In this study, we analyzed the size-dependent bioactivities of fucoidan by comparing the cytotoxic effects of native fucoidan and fucoidan lipid nanoparticles on osteosarcoma in vitro and in vivo. In vitro experiments indicated that nanoparticle fucoidan induced apoptosis of an osteosarcoma cell line more efficiently than native fucoidan. The more potent effects of nanoparticle fucoidan, relative to native fucoidan, were confirmed in vivo using a xenograft osteosarcoma model. Caco-2 cell transport studies showed that permeation of nanoparticle fucoidan was higher than native fucoidan. The higher bioactivity and superior bioavailability of nanoparticle fucoidan could potentially be utilized to develop novel therapies for osteosarcoma.

Low molecular weight fucoidan (LMWF) has been proved to be more potent than its prototype, many degradation methods have been used to prepare LMWF. This study is conducted to further explore the biological activities of LMWF prepared by ultrasound based on anticoagulation, antioxidation, and inhibition of urate induced pyroptosis and reabsorption transporters overexpression in human renal tubular epithelial cells. Data revealed that ultrasound successfully degraded fucoidan to be LMWF, the product treated for no more than 2.

Article Synopsis
- Brown seaweed polysaccharides, specifically fucoidan and laminarin, have notable bioactivities, but their performance after digestion remains largely unexplored.
- A study evaluated how digestion affects the digestibility and bioactive performance of fucoidan and laminarin fractions from Australian seaweeds by analyzing changes in sugar content and molecular weight throughout digestion.
- Results showed a decrease in molecular weight during digestion, with an increase in reducing sugars, indicating that while bioactive properties like antioxidant and antidiabetic capacities were not fully lost, their effectiveness diminished compared to undigested fractions.
Effect of Crude Polysaccharides from Hydrolysate on Cell Proliferation and Differentiation of Muscle Stem Cells for Cultured Meat Production.

Research Group of Food Processing, Korea Food Research Institute, Wanju 55365, Republic of Korea.
Article Synopsis
- E. cava, a brown seaweed from East Asia, contains beneficial compounds such as polysaccharides and polyphenols, with fucoidan being a key ingredient in food products.
- The study extracted crude polysaccharides (ECC_CPS) from this seaweed, which significantly improved the growth and migration of muscle satellite cells (HMSCs) during laboratory tests.
- ECC_CPS not only enhanced cell proliferation but also promoted differentiation, indicating its potential as a functional additive in cultured meat production.
Fucoidan from brown seaweed Tubinaria decurrens: Structure and structure - anticancer activity relationship.

The aims of this study are to determine the structure of a fucoidan from brown seaweed Turbinaria decurrens, to investigate its anticancer activity and structure-activity relationship. SEC-MALLS, IR, ESI-MS and NMR spectra analysis indicated that dominant structure of the fucoidan, with a Mw 122.6 KDa, has a backbone of (1 → 3)- and (1 → 4)-α-L-Fucp residues, branched at C-4, sulfate groups are attached at C-2, C-3 and C-4; branches are (1 → 4)-β-D-Galp residues and sulfated at C-2.

Cartilage injury represents a frequent dilemma in clinical practice owing to its inherently limited self-renewal capacity. Biomimetic strategy-based engineered biomaterial, capable of coordinated regulation for cellular and microenvironmental crosstalk, provides an adequate avenue to boost cartilage regeneration. The level of oxidative stress in microenvironments is verified to be vital for tissue regeneration, yet it is often overlooked in engineered biomaterials for cartilage regeneration.
