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 […]

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 […]

The impact of Fucoidan extract from Fucus Vesiculosus on ethanol-induced liver injury and fatty liver.

Alcoholic liver disease can manifest in individuals who engage in heavy daily alcohol consumption, leading to the accumulation of fat in the liver and subsequent inflammation. Heavy alcohol consumption can result in the development of a life-threatening condition known as severe alcoholic liver disease. If not treated, it can advance to cirrhosis or liver cancer […]

Fucoidan’s effects on osteogenic precursor cells’ survival and mineralization.

Osteosarcoma primarily impacts adolescents and is a form of bone cancer. The negative outcomes of chemotherapy, surgical complications, and the potential for postoperative osteoporosis all contribute to a poor prognosis and diminished quality of life following treatment. Fucoidan, a type of sulfated polysaccharide found in brown algae, has gained significant interest due to its potential […]
