In Situ Aquaculture Methods for Dysidea avara (Demospongiae, Porifera) in the Northwestern Mediterranean

Marine Drugs, 2010
Marine sponges produce secondary metabolites that can be used as a natural source for the design of new drugs and cosmetics. There is, however, a supply problem with these natural substances for research and eventual commercialisation of the products. In

Traditional and Modern Biomedical Prospecting: Part II—The Benefits

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 133-144, 2004., 2004
The progress in molecular and cell biology has enabled a rational exploitation of the natural resources of the secondary metabolites and biomaterials from sponges (phylum Porifera). It could be established that these natural substances are superior for biomedical application to those obtained by the traditional combinatorial chemical approach.
