Different Species of Marine Sponges Diverge in Osteogenic Potential When Therapeutically Applied as Natural Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration in Rats

Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 2023
A highly porous structure, and an inorganic (biosilica) and collagen-like organic content (spongin) makes marine sponges potential candidates to be used as natural scaffolds in bone tissue engineering.

Metabolites and Bioactivity of the Marine Xestospongia Sponges (Porifera, Demospongiae, Haplosclerida) of Southeast Asian Waters

Biomolecules, 2023
Sponges are aquatic, spineless organisms that belong to the phylum Porifera. They come in three primary classes: Hexactinellidae, Demospongiae, and Calcarea. The Demospongiae class is the most dominant, making up over 90% of sponge species.

Eocene phymaraphiniid demosponges from South Western Australia: filling the gap

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2023
We describe two new genera of phymaraphiniid lithistid sponges Twertupia gen. nov. and Pickettispongia gen. nov. from the upper Eocene Pallinup Formation of South Western (SW) Australia based on new, rich and very well preserved material. Type material

Sponging up diversity: Evaluating metabarcoding performance for a taxonomically challenging phylum within a complex cryptobenthic community

Environmental DNA, 2022
Despite their ecological importance, sponges are often avoided in biodiversity studies and monitoring programs because they are notoriously difficult to identify using morphological or molecular methods. Here, we investigate the metabarcoding performance

Implementation of the benefits of symbiotic bacteria in Demospongiae sponges in Indonesian waters using the literature study method [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
A Demospongiae sponge is an organism that can interact with symbiotic bacteria. Symbiotic bacteria form a specific mutualistic symbiosis that creates a stable and beneficial association with their hosts. This review examines the diversity and benefits of
