Objective: To study the secondary metabolites from the marine sponge Phakellia fusca epiphytic fungi.
Methods: The compounds were isolated by column chromatography over silica gel and purified by Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography and preparative TLC. The structures were elucidated by means of physiochemical properties and spectroscopic analyses.
Results: Four compounds were separated and identified as: cyclo-(L-Val-L-Pro) (1), cyclo-(L-Phe-L-Pro) (2), cyclo-(L-Tyr-L-Pro) (3), cyclo-(3-hydroxy-4-methyldecanoyl-Gly-L-Val-D-Leu-L-Ala-L-Phe) (4).
Conclusion: Compounds 1-4 are obtained from the marine sponge Phakellia fusca epiphytic fungi for the first time.

Spatial changes in benthic community structure have been observed across natural gradients in deep-sea ecosystems, but these patterns remain under-sampled on seamounts. Here, we identify the spatial composition and distribution of coral and sponge taxa on four sides of a single central Pacific equatorial "model" seamount within the US EEZ surrounding the Howland and Baker unit of the Pacific Islands Heritage Marine National Monument. This seamount rises from 5,000 + m to mesophotic depths of 196 m, and is influenced by the Equatorial Undercurrent.

Introduction: Lung cancer is recognized as a highly lethal disease, demanding swift and accurate solutions. Previous analysis showed the cytotoxic impact of extract containing ergost-22-en-3-one and ergost-7-en3-ol against A549 lung cancer cells, with an IC value of 9.38 μg/mL.

As cold-blooded vertebrates, fish are sensitive to environmental changes. The outcome of pathogen infections in fish therefore is highly shaped by hypoxia. The epigenetic regulation of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) bridging non-coding RNAs and mRNAs represents a promising mechanism modulating antibacterial response plus environmental stress.

Rapid control of hemorrhage is vital in first-aid and surgery. As representative of emergency hemostatic materials, inorganic porous materials achieve rapid hemostasis through concentrating protein coagulation factors by water adsorption to accelerate the coagulation reaction process, however their efficacy is often limited by the insufficient contact of material with blood and the lack of blood clot strength. Herein, we report an ultrafast dispersing and in situ gelation sponge (SG/DB) based on anchoring interface effect for hemorrhage control using freeze drying method after mixing fish scale gel (SG) and tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) pre-crystallized diatom biosilica (DB).
