Fucoidan: An Update on Function, Role in Human Health and Applications
Chemical Biology &Drug Design, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.Fucoidan is a promising bioactive compound with anti‐inflammatory, anticoagulant, anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, and cardioprotective properties. In addition, thanks to its epigenetic potential, ability to modulate autophagic mechanisms and possibility adjuvant agent or bioactive component of the drug delivery systems, fucoidan is a promising ...

Hydrothermally Stable, Conformal, Sulfated Zirconia Monolayer Catalysts for Glucose Conversion to 5-HMF [PDF]
, 2015 The grafting and sulfation of zirconia conformal monolayers on SBA-15 to create mesoporous catalysts of tunable solid acid/base character is reported. Conformal zirconia and sulfated zirconia (SZ) materials exhibit both Brönsted and Lewis acidity, with ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Permeable sands on continental shelves host microbial communities that drive organic carbon turnover, oxygen fluxes and nitrogen loss. Advective porewater flow associated with sedimentary bedforms maintains these rates and fluxes. Modeling and laboratory studies suggest that advective porewater flow is tightly coupled to bedform stability ...

Females of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus differ in the structures of their egg jelly sulfated fucans [PDF]
Glycobiology, 1998 The egg jelly coats of sea urchins contain sulfated fucans which bind to a sperm surface receptor glycoprotein to initiate the signal transduction events resulting in the sperm acrosome reaction. The acrosome reaction is an ion channel regulated exocytosis which is an obligatory event for sperm binding to, and fusion with, the egg. Approximately 90% of

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.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 ...

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 130-151, January 2026.Summary This review discusses the use of agronomic management practices to enhance crop stress resilience to climate stress through the modulation of natural plant growth regulatory pathways. The use of biostimulants or plant hormones to improve crop resilience is subject to strict regulatory oversight if changes in the regulation of plant growth are ...
