Integrating Biological Architecture and Biomaterial Function: Exploring the Native Hydrogel Structure of Brown Seaweed

Macromolecular Bioscience, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study explores the natural internal structure of brown seaweed and how it influences material behavior. By preserving and reassembling the seaweed's native architecture, hydrogels and foams with high liquid absorption, porosity, and shape recovery were created using minimal processing.

The effects of seasonality and parasitism on diet and habitat selection in the common periwinkle

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.
The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is an ecologically important grazer, known for its strong influence on algal communities and its role in structuring ecosystems. It serves as the first intermediate host for several trematode species in the Baltic Sea, especially for the fluke Cryptocotyle lingua.

Extraction and Optimization of Fucoidan From Sargassum muticum Using Acidic Eutectic Solvents and Evaluation of Their Effects on Fibroblast Cell Lines

ChemistryOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2026.
Fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide extracted from the cell wall of macroalgae such as S. muticum, exhibits promising biological properties. This study investigated a green extraction using deep eutectic solvents (DESs), with an emphasis on process optimization and bioactive evaluation of fucoidan.

Induction of defences and within-plant variation on palatability in two brown algae from the northern-central coast of Chile: effects of mesograzers and UV radiation [PDF]

, 2005
Macroalgae possess different defense mechanisms in response to herbivory. Some species produce anti-herbivore secondary metabolites, but production of these substances can be costly.

Aloe vera Tannin Ameliorates Fructose‐Induced Dyslipidaemia and Oxidative Stress in Wistar Rats

Food Chemistry International, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 111-120, March 2026.
Aloe vera tannin (AVT) significantly enhances liver reduced glutathione and superoxide dismutase activities in rats. Fructose consumption creates dyslipidaemia in rats by significantly increasing serum cholesterol and LDL levels. AVT prevented fructose‐induced dyslipidaemia in rats by controlling the lipid profile. AVT did not affect liver, hippocampus
