Fucoidan is of considerable interest for the development of drug carriers. The inclusion of fucoidan allows calcium carbonate microparticles in the form of vaterite to acquire new properties, enabling their use in the immobilization of protein prepar...

Jellyfish, a promising source of bioactive compounds, has attracted the attention of the biotechnology sector. This research explored the antioxidant and antimutagenic properties and the genotoxicity of peptides derived from blue cannonball jellyfish...

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can lead to intestinal complications and systemic risks, significantly increasing the likelihood of colorectal cancer in individuals with long-term illness. Fucoidan has shown...

Deep-sea mussels of the genus Bathymodiolus exhibit adaptability to nutrient-poor deep-sea environments by establishing nutritional intracellular symbiosis with chemosynthetic bacteria harbored within the gill epithelial cells. However, this poses a...

Marine diatoms are an important group of phytoplankton that can shape marine ecosystems and global carbon cycling. When stressed, either physiologically or by grazing, diatoms release oxidized, lipid-derived signals known as oxylipins. Diatom-derived...

Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a histologic marker of pancreatic cancer and a potential therapeutic target. This study aimed to characterize a novel sulfated agarose-derived oligosaccharide (DP9) from marine algae, Gracilaria lemaneiformis, evaluate its Gal-3...

This research explored the chemical composition of the soft coral Sarcophyton sp., leading to the discovery of six previously unreported cembranoids, sarcophynoids D–I (1–6), and three known analog compounds (7–9). Structural elucid...

Nemopilema nomurai is a species of common large toxic jellyfish in China seas, and its tentacle tissues contain various types of nematocysts. However, the correlation between the morphology and function of nematocysts still remains unclear. In this s...

Sea mayweed (Tripleurospermum maritimum L. syn. Matricaria maritima) is a halophytic species widely distributed along the Atlantic shoreline. Unlike other Tripleurospermum species, the chemical composition and biological activities of this halophyte...

Diatoxanthin is a photoprotective carotenoid found in a few groups of microalgae displaying in vitro anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, making it a promising candidate for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications. However,...
