A therapeutic potential for marine skeletal proteins in bone regeneration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A vital ingredient for engineering bone tissue, in the culture dish, is the use of recombinant matrix and growth proteins to help accelerate the growth of cultivated tissues into clinically acceptable quantities.

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) destabilizes the coral microbiome

open access: yes
AbstractStony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is a rapidly spreading lethal coral disease, the etiology of which remains poorly understood. In this study, using deep metagenomic sequencing, we investigate microbial and viral community dynamics associated with SCTLD progression in the Caribbean stony coralDiploria labyrinthiformis.

Trouble in the Tank: A Case Report of Fatal Scuticociliate Encephalitis in a Whitetip Reef Shark (Triaenodon obesus)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract This case report presents a recent case of scuticociliatosis in a whitetip reef shark (Triaenodon obesus), housed at a zoo (Haus des Meeres Aqua Terra Zoo, Vienna, Austria). Clinical signs such as uncoordinated swimming and body tilt were observed prior to death.

Marine Heatwaves, Ocean Warming and Acidification Reshape Reef Fish Gut Microbiomes

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 5, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Extreme climatic events and gradual climate change are increasingly anticipated to interact and reshape ecological communities. However, the combined effects of ocean warming, acidification and marine heatwaves on host‐associated microbial communities and their potential role in host adaptation remain poorly understood.

Assisted recovery of tissue loss in massive corals Orbicella faveolata: an alternative conservation tool for restoring damaged colonies

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Introduction Coral reefs, vital for marine ecosystems and human well‐being, face drastic decline due to climate change effects. In the Caribbean, global disturbances and regional water pollution exacerbate conditions, eliciting disease outbreaks that, in synergy with coral bleaching and hurricanes, cause significant damage to key reef‐building

Untargeted Metabolomics Reveals Seasonal and Tissue‐Specific Metabolic Shifts in Holothuria cinerascens

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 2, February 2026.
Untargeted metabolic profiling of three body tissues from Holothuria cinerascens in South Africa using 1H‐NMR and UPLC–QTOF–MS revealed distinct tissue‐specific and seasonal metabolic variations, with the body wall and gut/mesentery exhibiting high metabolite diversity.

Comparing Minimally Lethal Sampling Methods for Genomics in the Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Non‐lethal genotyping of oysters is challenging due to the invasive nature of traditional tissue sampling methods. We compared four different sampling techniques on juvenile Eastern oysters, monitoring survival and DNA quality and quantity to identify the optimal approach.

Scientific divers quantify first known outbreaks of cold-water coral disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Coral diseases are widely reported in the tropics but the first incidence of cold-water coral disease was not noted until 2002 when divers recorded an outbreak at 10-28 m depth off Lundy in a NE Atlantic marine protected area.
