Recruitment of Ascophyllum nodosum: wave action as a source of mortality

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1990
The brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum is a dominant rocky intertidal organism throughout much of the North Atlantic Ocean, yet its inability to colonize exposed or denuded shores is well recognized. Our experimental data show that wave action is a major source of mortality to recently settled zygotes.

Exploring the Antifungal Potential of the Brown Macroalga Hormophysa triquetra: Morphological Disruptions and Structural Changes in Plant Pathogens

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Extracts of Hormophysa triquetra showed antifungal activity with marked hyphal deformities in Fusarium oxysporum and Alternaria alternata. Light microscopy and SEM confirmed structural alterations despite unchanged radial growth. Cucumber assays validated reduced disease incidence, linked to fatty‐acid–rich metabolites detected by GC–MS.

Fucoidan: An Update on Function, Role in Human Health and Applications

Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.
Fucoidan is a promising bioactive compound with anti‐inflammatory, anticoagulant, anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, and cardioprotective properties. In addition, thanks to its epigenetic potential, ability to modulate autophagic mechanisms and possibility adjuvant agent or bioactive component of the drug delivery systems, fucoidan is a promising ...

Activation of Human Dendritic Cells by Ascophyllan Purified from Ascophyllum nodosum [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2019
In our previous study, we showed that ascophyllan purified from Ascophyllum nodosum treatment promotes mouse dendritic cell (DC) activation in vivo, further induces an antigen-specific immune response and has anticancer effects in mice. However, the effect of ascophyllan has not been studied in human immune cells, specifically in terms of activation of
