The effect of organic coatings in the magnetization of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles
Cobalt ferrite has attracted considerable attention in recent years due to its unique physical properties, such as high Curie temperature, large magnetocrystalline anisotropy, high coercivity, moderate saturation magnetization, large magnetostrictive ...

Marine organism sulfated polysaccharides exhibiting significant antimalarial activity and inhibition of red blood cell invasion by Plasmodium [PDF]
The antimalarial activity of heparin, against which there are no resistances known, has not been therapeutically exploited due to its potent anticoagulating activity.

The Potential of Seaweeds as a Source of Functional Ingredients of Prebiotic and Antioxidant Value [PDF]
Two thirds of the world is covered by oceans, whose upper layer is inhabited by algae. This means that there is a large extension to obtain these photoautotrophic organisms.

Photopolarization of Fucus zygotes is determined by time sensitive vectorial addition of environmental cues during axis amplification [PDF]
Fucoid zygotes have been extensively used to study cell polarization and asymmetrical cell division. Fertilized eggs are responsive to different environmental cues (e.g., light, gravity) for a long period before the polarity is fixed and the cells ...

Oxalate crystals and other types of crystals are the cause of urolithiasis, and these are related to oxidative stress. The search for new compounds with antioxidant qualities and inhibitors of these crystal formations is therefore necessary.

Sulfated fucans, fresh perspectives: structures, functions, and biological properties of sulfated fucans and an overview of enzymes active toward this class of polysaccharide [PDF]
Sulfated fucans, frequently referred to simply as fucans, constitute a class of polysaccharides first isolated in 1913. For many years fucans were regarded only as a potential source of l-fucose, although their anticoagulant activity was known. Even as the potent effects of fucans on physiological systems have become better characterized, structural ...

Fucan effect on CHO cell proliferation and migration
Fucan is a term used to denominate sulfated L-fucose rich polysaccharides. Here, a heterofucan, named fucan B, was extracted from the Spatoglossum schröederi seaweed. This 21.5 kDa galactofucan inhibited CHO-K1 proliferation and migration when fibronectin was the substrate.
