Abstract

Algae4IBD Project: Are algae the solution for inflammatory bowel disease The Algae4IBD project seeks effective treatments for a chronic disease affecting 6.8 million people. Juan F. Samaniego explores whether algae are the definitive solution for inflammatory bowel diseases. From huge kelps to invisible microalgae, algae are rich in active compounds that are potentially good for our health. However, the process of extracting and transforming them into foods and medicines that can be used on a large scale remains full of challenges. Wind and water carve the landscape of Brittany, a French region known for its wild nature, steep cliffs, and long, unspoiled beaches. Vegetation is scarce in such a rugged land, but Brittany tells a different story underwater. The east coast of the Celtic Sea, which stretches to Ireland, hosts one of the most extensive kelp forests in Europe.
