Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to demonstrate the utility of marine-sourced materials (from invertebrates, microbes of all types, and micro- and macro-algae as sources of such agents). Compounds should have reached the preclinical stage and be candidates for clinical trials in humans, though, depending on their source, agents at the preclinical stage can be considered on their merits.
