Fucoidan Can Alleviate Cerebrovascular Damage in Type 2 Diabetes Mice
In the global diabetic patients, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients account for the majority. Fucoidan, a kind of sulfated polysaccharides present in brown algae, is considered as a promising therapeutic agent because of its multiply bioactivities...In the global diabetic patients, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients account for the majority.

Climate Warming Causes Northward shift in Southern Limit of Seagrass Zostera marina
Global warming has resulted in an increase of the average upper ocean temperature by 0.07°C per decade. These temperature increases affect marine species and ecosystems in many ways, including enhanced mortality of key habitat-forming species such as s...Global warming has resulted in an increase of the average upper ocean temperature by 0.07°C per decade.

How Do Harmful Algal Blooms Change under Eutrophication and Warming Scenarios?
Under the combined impacts of global warming, eutrophication, and other driving forces, harmful algal blooms (HABs) worldwide are experiencing obvious changes. Around 2000, an apparent shift of bloom-causative microalgae from diatoms to dinoflagellates ...Under the combined impacts of global warming, eutrophication, and other driving forces, harmful algal blooms (HABs) worldwide are experiencing obvious changes.

Study Provides New Insights into Immunomodulatory Effects of Fucoidans from Saccharina japonica
Scavenger receptors (SRs) have been shown to participate in regulating the immune response of macrophages. Fucoidans from kelp have good immunomodulatory activity, however, the roles of SRs in the immunomodulatory activity of fucoidan from Saccharina ja...Scavenger receptors (SRs) have been shown to participate in regulating the immune response of macrophages.

What Causes Compound Wind and Precipitation Extremes Across the Indo-Pacific?
Co-occurrences of wind extremes and precipitation extremes, known as compound wind and precipitation extremes (CWPEs), can disrupt and endanger shipment and shipping logistics. The associated winds and floods may cause severe socio-economic impacts in c...Co-occurrences of wind extremes and precipitation extremes, known as compound wind and precipitation extremes (CWPEs), can disrupt and endanger shipment and shipping logistics.

Foxl2 and Dmrt1 Play Important Roles in Fish Sex Phenotype Formation
Study on fish sex differentiation is important both from academic and practical aspects, as sexual dimorphism is widespread in fish species. Forkhead transcription factor 2 (Foxl2) and doublesex and mab-3-related transcription factor 1 (Dmrt1) have been...Study on fish sex differentiation is important both from academic and practical aspects, as sexual dimorphism is widespread in fish species.

Quantifying Global Ocean Inhomogeneity and Exploring Its Evolution in Climate Change
The ocean is intrinsically inhomogeneous in temperature and salinity. This inhomogeneity fundamentally influences physical and biogeochemical processes of oceans, causing mixing of water masses, and shaping three-dimensional geostrophic circulations. Th...The ocean is intrinsically inhomogeneous in temperature and salinity.

First Deep-sea Crustacean Genome Uncovers Body Gigantism and Deep-sea Adaptation
The deep-sea environment is characterized by darkness, low temperature, high hydrostatic pressure and lack of food. Despite hostile environment, a growing number of deep-dwelling animals have been identified in this ecosystem, including worms, molluscs,...The deep-sea environment is characterized by darkness, low temperature, high hydrostatic pressure and lack of food.
