Potential biomedical applications of marine algae

Wang, Hui-Min David, Li, Xiao-Chun, Lee, Duu-Jong, Chang, Jo-Shu·2017·Bioresource Technology

Abstract

Functional components extracted from algal biomass are widely used as dietary and health supplements with a variety of applications in food science and technology. In contrast, the applications of algae in dermal-related products have received much less attention, despite that algae also possess high potential for the uses in anti-infection, anti-aging, skin-whitening, and skin tumor treatments. This review, therefore, focuses on integrating studies on algae pertinent to human skin care, health and therapy. The active compounds in algae related to human skin treatments are mentioned and the possible mechanisms involved are described. The main purpose of this review is to identify serviceable algae functions in skin treatments to facilitate practical applications in this high-potential area.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Marine macroalgae possess a wide range of bioactivities, such as anti-aging, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective activity.

    “Due to the presence of biocompounds in macroalgae, they possess a wide range of bioactivities, such as anti-aging, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and neuroprotective activity [5,6,7].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
