λ-Carrageenan Oligosaccharides of Distinct Anti-Heparanase and Anticoagulant Activities Inhibit MDA-MB-231 Breast Cancer Cell Migration [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2019 In tumor development, the degradation of heparan sulfate (HS) by heparanase (HPSE) is associated with cell-surface and extracellular matrix remodeling as well as the release of HS-bound signaling molecules, allowing cancer cell migration, invasion and ...

Complex coacervation of food grade antimicrobial lauric arginate with lambda carrageenan
Current Research in Food Science, 2021 In this study, the complex coacervation mechanism of Lauric arginate ester (LAE) with λ-carrageenan was studied using turbidimetry, light scattering and electrophoresis. The complexes formed were found to have a bilayer-like structure using small angle X-

Carrageenans, sulphated polysaccharides of red seaweeds, differentially affect Arabidopsis thaliana resistance to Trichoplusia ni (cabbage looper). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Carrageenans are a collective family of linear, sulphated galactans found in a number of commercially important species of marine red alga. These polysaccharides are known to elicit defense responses in plant and animals and possess anti-viral properties.
