Innovative Applications of Marine Macroalgae Polysaccharides in Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery: A Review Study

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Marine macroalgae are abundant sources of bioactive polysaccharides—including alginate, fucoidan, ulvan, carrageenan, and agarose—widely recognized for extensive biomedical applications. These polysaccharides exhibit remarkable biological properties, such as immunostimulatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and ...

Characterization of cellular and molecular immune components of the painted white sea urchin Lytechinus pictus in response to bacterial infection

open access: yesImmunology &Cell Biology, Volume 103, Issue 1, Page 45-59, January 2025.
Sea urchins are basal deuterostomes that share key molecular components of innate immunity with humans, and are a powerful model for the study of innate immunity. Here we characterize the morphology and associated molecular markers of immune cell types in a newly developed model sea urchin, Lytechinus pictus.
