses well-documented anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated the inhibitory effects of DHA on hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced cellular alterations in LO2 cells and elucidated underlying molecular mechanisms. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were measured in HBV patients and analyzed for correlations with HBsAg, anti-HBs, and HBeAg. In vitro, LO2 cells were infected with clinical HBV … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 8 Jan 2026 · 2,071 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Atorvastatin on Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein-induced Proliferation, Apoptosis, and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Expression in Human MacrophagesBensheng Liu, Huifan Li, Yan Wang, Li ZhangAtorvastatin (ATV), an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, is utilized in the treatment of atherosclerotic diseases. Mononuclear Macrophages (MMs) are critical immune cells involved in atherosclerosis progression, participating in processes such as foam cell formation, cytokine secretion, and the development of fibrous cap and lipid core. To further elucidate the mechanism by which ATV exerts its therapeutic effects on atherosclerosis through the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 18 Nov 2025 · 2,133 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntiproliferative Potential of Pomegranate Peel Extract in MDA-MB Breast Cancer Cell LinesManal Asif Hamdulay, Fatema Yusuf Singaporewala, Grisilda Vidya Bernhardt et al.Nutraceuticals have gained recognition as adjuvant therapies in cancer treatment due to their non-toxic and protective properties. Among various natural products, pomegranate peel with high antioxidant capacity and rich polyphenol content suggest potential anticancer properties. Previous studies have shown promising anticancer effects of other parts of the pomegranate. The purpose of this research is to compare the effectiveness of Pomegranate … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 13 May 2025 · 5,582 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCytotoxicity and Apoptosis Prevailed by Tricyclohexyltin(IV) Dithiocarbamate Compounds Against Human Lung Carcinoma Cell Line (A549)Normah Awang, Nurul Amalina Abd Aziz, Nur Fatini Nordin, Nurul Farahana KamaludinIn Malaysia, lung cancer is a highly common kind of cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. This study examined the cytotoxicity of two new tricyclohexyltin(IV) dithiocarbamate compounds compounds, which are tricyclohexyltin(IV) N-methyl-N-benzyldithiocarbamate (C1) and tricyclohexyltin(IV) N-ethyl-N-benzyldithiocarbamate (C2), on lung carcinoma cell lines (A549) of humans. The cytotoxicity was assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cell death mode … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 13 Jun 2024 · 4,622 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Electronic Cigarette E-Liquids on the Adhesion and Growth of Osteoblast CellsAna Carla Lorenz-Vieira, Cesar Augusto Magalhães Benfatti, Mahmoud RouabhiaElectronic cigarettes (E-cigarettes) were designed to replace traditional cigarettes to decrease the harmful effects of smoking. The liquid in e-cigarettes contains different chemicals, such as Propylene Glycol (PG) and Vegetable Glycerin (VG), and may contain nicotine.
