Abstract
Marine organisms are important sources for bioactive molecules that have been developed into treatments for various diseases. The unusual marine environment associated with chemical diversity constitutes an actually unlimited resource of new active substances in the field of the development of bioactive products. In this review, the molecular diversity of marine peptides is described as well as information about their anti-inflammatory properties and mechanisms of action. Moreover, novel bioactive peptides from sponges, bacterium and microalgae are also described with their pharmacological effects in relation with anti-inflammation.
Keywords: Marine peptides, anti-inflammation, marine organism.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
