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 […]

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 […]
Cistanche tubulosa, shown in Picture 1, as well as Laminaria japonica, have both been documented to possess a range of beneficial properties, including anti-oxidative, anticoagulant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory effects. These candidates show promise in promoting hair growth and effectively treating dandruff and scalp inflammation. In this blog, I am sharing the following study, “Efficacy of […]
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 […]
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 […]
NAFLD, which stands for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, is a widespread condition that affects approximately 25% of the global population. It is important to note that the progression of NAFLD is strongly linked to liver failure, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease. So, in this blog, I would like to share the study “Antioxidant and Antisteatotic […]
This blog aims to provide information about the study titled “Apoptosis Induced in Colon Cancer by Fucoidan and Alginate from Brown Algae Colpomenia sinuosa, Combined with Vitamin C” conducted by Reem Al Monla et al. The study explores the effects of combining fucoidan and alginate, two polysaccharides derived from brown algae, with vitamin C on […]
In this blog, I would like to share the study, “Fucoidan Structure and Its Impact on Glucose Metabolism: Implications for Diabetes and Cancer Therapy” by Blessing Mabate et al. By linking diabetes and cancer, the study not only provides valuable insights into the relationship between the two diseases but also presents a comprehensive overview of […]
The main cause of dry eye disease is the evaporation of water from the tear film, leading to insufficient tear production. Increased tear osmolarity, which is linked to ocular surface damage, plays a role in the development of dry eye syndrome. Impairment of ocular surface homeostasis can occur when there is damage or dysfunction of […]
The purpose of this blog is to shed light on a study that delved into the effects of low-molecular-weight fucoidan (LMF) as a supplement to neoadjuvant on the quality of life (QoL) and clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). The study, “The Auxiliary Effects of Low-Molecular-Weight Fucoidan in Locally Advanced […]
