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 […]
In this blog, I’m going to discuss and share the findings of a study titled “Effect of Fucoidan on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Transection and Medial Meniscectomy Induced Osteoarthritis in High-Fat Diet-Induced Obese Rats” conducted by Sabri Sudirman et al. The study aims to examine the impact of Fucoidan on rats with diet-induced obesity who undergo […]
Neutrophils play a crucial role in every stage of both human and experimental abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) development. The initial step in this process involves the rolling and entrapment of neutrophils within the intraluminal thrombus (ILT), which is considered to be the primary process mediated by P-selectin, expressed by activated platelets. In this blog, I […]
The purpose of this blog post is to present the findings from the study titled “Immunopotentiation Activity of Fucoidans and Relevance to Cancer Immunotherapy” conducted by Yani Li et al. The study sheds light on the current advancements and knowledge regarding the immune-boosting effects of different Fucoidans, while also exploring the potential benefits of combining […]
In this blog, I would like to share the study, “Ten Years of Research on Fucoidan and Cancer: Focus on Its Antiangiogenic and Antimetastatic Effects” by Eleonora Turrini et al. The primary focus of this study was the anti-angiogenic and anti-metastatic effects of fucoidan, with a specific emphasis on ten years of preclinical research. Angiogenesis, […]
Fucoidan, which is derived from brown algae, is a type of sulfated polysaccharide. Their ability to target various signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms within malignant cells gives them anticancer properties. In this blog, I would like to share the study, “Brown Seaweed Fucoidan in Cancer: Implications in Metastasis and Drug Resistance” by María Elena Reyes […]
