Dietary Supplementation with Low-Molecular-Weight Fucoidan Enhances Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses and Protects against Mycoplasma pneumoniae Antigen Stimulation

Marine Drugs, 2019
In this study, the low-molecular-weight (LMW) fucoidan, rich in fucose and sulfate, was extracted and purified from the edible brown seaweed, Laminaria japonica. In this study, we orally administered LMW fucoidan to mice for 6 weeks.

Commercially Exploited Seaweed Species in Africa: Occurrences, Chemical Composition, Current Value Chain and Opportunities for Value Addition

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
Commercially exploited seaweed species in Africa, their biochemical composition, current uses, and value chain are reviewed. Potential value‐addition of seaweed is suggested regionally in Africa amongst countries producing similar seaweed species. ABSTRACT Africa has a wide range of coastal environments that support a diverse array of seaweed species ...

Microgel‐Based Immunomodulatory Biomaterials for Regulating Macrophage Polarization

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Macrophages are key regulators of the immune system. Modulating their phenotype from pro‐inflammatory (M1) to pro‐regenerative (M2) is key to engineering implantable tissue scaffolds for regenerative medicine. Understanding the cell‐matrix mechanosensitive trends macrophages exhibit with microgel‐based biomaterials will enhance future research.
