The Effects on Fucoidan on Two Hormone Therapies in Breast Cancer Patients

The combination of complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) with conventional cancer therapies has become a popular approach. However, there is a lack of clinical evidence supporting their safety when used alongside conventional treatments. Investigating the effects of CAM on conventional drugs is necessary to generate evidence-based information regarding the safe combination of many of these […]

Fucoidan’s effect on colon cancer: inhibiting the PI3K-Akt-Mtor pathway.

In the United States, colon cancer ranks as the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths. Early-stage colon cancer can be successfully treated with surgery, but advanced-stage colon cancer frequently recurs and is fatal, even in patients receiving combination chemotherapy. Chemotherapeutic agents, including cisplatin, are routinely used to treat advanced-stage colon cancer, but the improvement […]

Fucoidan Effect to Reduces TGFRI and TGFRII Protein Levels In Lung Cancer

The high mortality rate of lung cancer can be attributed to its tendency to metastasize at an early stage, spreading from the lungs to distant organs. Transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1) plays both tumor-suppressing and tumor-promoting roles in cancer biology, and overexpression of TGFβ1 promotes tumor growth and aggressive lung metastasis at late stages of […]

Structural and Metabolically Directed Efficacy of Fucoidan in Melanoma and Breast Cancer Cell Colony Formation Models

According to various research findings, cancer cells have a heightened ability to absorb glucose for anaerobic glycolysis, which is their preferred mode of energy production. Hence, the search for new inhibitors of cancer cell metabolism is a promising field in anticancer research. The use of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG), a glucose analog that cannot be metabolized, has […]

Fucoidan-Functionalized Activated Platelet-Hitchhiking Micelles Provide Efficient Treatment For Metastatic Cancer.

Platelets play a crucial role in tumor metastasis by being recruited and activated by tumor cells, and subsequently binding to circulating tumor cells (CTCs) to facilitate the spread of tumor cells to distant organs. Therefore, nanoparticles that hitchhike to activated platelets are believed to have excellent targeting ability for primary tumors, CTCs, and metastasis to […]

Monitoring and Photodynamic Therapy of Colorectal Cancer Using Fucoidan-Based Nanogels

The worldwide increase in cancer cases is a substantial impediment to extending how long people live. Over the last few decades, extensive research has been conducted to find ways to conquer this lethal disease. As a result, cancer treatments such as the three major cancer treatments, molecular targeted therapy, and immunotherapy have made significant progress. […]

Fucoidan from Cladosiphon okamuranus Tokida improves intestinal barrier function by upregulating claudin-1.

Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease are among the conditions categorized as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which refers to chronic inflammation in the intestines. IBD not only causes gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and abdominal pain but also affects the entire body, causing stomatitis, joint pain, skin disorders, and more. When considering the long-term outlook, it […]

Fucoidan helps repair intestinal damage caused by dietary advanced-glycation end products (dAGEs).

Intestinal epithelial cells play a crucial role in allowing food to enter the body while also acting as a strong defense against harmful compounds like food and bacterial toxins. However, their barrier function can be compromised when they come into contact with dAGEs, primarily found in food. In this blog, I would like to share […]

Fucoidan activates the tumor suppressor cascade in HCC cells by regulating Mir expression.

Previous studies have confirmed the impact of fucoidan extracted from Sargassum hemiphyllum on various HCC cell types (such as Huh6, Huh7, SK-Hep1, and HepG2) in both in vivo and in vitro settings, but the exact molecular events underlying these effects have yet to be fully understood. So in this blog, I would like to share […]

Fucoidan from Sargassum inhibits the onset and progression of inflammation-related colorectal cancer.

Intestinal inflammation significantly increases the risk of colorectal cancer development. In addition, gut microbial imbalance and impaired intestinal barrier are key to this inflammatory process. Under normal circumstances, gut microbes maintain a dynamic balance. Disrupting this balance can lead to an increase in harmful bacteria, which can worsen inflammation in the intestines. Repeated cycles of […]
