Galactofucan shows great potential against herpes simplex virus due to its inhibition of viral binding and entry into the host cell.


Brown algae have contributed to medicine through a compound called galactofucan (GFS); a sulphated polysaccharide.


Brown algae are large group of marine mutlicellular algae that includes seaweeds. http://t.co/kLiLDoVWzQ

Starfish could hold the key to finding a new treatment for inflammatory conditions such as asthma, hay fever and arthritis.


This slime may inspire a treatment 2 coat blood vessels 2 prevent white blood cell sticking 2 it due 2 inflammation causing tissue damage.


The slimy coat grabbed the attention of medical scientist to a species called Marthasterias glacialis in particular http://t.co/hIEPie2GOW

Starfish developed a protection strategy against bacteria and viruses; it produces a slimy coat that acts as an anti-fouling surface.


Starfish is a benthic invertebrate; it went through billion years of evolution 2 reach its sophisticated design. http://t.co/MhX7sR9n98

This pathway of pain inhibition is more efficient than morphine in terms of degree and length; it lacks morphine’s addictive side effects.


The drug works by blocking calcium channels in the spinal cord, which control neurotransmission at many synapses.


Conotoxins has fascinated researchers; a product of this poison is a drug called prialt (ziconotide), used in treatment of chronic pain.


Magical cone is a venomous snail.Their venom contains conotoxins; a powerful neurotoxic used to paralyze or kill fish http://t.co/8xFmFSYvLe

Hydroxyapatite (HA) can be injected 2 the broken area where it fuses 2 the existing bone & builds it, this process is called bone grafting.


From Corals skeleton hydroxyapatite (HA) is the product that has similar properties to human bone.


Corals skeleton is a material of interest in orthopaedic biomaterial due 2 its chemical & structural properties as a substitute 4 human bone


Corals secrete hard carbonate exoskeletons to support and protect their bodies. http://t.co/RbDB3rCA2T

For this reason sharks' IgNAR has a great potential in stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing.


IgNAR attachment regions are very small thus can fit into spaces that human antibodies cannot.
