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.

PLoS ONE, 2015 The advent of deep-sea exploration using video cameras has uncovered extensive sponge aggregations in virtually all oceans. Yet, a distinct type is herein reported from the Mediterranean: a monospecific reef-like formation built by the lithistid ...

The Skeletal Amino Acid Composition of the Marine Demosponge Aplysina cavernicola
Marine Drugs, 2014 It has been discovered during the past few years that demosponges of the order Verongida such as Aplysina cavernicola exhibit chitin-based skeletons. Verongida sponges are well known to produce bioactive brominated tyrosine derivatives. We could recently

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.

Coralline demosponges ; a geobiological portrait
, 2001 The polyphyletic coralline demosponges possess a calcareous basal skeleton of 4 major morphotypes. Each has its own phylogenetic history, with different mechanisms of formation. One extant taxon of each skeletal type has been investigated, and its biochemical (e.g., intracrystalline organic matrix proteins), geochemical (e.g., stable isotopes), and ...

The HMA-LMA dichotomy revisited: an electronmicroscopical survey of 56 sponge species [PDF]
, 2014 The dichotomy between high microbial abundance (HMA) and low microbial abundance (LMA) sponges has been long recognized. In the present study, 56 sponge species from three geographic regions (greater Caribbean, Mediterranean, Red Sea) were investigated ...

Sponge grade body fossil with cellular resolution dating 60 Myr before the Cambrian [PDF]
, 2015 An extraordinarily well preserved, 600-million-year (Myr)-old, three-dimensionally phosphatized fossil displaying multiple independent characters of modern adult sponges has been analyzed by SEM and synchrotron X-ray tomography.

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.

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).
