Investigation of the inverse problem for the Arrhenius equation using the example of thermal degradation of spongin-based scaffolds

Scientific Reports, 2023
A mathematical description of the thermal degradation of spongin-based scaffolds is given. The Arrhenius integral was evaluated using the inverse problem approach, in which the unknown values were the activation energy E A , the pre-exponential factor A,

Discovery of mammalian collagens I and III within ancient poriferan biopolymer spongin

Nature Communications
Spongin is a fundamental biopolymer that has played a crucial role in the skeletogenesis of keratosan sponges for over 800 million years. This biomaterial had so far remained chemically unidentified and believed to be an enigmatic type of halogenated ...

Arinosaster patriciae (Porifera, Demospongiae): new genus and species and the second record of a cave freshwater sponge from Brazil [PDF]

Neotropical Biology and Conservation, 2021
Arinosaster patriciae gen. nov. et sp. nov. is the second continental sponge registered for a subterranean environment (cave habitat) in Brazil and the Neotropical Region. The sponges were recorded and collected in a 5m depth technical dive in a sinkhole

The role and molecular mechanism of metabolic reprogramming of colorectal cancer by UBR5 through PYK2 regulation of OXPHOS expression study

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 37, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is the third most malignant tumor in the world, but the key mechanisms of CRC progression have not been confirmed. UBR5 and PYK2 expression levels were detected by RT‐qPCR. The levels of UBR5, PYK2, and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complexes were detected by western blot analysis.

Optimized DNA isolation from marine sponges for natural sampler DNA metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 438-461, May 2023., 2023
Marine sponges have recently been recognized as natural samplers of environmental DNA (eDNA) due to their effective water filtration and their ubiquitous, sessile, and regenerative nature. We used a phased approach to investigate the influence of DNA isolation procedures on the biodiversity information recovered from sponges.

Potential Biomedical Applications of Collagen Filaments derived from the Marine Demosponges Ircinia oros (Schmidt, 1864) and Sarcotragus foetidus (Schmidt, 1862)

Marine Drugs, 2021
Collagen filaments derived from the two marine demosponges Ircinia oros and Sarcotragus foetidus were for the first time isolated, biochemically characterised and tested for their potential use in regenerative medicine.

Marine heatwaves drive recurrent mass mortalities in the Mediterranean Sea

Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 19, Page 5708-5725, October 2022., 2022
During the 2015‐2019 period, the Mediterranean Sea has experienced exceptional marine heatwaves conditions resulting in the onset of five consecutive years of widespread MMEs across the basin. These MMEs affected thousands of kilometers of coastline from the surface to 45 m depth, across a range of marine habitats and taxa (50 taxa across 8 phyla).

Collagenic architecture and morphotraits in a marine basal metazoan as a model for bioinspired applied research

Journal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 5, Page 585-604, May 2022., 2022
A prototype of connective system, almost exclusively based on collagenic networks, is zoomed in the model sponge Ircinia retidermata (Porifera: Keratosa). We focused on topographic distribution, spatial layout, microtraits, and/or morphogenesis of these collagenic structures. Ectosome and outer endosome are the active fibrogenetic areas where exogenous
