## Abstract Sponges (Porifera) are presently gaining increased scientific attention because of their secondary metabolites and specific skeleton structures. In contrast to demosponges, whose skeletons are formed from biopolymer spongin, glass sponges (hexactinellids) possess silicaβorganic composit

## Abstract The siliceous skeletons of six hexactinellids and demosponges were compared using a series of physical and chemical tests. The sponges were two hermitβcrab sponges (Class Demospongiae, family Suberitidae), one from Scotland, __Suberites domuncula__, and the other, __Pseudospongosorites
## Abstract The effect of germanium on the secretion of siliceous spicules by the freshwater sponge __Spongilla lacustris__ was investigated by exposing germinating and hatching gemmules to varying concentrations of germanium (Ge) in the presence of silicon (Si). Results were analyzed quantitativel
## Abstract The effect of functional occlusal stress on dimensional alterations of the rat incisor socket and mandible were studied from roentgenograms. In 12 rats, the lower left incisor was shortened twice weekly, whereas the lower right incisor was allowed to remain in contact with both upper in
