Structural Analysis of Fucoidans [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Product Communications, 2008
Sulfated polysaccharides of brown algae (“fucoidans”) constitute a wide variety of biopolymers from simple sulfated fucans up to complex heteropolysaccharides composed of several neutral monosaccharides, uronic acid and sulfate. The increased interest in this class of polysaccharides is explained by their high and versatile biological activities, and ...

Engineering Approaches to Modify Immunomodulatory Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs): Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Application

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

Disrupting Helicobacter pylori Iron Homeostasis With Bismuth Nanodrug‐Mediated Nutritional Trap for Targeted Gastric Infection Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A “nutritional trap” strategy centered on disrupting bacterial iron homeostasis is proposed. The synthesized Bi‐TP@FU (TBF) can target Helicobacter pylori, interfere with the bacterial iron uptake and utilization processes to disrupt its iron homeostasis, induce bacterial death, and meanwhile preserve the balance of the intestinal flora.

An all‐in‐one fucosylated gold nanocluster probe enables NIR‐II imaging and multi‐mechanistic therapy of acute kidney injury

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This study developed a fucoside‐targeted gold nanocluster probe that enables early NIR‐II imaging and multi‐mechanistic therapy for acute kidney injury, effectively mitigating oxidative stress, modulating inflammatory responses, and inhibiting ferroptosis to improve renal outcomes. Abstract Acute kidney injury (AKI) remains a life‐threatening condition

Biological activity of fucoidan from leafy bladderwort (Utricularia aurea Lour.) [PDF]

open access: yesSongklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2005
Fucoidan extracted from aquatic plant Utricularia aurea was 1.3% of dry weight and comprised glucuronic acid 62.5% and fucose 4.98% of the crude extract and 28.74% of the fucose was sulfate. The fucoidan was investigated for antibacterial activity.
