Phylomitogenomics bolsters the high-level classification of Demospongiae (phylum Porifera).

PLoS ONE, 2023
Class Demospongiae is the largest in the phylum Porifera (Sponges) and encompasses nearly 8,000 accepted species in three subclasses: Keratosa, Verongimorpha, and Heteroscleromorpha.

Two New Clathria Schmidt, 1862 (Porifera: Microcionidae) From Rhodolith Beds in the Southwest Atlantic, Brazil

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Rhodolith beds are structurally complex biogenic habitats recognized as important reservoirs of marine biodiversity, yet their associated sponge fauna remains poorly documented in the Southwestern Atlantic. Here, two new species of the genus Clathria Schmidt, 1862 (Microcionidae) are described from mesophotic rhodolith beds off the coast of Pernambuco,

Functionalization of sustainable biomaterial spongin through creating new 3D composites with chromium for catalytic applications

Discover Materials
The structural biocomposite spongin, which forms three-dimensional (3D) microporous skeletons in keratosan demosponges, known as the first multicellular organisms, belongs to sustainable biological materials. This study reports the first chromium tanning

Analysis of the Biomass Composition of the Demosponge Amphimedon queenslandica on Heron Island Reef, Australia

Marine Drugs, 2014
Marine sponges are a potential source of important pharmaceutical drugs, the commercialisation of which is restricted by the difficulties of obtaining a sufficient and regular supply of biomass. One way to optimize commercial cell lines for production is

Refining a molecular tool kit to capture tropicalization in Mediterranean marine protected areas

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
We assess complementarity and trade‐offs between visual census and eDNA metabarcoding for monitoring fish community changes in MPAs. Abstract Tropicalization, the process by which tropical species expand their ranges poleward due to global ocean warming, is a prominent threat to Mediterranean marine ecosystems, challenging their effective management ...

Purification and characterization of a collagenolytic enzyme from a pathogen of the great barrier reef sponge, Rhopaloeides odorabile. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:In recent years there has been a global increase in reports of disease affecting marine sponges. While disease outbreaks have the potential to seriously impact on the survival of sponge populations, the ecology of the marine environment and ...

Recovering Historical eDNA From Museum‐Preserved Filter Feeders via Non‐Destructive Metabarcoding

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent technical advances have significantly enhanced the value of museum specimens for molecular research, with metagenomic and metabarcoding approaches expanding further the utility of museum collections. However, given the finite number of specimens, there is a critical need to move past destructive DNA extraction approaches and to explore ...

Hydrocolloid‐Based Multiwavelength Stretchable QD‐OLED Patch for Simultaneous Neonatal Jaundice and Dermatitis Treatment with Biosignal Monitoring

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 11, 20 March 2026.
Comparison of therapeutic and diagnostic applications of a surface‐emitting light source with multiwavelength emission characteristics. Abstract Conventional light‐emitting‐diode‐based light sources suffer from rigidity, localized heating, and poor adaptability to skin deformation, limiting their use in skin‐attached medical devices.

3D Multicellular Scaffold Based Model for Advancing Bone Disorder Research

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 13, 12 February 2026.
A scalable 3D multicellular in vitro bone model engineered by integrating osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and endothelial cells on biodegradable scaffolds. The system recapitulates key features of human bone remodeling and disease pathology. As a proof of concept, the model mimics osteogenesis imperfecta, demonstrating its potential as a physiologically ...

Collagen from the Marine Sponges Axinella cannabina and Suberites carnosus: Isolation and Morphological, Biochemical, and Biophysical Characterization

Marine Drugs, 2017
In search of alternative and safer sources of collagen for biomedical applications, the marine demosponges Axinella cannabina and Suberites carnosus, collected from the Aegean and the Ionian Seas, respectively, were comparatively studied for their ...
