Versions Notes Abstract The marine environment is an excellent resource for natural products with therapeutic potential. Its microbial inhabitants, often associated with other marine organisms, are specialized in the synthesis of bioactive secondary metabolites. Similar to their terrestrial counterparts, marine...
Versions Notes Abstract Neurodegenerative diseases are sociosanitary challenges of today, as a result of increased average life expectancy, with Alzheimer’s disease being one of the most prevalent. This pathology is characterized by brain impairment linked to a neurodegenerative process culminating in cog...
The proposed benefits to fisheries from marine parks include: protection or insurance against overfishing; “spillover”, where larvae or juveniles from the parks move out and increase the overall production; habitat protection from damaging fishing gear; and managing the ecosystem effects of fishing s...
Versions Notes Abstract Seaweed produces metabolites aiding in the protection against different environmental stresses. These compounds show antiviral, antiprotozoal, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. Macroalgae can be cultured in high volumes and would represent an attractive source of potential compo...
It is reported that MPs can act as vectors for environmental contaminants in copepods, potentially increasing the bioavailability and hazards of toxicants in the marine ecosystem. However, the current understanding of the biological effects of microplastics in copepods is still limited. Many previous ...
In addition, the ‘metabolite-likeness’ of natural products (i.e., their ability to act as substrates in one or more cellular systems) can facilitate the delivery of such compounds to their ultimate active sites via their binding to transporters [6]. All of these properties or features ...
Versions Notes Abstract This study comprehensively assesses the release rate of biocides, corrosion effects related to antifouling, and the physical properties of different paint types. Tests were conducted to measure thickness, viscosity, hardness, bending, adhesion, gloss, impact resistance, abrasion res...
Versions Notes Simple Summary Over the past several decades, the attention paid to the physical needs of marine mammals in zoos and aquariums has led to steady improvements in their physical well-being. Up until now, however, we haven’t paid as much attention to their cognitive needs. Studies...
