Sulfated polysaccharides: Immunomodulation and signaling mechanisms

摘要

Background: Polysaccharides are natural macromolecular polymers that are widely distributed in various food resources and have attracted much attention due to their significant bioactivities. Sulfated polysaccharides refer to polysaccharides containing sulfate groups on sugar units. A large number of studies have characterized and evaluated the biological relevance of sulfated polysaccharides, which shows great potential in terms of immunological activity.
