New Source of 3D Chitin Scaffolds: The Red Sea Demosponge <i>Pseudoceratina arabica</i> (Pseudoceratinidae, Verongiida)

New Source of 3D Chitin Scaffolds: The Red Sea Demosponge <i>Pseudoceratina arabica</i> (Pseudoceratinidae, Verongiida)

The bioactive bromotyrosine-derived alkaloids and unique morphologically-defined fibrous skeleton of chitin origin have been found recently in marine demosponges of the order Verongiida. The sophisticated three-dimensional (3D) structure of skeletal chitinous scaffolds supported their use in biomedi...
