Bioactivity of Biosilica Obtained From North Atlantic Deep-Sea Sponges
Dudik, Olesia; Amorim, Sara; Xavier, Joana R.; Rapp, Hans Tore; Silva, Tiago H.; Pires, Ricardo A.; Reis, Rui L. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-17)Demosponges are a well-known source of a plethora of bioactive compounds. In particular, they are able to form a skeleton by direct deposition of silica in a process catalyzed by silicatein. Herein, we isolated biosilicas ... -
Macro and Microstructural Characteristics of North Atlantic Deep-Sea Sponges as Bioinspired Models for Tissue Engineering Scaffolding
Martins, Eva; Rapp, Hans Tore; Xavier, Joana R.; Diogo, Gabriela S.; Reis, Rui L.; Silva, Tiago H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Sponges occur ubiquitously in the marine realm and in some deep-sea areas they dominate the benthic communities forming complex biogenic habitats – sponge grounds, aggregations, gardens and reefs. However, deep-sea sponges ...
