Rated 5 out of 5 by from Yang et alYang et al. (PubMed ID 26358321) found that fucoidan, a sulfated polyssacharide, inhibited diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cell growth in a dose- and time-dependent manner by causing cell cycle arrest, interfering with gene expression and inducing apoptosis. -SCBT Publication Review
