Advances in Antioxidants & Immunoactives from Marine Algae

Dear Colleagues,

It is a pleasure for us to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Antioxidants on “Advances in Antioxidants & Immunoactives from Marine Algae”. Authors interested in this topic are invited to submit original research papers or review articles covering the different aspects of the antioxidant and/or immunomodulatory properties of algal resources and their human or animal benefits. Algal immunoreactive compounds, i.e., compounds able to strengthen the body’s natural defenses and to boost the immune system are of great interest for the eco-friendly and sustainable development of new nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals or feed products, based on (micro-)algal sources. Algae do generally contain a high content and diversity of known and less known bioactive compounds (e.g., carotenoids, phenolic compounds or vitamins), and some might be considered a factory for their synthesis. Contributions reporting bioactivity assessment of algal biomass or extracts are welcome, together with documented activities of some specific algal compounds. Reports on in vitro or in vivo description of immune-stimulatory activities of algal biomass/extracts in human or animals against not communicable and/or communicable pathologies are also greatly appreciated.
