With many desirable features, such as being more effective and having multiple effects, antiangiogenesis has become one of the promising cancer treatments. The aim of this study was to design and synthesize a new targeted bioresponsive nanosystem with antiangiogenesis properties. The mUPR@Ru(POP) nanosystem was constructed by the polymerization of Ulva lactuca polysaccharide and N-isopropyl acr...

The effects of dietary supplementation two different macroalgae Ulva lactuca and Jania rubens on the growth performance, survival feed conversion ratio juvenile red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) were investigated. Red with an average total length 56.2±6.67 mm weight 3.77±0.2 g placed at tanks (10 each tank) offered diets 8 weeks. Different levels added to commercial sea bass feed, no sea...

The inhibitory effect of Ulva lactuca (Chlorophyta), Dilophus spiralis (Phaeophyta) and Jania rubens (Rhodophyta) marine algae species has been evaluated against 2 Grampositive bacterial (Streptococcus pyogenes and Micrococcus luteus); 2 Gram-negative bacterial (Shigella flexneri and Vibrio cholerae) and 2 fungal (Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger) isolates using aqueous and six organic ex...

Terrestrial plants have proven to be a prolific producer of clinically effective antimalarial drugs, but the antimalarial potential of seaweeds has been little explored. The main aim of this study was to assess the in vitro chemotherapeutical and prophylactic potential of the extracts of twenty-three seaweeds collected from the south coast of England against blood stage (BS) and liver stage (LS...

Oxidative stress can damage cellular components including DNA, proteins or lipids, and may cause several skin diseases. To protect from this damage and addressing consumer's appeal to natural products, antioxidants obtained from algal and vegetal extracts are being proposed as antioxidants to be incorporated into formulations. Thus, the development of reliable, quick and economic in vitro metho...
