The purpose of this study was to describe an approach that aims to provide fundamental information for the application of natural cuttlefish bone. Before applying cuttlefish bone as a bone defect filling material, we evaluated proliferation, adhesion, and cell viability of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) cultured on cuttlefish bone. Cuttlefish bone was separated into two parts (dorsal shie...

As a center of textile industry in Indonesia, city Pekalongan faces environmental issue due to wastewater effluent from industry. The contains dye, mostly synthetic used for coloring the fabrics. One dyes commonly is sulphur blue producing dark color. simple methods reduce dye adsorption. Cuttlefish bone was as adsorbent. It abundantly available and cheap because it waste fishing effect acid al...

Porous three-dimensional hydroxyapatite scaffolds were synthesised from aragonitic cuttlefish bones via a microwave based technique. Due to its close similarity to the mineral phase found in the natural human bone matrix, synthetically produced hydroxyapatite is considered a viable apatite substitute for natural bone in a number of biomedical applications. The X-ray diffract ion data confirms t...

Abstract: Hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, has been widely investigated for medical purposes because it is suitable for either direct clinical use as implants or tissue-engineering applications. In this work materials were successfully produced via hydrothermal transformation of aragonite, obtained from fresh cuttlefish bones, at 200°C and high pressures. Beyond low production cost, worldwide a...

Irradiation leads to immunosuppression, hemopoiesis injury as well as sub-health of human being. The protective and therapeutic effects of cuttlefish ink on hemopoiesis in 60Co gamma radiated model mice were investigated. One hundred and twenty female ICR mice aged 6 weeks (20-24g) were randomly divided into five groups: the control group, the model group, and the low, medium, high dosage group...

The effect of feeding 1% cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) liver oil for a period of 45 days on immune function, inflammatory response and platelet aggregation was studied in male albino Sprague Dawley rats. In liver oil-treated animals, spleen cell proliferation was significantly higher, especially in the presence of mitogen. The bone marrow cells also showed enhanced proliferation in the treated a...

introduction: discharge of textile wastewater causes the reduction of sunlight penetration, interferes with the receiving waters ecology and damage the environment. the aim of this study was to determine the removal efficiency of reactive blue 19 dye from aqueous solutions by cuttlefish bone powder. materials & methods: this study was performed experimentally and in laboratory scale. in this re...

Polarization sensitivity is a characteristic of the visual system of cephalopods. It has been well documented in adult cuttlefish, which use polarization sensitivity in a large range of tasks such as communication, orientation and predation. Because cuttlefish do not benefit from parental care, their visual system (including the ability to detect motion) must be efficient from hatching to enabl...
