Marine-Derived Astaxanthin: Molecular Mechanisms, Biomedical Applications, and Roles in Stem Cell Biology

Astaxanthin (ASX) is a xanthophyll carotenoid mainly derived from marine microalgae such as <i>Haematococcus pluvialis</i> and <i>Chlorella zofingiensis</i>, as well as the yeast <i>Phaffia rhodozyma</i>. Its chemical nature structure, rich in conjugated double bo...
