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

Narrow thermal range restricts fertilization and early growth in the habitat‐forming seaweed Durvillaea potatorum (Phaeophyceae)—Implications for aquaculture and climate resilience

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 556-567, April 2026.
Abstract The southern bull kelp Durvillaea potatorum is a key habitat‐forming macroalga in southeastern Australia and has been identified as a species of interest for sustainable seaweed aquaculture. However, the species is threatened by rising ocean temperatures and other anthropogenic factors. Assessing the thermal limits across different life stages

Risk assessment of the production of seaweed in the Netherlands; food safety and nature

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Seaweed is seen as an important source of alternative proteins for a sustainable food system and food security. The cultivation of seaweed is therefore encouraged by the European Union (EU) and also by the Dutch government.In the Netherlands, seaweed is farmed on small scale in the Southwest Delta, the Wadden Sea and the North Sea. Despite the

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 20, 9 March 2026.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...
