Polysaccharides play a pivotal role in the development of safe and healthy foods. They ameliorate fatigue, preserve the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract, and provide health for the gut in living organisms. These biopolymers are applied for the fabrication of breakthrough drug delivery systems and potential platforms in regenerative medicine ...

Faunal variation on pelagic Sargassum
Pelagic Sargassum was collected in late summer, late winter, and early and late spring from inshore waters, the Gulf Stream and the Sargasso Sea of the Western North Atlantic Ocean. The noncolonial macrofauna was picked from the weed samples. The 34 samples contained 67 species and 11,234 individuals.

ABSTRACT Anthocyanins, valued for their health‐promoting properties and their role as natural pigments, are highly susceptible to degradation, highlighting the need for strategies to improve their stability. Biopolymer‐based systems are an alternative for interacting with and safeguarding these bioactive compounds.

Cryptofauna Associated With the Epilithic Algal Matrix on Subtropical Brazilian Reefs
ABSTRACT The epilithic algal matrix (EAM) plays a significant role in the benthic cover of reefs worldwide. In Brazil, the EAM accounts for a substantial proportion of the benthos, and its associated fauna contributes to the majority of the reef's metazoan biodiversity and is an important link into the trophic chain, connecting the production performed

Sustainable bioceramics, biopolymers, and composites for bone applications: From bench to production
Abstract In response to environmental challenges and primary resource scarcity, sustainable approaches that rely on recycling and reusing waste materials are becoming highly valuable and appealing options in modern society. These strategies have started being applied in biomaterials science, too, leading to the advent of new synergies between ...
