Researchers from the Marine Biomedical Science and Technology Innovation Platform of Lin-Gang Special Area, collaborating with the International Combined Research Center for Marine Biological Sciences, have developed and assessed a marine-derived molecule called COS-diDA. This molecule is created by chemically bonding dopamine to β-chitooligosaccharides (COS) sourced from Sargassum, a type of brown seaweed. COS-diDA is essentially “chitooligosaccharide-di-dopamine amide,” resulting from bonding two dopamine molecules to COS, which are derived from chitosan in crustacean shells. However, using Sargassum reduces allergen risks compared to traditional shellfish sources. Researchers synthesized COS-diDA under mild... Read More
