6 | CONCLUSION
As important biomedical resources for the discovery of marine drugs,
bioactive molecules, and agents for treatment of infectious diseases and
mNCDs, current MNPs have bioactive potentials of antioxidant,
anti-infection, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, anti-diabetic effects,
and cancer treatment by improvement of human immunity. They are not only
huge and novel biomedical resources for anti-infection of the SARS-CoV-2
and its major variants (Delta and Omicron), but also promising
biomedical resources for control and prevention of irCVD. Herein, it’s
time to protect this ecosystem for better sustainable development in the
new era of ocean economy.
