海藻提取物治療非霍奇金淋巴瘤

Lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system, is classified into Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's types, which are then further classified into B-cell and T-cell groups.淋巴瘤是免疫系統的癌症，分為霍奇金和非霍奇金兩種類型，然後進一步分為B細胞和T細胞組。 Seaweeds that contain fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide similar to heparin in chemical structure, have been found to have anti-tumor activity in mice and some cell lines.已發現含有岩藻依聚醣（一種化學結構類似於肝素的硫酸化多醣）的海藻在小鼠和某些細胞系中具有抗腫瘤活性。
Current studies have reported that the seaweed extract had an inhibitory effect on the growth of lymphoma cell lines, while leaving the control healthy cells intact.目前的研究報導，海藻提取物對淋巴瘤細胞系的生長具有抑製作用，而使對照健康細胞完整。 The researchers also observed a significant pattern of activity in the genes known to be relevant to apoptosis, or cell death, in lymphoma.研究人員還觀察到了已知與淋巴瘤細胞凋亡或細胞死亡相關的基因中的顯著活性模式。
