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

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 ...

Sustainable bioceramics, biopolymers, and composites for bone applications: From bench to production

International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 23, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract In response to environmental challenges and primary resource scarcity, sustainable approaches that rely on recycling and reusing waste materials are becoming highly valuable and appealing options in modern society. These strategies have started being applied in biomaterials science, too, leading to the advent of new synergies between ...

Genomic Connectivity and Adaptation Signals of the Freshwater Sponge Ephydatia muelleri Across Its Distribution

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Genetic connectivity and local adaptation were examined across the distribution of the freshwater sponge Ephydatia muelleri. Because it occupies an exceptional breadth of freshwater environments across a broad geographic range, this species offers key insights into biogeographic processes shaping genetic structure and adaptation in inland ...

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 ...

Moving Beyond Morphology: Genomic Insights Into Evolutionary Histories of Haplosclerid Sponges

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 177-194, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate taxonomic identification is essential for defining species boundaries and understanding biodiversity. However, this remains challenging for groups where morphological character evolution is poorly understood or diagnostic traits are absent.

Direct Development of Golf Ball Sponges, Genus Craniella (Demospongiae, Tetractinellida) From the Northeast Atlantic Ocean

Molecular Reproduction and Development, Volume 92, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Among the eight types of development in sponges, the least common and least studied is direct, non‐larval development during viviparity. To supplement our knowledge of this rare type of demosponge development, we present here a description of the embryonic development of four species of the genus Craniella (Demospongiae, order Tetractinellida)

Revisiting the silicon isotopic signal of sponge skeletons and its implications

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 70, Issue 9, Page 2480-2495, September 2025.
Abstract This study investigates the relationship between the silicon (Si) isotopic composition of sponge skeletal silica (δ30SibSi) and seawater characteristics in sponge habitats, specifically the concentration of dissolved silicic acid and its Si isotopic signature (δ30SidSi).
