Currently, seaweed represents a vast source of raw materials used in the pharmaceutical, food, traditional medicine, and cosmetics industries. They are nutritionally valuable, both fresh and dried, or as ingredients in a wide variety of pre-made foods. In particular, seaweed contains significant amounts of protein, lipids, minerals, and vitamins. Information is limited on the role of algae and their metabolites in therapy. Only a few taxa have been studied for use in medicine. Many traditional cultures report the healing powers of selected algae in tropical and subtropical marine forms. This is especially true in the maritime areas of Asia, where the sea plays a significant role in daily activities. However, currently, only a few genera and species of algae are involved in aspects of medicine and therapy. The beneficial uses of seaweed or seaweed products include those that can mimic specific manifestations of human disease, production of antibiotic compounds, or improved human nutrition.Biology, life sciencesbicsscadjuvantagriculturealginatealkaline phosphataseanticoagulant activityantigen-specific antibodyantitumour activityBlack Seabromophenolscancer stem cellscarotenoidscarrageenanchemical riskchemical sulfationchlorophyllscolorectal cancerCystoseira barbatacytotoxicitydiffusion modelEcklonia cavaedible seaweedenzymatic extractsEPAfeedfoodFTIR-ATRfunctional substanceHDL-Chealthhealth functionalityheavy metals adsorptionHPLChuBM-MSCisolationkeratinocytesLDL-Clow molecular weight fucoidanmacro algaemacroalgae/seaweedmarine algaemicrobial riskmineralsmono and polysaccharidesMycoplasma pneumoniaen-3 PUFAsn/anatural resourcesNK cellNMRnutritional valueomics-based technologyOsmundea pinnatifidaosteoblastparticulate matterphlorofucofuroeckol Aphlorotanninprocessed laver productprocessing technologyquantificationraw laverreactive oxygen speciesSargassum muticumseaweedsTCTC reductionTGUlva rigidaulvanBiology, life sciencesPereira Leonelauth1296958BOOK9910404089303321Characterization of Bioactive Components in Edible Algae3024331UNINA
