Angiogenesis occurs as the cancer tumor develops, making cancer grow and metastasize. Hence, suppressing angiogenesis is considered to be a method to enhance the effect of anticancer treatment. Treatments for angiogenesis inhibition include the use of […]
Fucoidan is a natural sulfated polysaccharide that is the primary component of slime that covers the surface of brown algae such as mozuku and mekabu.
