Nanoshell Fabrication Techniques for Probiotic Encapsulation: A Comprehensive Review

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Probiotics, beneficial microorganisms, confer numerous health benefits when administered. However, their efficacy is hindered by harsh gut conditions, including acidity, bile acids, and enzymatic degradation. To overcome these challenges, encapsulation and nanoshell technology have emerged as a pivotal strategy to enhance probiotic stability ...

Alginate Oligosaccharide DP5 Exhibits Antitumor Effects in Osteosarcoma Patients following Surgery [PDF]

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2017
Osteosarcoma is a malignant musculoskeletal tumor that has high-rate morbidity and mortality worldwide. Alginate oligosaccharide (AOS), a natural product, has antitumor activities and may have therapeutic effects in osteosarcoma, the molecular mechanisms of which remain unclear. AOS was prepared from alginate sodium using alginate lyase.

Induction of Multiple Cytokine Secretion from RAW264.7 Cells by Alginate Oligosaccharides [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2007
We investigated the cytokine-inducing activities of guluronate (G3-G6) and mannuronate (M3-M6) oligomers on RAW264.7 cells with the Bio-Plex assay system. Relatively high levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), regulated upon activation normal T cell ...
