Read more > NEW FUCOIDAN RESEARCH Fucoidan increases radiotherapy effects In new research, fucoidan has been found to have radiosensitising effects on cancer cells in vitro. Radiosensitising makes cancer cells easier to target with therapy. Fucoidan also increased the beneficial effects of X-ray radiation on cancer cell proliferation and colony formation, particularly in melanoma. These results further support the use of fucoidan alongside radiotherapy. Fucoidan protects against photoaging New research demonstrates the anti-photoaging effects of fucoidan. In a UVB-irradiated mouse model, topical fucoidan significantly inhibited wrinkle formation, skin edema (swelling) and recruitment of inflammatory cells, compared to a control. These effects stem from powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of fucoidan, as well as its ability to inhibit skin degrading enzymes. Fucoidan exerts post-operative benefits Fucoidan has been shown to reduce the formation of post-operative abdominal adhesions by up to 90% in an animal model. Abdominal adhesions are bands of fibrous and scar-like tissue that can form after surgery and are a major cause of morbidity. The anti-inflammatory properties of fucoidan and its ability to inhibit fibrin clot formation and fibrosis is thought to mediate this effect.
