Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) is a hydrolyzate of the structural polysaccharide, chitin, extracted from crab and shrimp shells, which has significant health benefits for humans including boosting immunity. However, there is limited information on the potential use of COS for sheep health and production. We supplemented COS via a loose lick to preg...

Simple Summary Diatoms are microalgae known for their ecological importance. Among them, just a few species are able to produce a blue pigment. We describe Haslea silbo sp. nov., a cosmopolitan species of blue diatoms, found on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. The description includes the use of both microscopy and next generation sequencing. It h...
Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) have a wide range of biological activities. Most researchers discuss total APS as the main research object. However, because the relative molecular weight of APS has a wide distribution, in-depth studies on the mechanisms of the biological activity of notable molecules are limited. For example, the relationship betw...

It is proven that beta-amyloid (A beta) aggregates containing cross-beta-sheet structures led to oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and neuronal loss via multiple pathways. Therefore, reduction of A beta neurotoxicity via inhibiting aggregation of A beta or dissociating toxic A beta aggregates into nontoxic forms might be effective therapeutic me...

Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) are the hydrolyzed product of chitosan and have multifunctional health benefits. The objective of this study was to elucidate the effect of COS as a dietary supplement to gilts on their productivity and health and that of their litters. Gilts were randomly assigned to either a treatment (n = 30) or control group (n =...
