From Synthesis to Therapeutics: Bioactive‐Coated Zein Nanoparticles in Drug Delivery

Biopolymers, Volume 117, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Polymeric zein nanoparticles (ZNP), derived from corn protein, are biodegradable drug carriers with high stability and low synthesis costs. Their amphiphilic nature allows efficient encapsulation of both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs, making them promising for drug delivery.

Therapies from Fucoidan; Multifunctional Marine Polymers [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2011
Published research on fucoidans increased three fold between 2000 and 2010. These algal derived marine carbohydrate polymers present numerous valuable bioactivities. This review discusses the role for fucoidan in the control of acute and chronic inflammation via selectin blockade, enzyme inhibition and inhibiting the complement cascade. The recent data

Comparative Study of Sulfated Polysaccharides From Ulva Lactuca Grown in Tunisia and Morocco: in Vitro Antioxidant Activity and in Vivo Anti‐Inflammatory and Anti‐Ulcer Effects

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents a comparative analysis of sulfated polysaccharides extracted from Ulva lactuca collected in Tunisia (PSUT) and Morocco (PSUM). FTIR confirmed the presence of sulfate groups, while GC‐MS identified diverse sugar components. Both polysaccharides showed strong antioxidant activity, with DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging rates ...

Environmental Drivers of Genetic Structure and Local Adaptation in a Marine Foundation Species

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
We used genome‐wide SNP data to investigate how environmental gradients shape genetic structure, connectivity and local adaptation in the kelp Eisenia arborea across ~2700 km of coastline and contrasting depth environments. We found strong latitudinal genetic structure, evidence for local adaptation to temperature and depth despite high connectivity ...
