A therapeutic potential for marine skeletal proteins in bone regeneration [PDF]
, 2013 A vital ingredient for engineering bone tissue, in the culture dish, is the use of recombinant matrix and growth proteins to help accelerate the growth of cultivated tissues into clinically acceptable quantities.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.In this study we use ONT Flongle Flowcells to produced DNA barcodes for 146 seagrass associated marine invertebrate OTUs collected from four seagrass beds in Scotland, targeting COI and 18S V4 regions. We generate the first DNA barcode reference library for seagrass beds in Scotland to support future biomonitoring of these priority habitats.

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 92, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT We characterized the morphogenetic processes of larval metamorphosis and the development of the olynthus and heterocoelic aquiferous system (AS) in Sycettusa hastifera (syconoid) and Paraleucilla magna (leuconoid) (Porifera, Calcarea). Metamorphosis and development up to the olynthus were similar in both species.

Sponge community of the western Black Sea shallow water caves: diversity and spatial distribution [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Marine caves possess unique biocoenotic and ecological characteristics. Sessile benthic species such as sponges associated with cave habitats typically show a marked zonation from the cave entrance towards the end of the cave.

Putative cross-kingdom horizontal gene transfer in sponge (Porifera) mitochondria [PDF]
, 2006 Background The mitochondrial genome of Metazoa is usually a compact molecule without introns. Exceptions to this rule have been reported only in corals and sea anemones (Cnidaria), in which group I introns have been discovered in the cox1 and nad5 genes.

Revisiting the silicon isotopic signal of sponge skeletons and its implications
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 9, Page 2480-2495, September 2025.Abstract This study investigates the relationship between the silicon (Si) isotopic composition of sponge skeletal silica (δ30SibSi) and seawater characteristics in sponge habitats, specifically the concentration of dissolved silicic acid and its Si isotopic signature (δ30SidSi).

Metazoan Diversity and Its Drivers: An eDNA Survey in the Pacific Gateway of a Changing Arctic Ocean
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 2, March/April 2025.In the face of climate change, organisms must adapt or shift their ranges to survive. Our study conducted the first COI marker‐based eDNA survey in the Pacific Gateway of the Arctic Ocean, analyzing seawater samples from the Bering Strait and Chukchi Sea.
