Recent Progressions in Applications of Bioactive Polysaccharides in Food and Health Sciences: A Comprehensive Review. [PDF]
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 ...

Is the antithrombotic effect of sulfated galactans independent of serpin? [PDF]
Sulfated galactans are polysaccharides with heterogeneous structures that frequently show anticoagulant activity. Their anticoagulant mechanisms are complex and distinct from those observed for heparin. Sulfated galactans act through a combination of effects involving serpin-dependent and serpin-independent mechanisms. Interestingly, these polymers can
