Abstract: The blue biliprotein phycocyanin, produced by photo‐autotrophic cyanobacteria including spirulina (Arthrospira) and marketed as a natural food supplement or “nutraceutical,” is reported to have anti‐inflammatory, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and anticancer activity. These diverse biological activities have… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms232415983
Abstract: The cysteine protease legumain (also known as asparaginyl endopeptidase or δ-secretase) is the only known mammalian asparaginyl endopeptidase and is primarily localized to the endolysosomal system, although it is also found extracellularly as a secreted… read more here.
