An update on the landscape of collagen bioactive fragments
The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 13, Page 4064-4084, July 2026.The remodeling of the extracellular matrix releases collagen bioactive fragments, which exert molecular functions and regulate numerous biological processes via several signaling pathways. Here, we summarize the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and ...

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 639-651, July 2026.ABSTRACT Hadal environments (> 6000 m ocean depths) are often viewed as isolated locations with high species endemism due to limited dispersal. However, molecular studies continue to reveal greater complexity that questions historical perceptions. Recent population genetic studies focused on scavenging amphipods have identified broadly distributed ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Aim The biogeography and evolution of South African sea cucumbers have been previously explored; however, these aspects lack detailed study. This study (1) explores the biogeography of sea cucumbers along the coastline of South Africa (SA) and (2) presents a preliminary molecular phylogeny based on the mitochondrial 16S marker.

Free Sterol Composition of Deep-Sea Holothurian cf.
Natural Product Communications, 2022 The free sterol fraction from the deep-sea holothurian Orphnurgus cf glaber Walsh, 1891, has been isolated and studied by GC–MS. Sterols containing Δ 7 , Δ 0 , Δ 5 , polyunsaturated and 5,8-epidioxy modified cores were found.
