How Significant Are Marine Invertebrate Collagens? Exploring Trends in Research and Innovation by Mariana Almeida, Tiago Silva, Runar Gjerp Solstad, Ana I. Lillebø, Ricardo Calado, Helena Vieira

“…The findings reveal that research dates back to the 1970s, and after a period of reduced activity, interest in collagens from several marine invertebrate groups was renewed around 2008, likely driven by the increased commercial interest in these biomolecules of marine origin. Research and development are predominantly reported from China and Japan, highlighting significant research interest in cnidarians (jellyfish), echinoderms (sea cucumbers, sea urchins and starfish), molluscs (squid and cuttlefish) and sponges. …”
