TL;DR: Modulations of gut microbiota by different fucoidans were studied and it was found that at the expense of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria such as Peptococcus, the abundance of beneficial bacteria was significantly increased in response to fucoidan treatment.

TL;DR: The in vivo studies indicated that both CSGB and bilayer wound dressing significantly accelerated the healing rate of cutaneous wounds in mice, and the bilayer exhibited better mature epidermization with less inflammatory cells on Day 7, therefore, this novel bilayer composite has great potential in wound dressing applications.

TL;DR: The results corroborate previous studies demonstrating harmful gastrointestinal effect of carrageenan and shed new light into the mechanism by which carrageENan induces colitis in experimental animals.

TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that FvF could be a promising α-glucosidase inhibitor for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: In mice, it is found that colon mucus consists of two distinct O-glycosylated entities of Muc2: a major form produced by the proximal colon, which encapsulates the fecal material including the microbiota, and a minor form derived from the distal Colon, which adheres to the major form.
