Watch now (2min)> NEW FUCOIDAN RESEARCH Fucoidan nanoparticles boost immunotherapy In exciting new research, fucoidan-based nanoparticles have been combined with immunotherapy. These nanoparticles were found to boost an immunotherapy response at the tumour site in mice. Additionally, they reduced the occurrence of adverse events by delivering a more targeted navigation to the tumour. These findings may give rise to the development of new combination immunotherapies. Preventative effects of fucoidan against norovirus A recent study has demonstrated the preventative effects of fucoidan against the norovirus – a leading cause of gastroenteritis. Designed to investigate potential food additives that imitate the structure of blood-group active mucin-type O-glycans, the study found that fucoidan inhibited binding of the norovirus to epithelial surfaces. This research may lead to new preventative approaches against the norovirus. Fucoidan reduces gastric mucosal damage Researchers have explored the benefits of a novel combination of orally-ingested fucoidan and wheat peptides. Taken together, the combination reduced gastric mucosal damage in an animal model. The anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the combination are understood to mediate these protective effects. The research findings offer a new potential approach in preventing gastric mucosal damage.
