The mucosal immune system is recognized as the earliest form of immunity to develop in vertebrates, representing a fundamental aspect of our biological defense mechanisms. Adult humans have a mucosal surface area of approximately 400 square meters, dwarfing the 2 square meters of skin surface area. This extensive mucosal layer is not only readily observable but also envelopes numerous internal and external passages, functioning as a critical protective barrier. Compromises to mucosal integrity, whether due to health decline, immunodeficiency, or medication side effects, can facilitate the easier penetration and invasion of viruses and pathogens into the body.
The mucosa serves as a vital frontline defense against pathogenic agents, playing an indispensable role in the prevention of infectious diseases. Considering its widespread presence across essential organs, the systemic protection and upkeep of mucosal tissues are increasingly emphasized as central concerns in contemporary medical research and practice.
The joint project will harness Utrecht University's academic excellence and leading-edge research on respiratory disease models, aiming to identify the most effective polysaccharide composition for COPD. This venture is not just a step toward enhancing the therapeutic potential of aloe polysaccharides in respiratory ailments but also sets the stage for future pharmaceutical developments targeting mucosal diseases of the respiratory tract.
Utrecht University's prominent position in the field of respiratory disease models in the Netherlands and Europe lends significant credibility to this partnership. DAZZEON Biotech looks forward to working with Utrecht University to spearhead breakthroughs in medical research, offering new treatment hopes to patients with chronic respiratory conditions.
Through this groundbreaking collaboration, we will leverage the Amsterdam University Medical Center's expertise and technological advancements in medical device development to create a new generation of pulmonary treatment options. We aim to address the longstanding challenge of inadequate drug delivery in pulmonary inhalation treatments, offering patients a more precise and comprehensive therapeutic approach.
This year, 2024, we are further advancing our efforts by launching a new program to nurture promising sports talents, responding to the government's call to promote sports development. Through sponsoring emerging athletes, we aim to solidify our foundational support for sports talent, highly recognizing their value and injecting new momentum into Taiwan's sports industry.
DAZZEON Biotech has confirmed its sponsorship of Taiwanese golfer Babe Liu and completed the corporate sponsorship signing ceremony in February. We look forward to Babe Liu's outstanding performance in the upcoming Japan Ladies Professional Golf Tour (JLPGA) and wish her a bright future.

Polysaccharides are complex polymers made up of multiple monosaccharide units linked together. Numerous studies have highlighted their significant benefits for human health, including enhancing immune capabilities and improving the body’s response to external harmful substances.
Functional polysaccharides, renowned for their health benefits, include those from Cordyceps, Antrodia camphorata, Ganoderma lucidum, and Agaricus blazei, all of which are fungal in origin. However, plants also contain a rich array of bioactive polysaccharides and nutrients, presenting substantial potential for development and application.
Aloe vera is a medicinal plant with a long history of use around the world, dating back to ancient Egypt and China, where it was primarily used topically on the skin and occasionally ingested in small amounts. The main reason for its cautious use is the presence of ‘Aloin’, a hydroxyanthracene derivative found in aloe leaves. Recent international studies have raised safety concerns about long-term consumption of foods and dietary supplements containing hydroxyanthracene derivatives.
MannanPRO® Aloe Vera Extract Powder, produced from the inner leaf pulp of aloe vera, has been tested by independent third-party laboratories and found to contain less than 1 ppm (part per million) of aloin, ensuring that it is safe and trustworthy for use.
Scientific research has highlighted the high applicational value of aloe vera, including its soothing, moisturizing, antibacterial (against bacteria and viruses), anti-inflammatory, itch-relieving, burn soothing, wound healing, ulcer mitigation, liver protecting, constipation improving, and immune-boosting properties. Due to its numerous bioactive effects, aloe vera is extensively used as an ingredient in both food products and cosmetics.
MannanPRO® Aloe Vera Extract Powder, a product of DAZZEON Biotech, which not only focuses on R&D but also owns its manufacturing facilities adhering to ISO and HACCP standards. The product is made from certified species of aloe vera using a patented technology platform, and undergoes rigorous scientific validation. With a purity of over 50% of the key active polysaccharide—Acemannan—it offers several times the potency of typical aloe extracts available in the market, highlighting its pharmaceutical-grade application.
