Identification and Antimicrobial Potential of Marine Sponges (<i>Carteriospongia foliascens</i>, <i>Callyspongia fallax</i>, and <i>Paratetilla arcifera</i>) from Kenyan Marine Waters. [PDF]
Int J MicrobiolEmerging 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.

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.
