Plant polysaccharide‐capped nanoparticles: A sustainable approach to modulate gut microbiota and advance functional food applications

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 2, March 2025.
Abstract Plant‐derived polysaccharides have emerged as sustainable biopolymers for fabricating nanoparticles (polysaccharide‐based nanomaterials [PS‐NPs]), presenting unique opportunities to enhance food functionality and human health. PS‐NPs exhibit exceptional biocompatibility, biodegradability, and structural versatility, enabling their integration ...

Anti-HSV1 activity of brown algal polysaccharides and possible relevance to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease

, 2015
Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) induces the formation of the characteristic abnormal molecules of Alzheimer's disease (AD) brains, beta-amyloid, and abnormally phosphorylated, AD-like tau (P-tau). Formation of these molecules is inhibited by treatment

Phytohormones and emerging plant growth regulators in tailoring plant immunity against viral infections

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract Viral infections are major contributors to crop yield loss and represent a significant threat to sustainable agriculture. Plants respond to virus attacks by activating sophisticated signalling cascades that initiate multiple defence mechanisms.

Anticoagulant, Antioxidant and Antitumor Activities of Heterofucans from the Seaweed Dictyopteris delicatula

, 2011
In the present study, six families of sulfated polysaccharides were obtained from seaweed Dictyopteris delicatula by proteolytic digestion, followed by acetone fractionation and molecular sieving on Sephadex G-100. Chemical analyses demonstrated that all

Efficacy of β–Glucan From Microalgae on the Intestinal Health and Growth of Nursery Pigs

Animal Science Journal, Volume 96, Issue 1, January/December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of β‐glucan from microalgae (Algamune, Algal Scientific, Plymouth, MI, USA) on the intestinal health and growth of nursery pigs. One hundred sixty nursery pigs (6.0 ± 1.6 kg BW) were assigned to four treatments arranged in a 2 × 2 factor: antibiotic use and β‐glucan supplementation (0.02% Algamune).

Glycomolecules: from “sweet immunity” to “sweet biostimulation”?

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract Climate changes and environmental contaminants are daunting challenges that require an urgent change from current agricultural practices to sustainable agriculture. Biostimulants are natural solutions that adhere to the principles of organic farming and are believed to have low impacts on the environment and human health.

Inhibition of reverse transcriptase activity of HIV by polysaccharides of brown algae

, 2015
Brown algae have two kinds of acid polysaccharides present in the extracellular matrix: sulfated fucan and alginic acid. We have previously isolated and characterized fucans from several species of brown seaweed.

Space, the final frontier: The spatial component of phytoplankton–bacterial interactions

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 122, Issue 3, Page 331-346, September 2024.
This review highlights the importance of spatial proximity between marine bacteria and unicellular algae in symbiotic associations. Bacterial strategies to achieve this proximity include attachment (irreversible or reversible) and directed or random encounters.

A Novel Antinociceptive Sulphated Polysaccharide of the Brown Marine Alga

Natural Product Communications, 2011
Sulfated polysaccharides (SP) of brown algae (Phaeophyta) are composed mainly of α- L-fucose, being classified as fucans, with recognized role in inflammation but not in nociception, which was already described for SP obtained from red algae. Here the SP

Recommendation of consensus definition of sea turtle fibropapillomatosis 关于海龟纤维性乳突瘤病（FP）共识定义的建议

Wildlife Letters, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 90-101, June 2024.
Scutavirus chelonid alphaherpesvirus 5 (ChHV5), subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae is the oncogenic viral pathogen agent of all species of sea turtles specifically correlated to sea turtle fibropapillomatosis (FP) clinical cases. Increased risks of spread of diseases due to climate‐induced terrestrial and oceanic changes warrant the implementation of a ...
