Physiological and transcriptomic evidence for a close coupling between chloroplast ontogeny and cell cycle progression in the pennate diatom Seminavis robusta [PDF]
, 2008 Despite the growing interest in diatom genomics, detailed time series of gene expression in relation to key cellular processes are still lacking. Here, we investigated the relationships between the cell cycle and chloroplast development in the pennate ...

Fucoxanthin Induced Suicidal Death of Human Erythrocytes [PDF]
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2015 Background/Aims: Fucoxanthin, a carotenoid isolated from brown seaweeds, induces suicidal death or apoptosis of tumor cells and is thus considered for the treatment or prevention of malignancy. In analogy to apoptosis of nucleated cell, erythrocytes may enter eryptosis, the suicidal death characterized by cell shrinkage and cell membrane scrambling ...

Fucoxanthin Inhibits the Proliferation of ABCC2-Over Expressing Cisplatin-Resistance Ovarian Cancer Cells via Inducing Apoptosis [PDF]
Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2023 Background: The development of multidrug resistance (MDR) is a major barrier to achieving effective chemotherapy in cancer. Studies have shown that epithelial ovarian cancer initially responds to platinum-based therapy, however, the recurrent type is ...

A model of chlorophyll a destruction by Calanus spp. and implications for the estimation of ingestion rates using the gut fluorescence method [PDF]
, 1998 Chlorophyll a (chl a) destruction by groups of Calanus spp. with different long-term in situ feeding histories was compared. For copepods that had fed during both pre- and early-bloom conditions, degrees of chl a destruction were relatively constant at ...

Enzymatic extraction of fucoxanthin from brown seaweeds [PDF]
International Journal of Food Science & Technology, 2018 SummaryBrown seaweeds contain a number of bioactive compounds. The xanthophyll, fucoxanthin, has in vivo efficacy against disorders such as type 2 diabetes, obesity and cancer. Organic solvents are traditionally employed to extract fucoxanthin, but carry a toxic chemical and environmental burden.

Integration of plastids with their hosts: Lessons learned from dinoflagellates. [PDF]
, 2015 After their endosymbiotic acquisition, plastids become intimately connected with the biology of their host. For example, genes essential for plastid function may be relocated from the genomes of plastids to the host nucleus, and pathways may evolve ...
