Variability of Kappaphycus alvarezii cultivation in South-Sulawesi (Indonesia) related to the monsoon shift: Water quality, growth and colour quantification by Laurent Barillé, Iona L.R. Paterson, Simon Oiry, Agus Aris, Elizabeth J. Cook-Cottier, Nurjannah Nurdin

“…A decrease in the greenness optical index at 550 nm was observed at the end of each cultivation cycle, with the thalli appearing darker. This study showed marked variations in growth rates, with significantly higher growth during the wet West monsoon, in conjunction with a higher risk of production loss due to the prevalence of ice-ice disease.…”

Comparative analysis of lactaptin activity when produced in bacterial or eukaryotic expression systems by O. A. Koval, O. Y. Volkova, A. A. Gorchakov, S. V. Kulemzin, A. V. Tkachenko, A. A. Nushtaeva, E. V. Kuligina, V. A. Richter, A. V. Taranin

“…Given that lactaptin is of human origin and is not immunogenic, it can be administered to patients multiple times without running the risk of immune response that could dampen the therapy efficacy. In the present study, we demonstrate that the combination of RL2 and cyclophosphamide treatments has an additive therapeutic effect against hepatoma tumor in immunocompetent mice. …”
