Formulation and Characterization of Fucoidan‐Based Hydrogels for 3D Printing Applications

Journal of Food Process Engineering, Volume 49, Issue 6, June 2026.
Algal polysaccharide‐based hydrogels combining fucoidan, sodium alginate, and agar showed suitable rheological and structural properties for extrusion‐based 3D printing. The formulation containing equal concentrations of alginate and agar exhibited superior printability, structural stability, and printing fidelity.

Nanotherapies for Atherosclerosis: Targeting, Catalysis, and Energy Transduction

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 20, 27 May 2026.
Atherosclerosis management is hindered by poor drug targeting and plaque heterogeneity. Nanotechnology overcomes these barriers via three core strategies: (1) target‐engineered nanocarriers that achieve lesion‐specific precision via ligand modification, biomimetic camouflage, stimuli‐responsive release, and self‐propelling nanomotors; (2) catalytic ...

Fucoidans as Potential Inhibitors of HIV-1 [PDF]

Marine Drugs, 2013
The antiviral activity of different structure fucoidans (α-l-fucans and galactofucans) was studied using two model viral systems based on a lentiviral vectors and a replication competent Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo-MuLV). It was found that investigated fucoidans have no cytotoxic effects on Jurkat and SC-1cell at the concentration range of 0.001 ...
