The early expansion and evolutionary dynamics of POU class genes. [PDF]
, 2014 The POU genes represent a diverse class of animal-specific transcription factors that play important roles in neurogenesis, pluripotency, and cell-type specification. Although previous attempts have been made to reconstruct the evolution of the POU class,

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Emerging and re‐emerging infectious diseases and pathogens present a significant global public health threat that has led researchers to focus on discovering new antimicrobial agents in order to address the challenge. Sponges are a promising source of marine natural products, which can be used as lead molecules for drug discovery.

Bioactivity of Spongian Diterpenoid Scaffolds from the Antarctic Sponge Dendrilla antarctica
Marine Drugs, 2020 The Antarctic sponge Dendrilla antarctica is rich in defensive terpenoids with promising antimicrobial potential. Investigation of this demosponge has resulted in the generation of a small chemical library containing diterpenoid secondary metabolites ...

Demosponge steroid biomarker 26-methylstigmastane provides evidence for Neoproterozoic animals [PDF]
, 2018 Sterane biomarkers preserved in ancient sedimentary rocks hold promise for tracking the diversification and ecological expansion of eukaryotes. The earliest proposed animal biomarkers from demosponges (Demospongiae) are recorded in a sequence around 100 ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 342, Issue 8, Page 503-528, December 2024.We describe a technique for triggering asexual reproduction by budding in vitro and have monitored bud development. The natural properties of Oscarella lobularis buds and the technical tools we developed make them a new biological system for getting insights into sponge molecular and cellular processes.

Bioinspiring Chondrosia reniformis (Nardo, 1847) collagen-based hydrogel: a new extraction method to obtain a sticky and self-healing collagenous material [PDF]
, 2017 Collagen is a natural and abundant polymer that serves multiple functions in both invertebrates and vertebrates. As collagen is the natural scaffolding for cells, collagen-based hydrogels are regarded as ideal materials for tissue engineering ...

Vertical Transmission of a Phylogenetically Complex Microbial Consortium in the Viviparous Sponge \u3cem\u3eIrcinia Felix\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2007 Many marine demosponges contain large amounts of phylogenetically complex yet highly sponge-specific microbial consortia within the mesohyl matrix, but little is known about how these microorganisms are acquired by their hosts.

L’Argile de La Pérade : nouvelle unité marine antérieure au Wisconsinien supérieur, vallée du Saint-Laurent, Québec [PDF]
, 1990 L'Argile de La Pérade témoigne d'un nouvel épisode marin dans la vallée du Saint-Laurent, antérieur à l'Interstade de Saint-Pierre. Le nom de Mer de Cartier est formellement proposé pour désigner cette transgression marine. La nouvelle unité marine a été

Marine Drugs, 2010 In this study we demonstrate that the demosponge Suberites domuncula harbors a Mn(II)-oxidizing bacterium, a Bacillus strain, termed BAC-SubDo-03. Our studies showed that Mn(II) stimulates bacterial growth and induces sporulation.
