A new amide, baeriamide (1), along with nine known diketopiperazines (2-10), was isolated from the marine sponge Haliclona baeri. Their structures were identified by the means of UV, IR, MS and NMR. The absolute configuration of 1 was established by Marfey's method and comparing the specific optical rotation with the known compound HCO-Val-Gly methyl ester. Compound 1 was derived from dehydration of formylated L-valine with γ-amino-butanoic acid methyl ester. Compounds 2-10 were isolated from the genus of Haliclona for the first time. The absolute confirmation of 7 was confirmed first by the means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The cytotoxic, antibacterial, antiviral and antifouling activities of these compounds were also tested. However, none of them exhibited significant bioactivities.

Ten cytochalasin derivatives, including six new methylthioether-containing chaetoglobosins (thiochaetoglobosins A-F, ), a new related congener (18-nor-prochaetoglobosin II, ), and three known unsulfured counterparts (), were isolated and identified from AS-506, an endozoic fungus isolated from a deep-sea sponge, which was collected from Magellan Seamounts in the Western Pacific Ocean. Their structures were determined by extensive interpretation of the spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic data, as well as by ECD calculations. Structurally, thiochaetoglobosins A-F () represent the first examples of chaetoglobosin derivatives containing a methylthioether group in the molecules, while 18-nor-prochaetoglobosin II () is the first 18-nor-chaetoglobosin derivative.

Sponges harbour complex microbiomes and as ancient metazoans and important ecosystem players are emerging as powerful models to understand the evolution and ecology of symbiotic interactions. Metagenomic studies have previously described the functional features of sponge symbionts, however, little is known about the metabolic interactions and processes that occur under different environmental conditions. To address this issue, we construct here constraint-based, genome-scale metabolic networks for the microbiome of the sponge Stylissa sp.

Liposarcoma is one of the most prevalent forms of soft tissue sarcoma, and its prognosis is highly dependent on its molecular subtypes. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) like microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can bind various cellular targets to regulate carcinogenesis. By affecting the expressions and activities of their downstream targets post-transcriptionally, dysregulations of miRNAs can alter different oncogenic signalling pathways, mediating liposarcoma progression.
