Unravelling the Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Potential of the Marine Sponge <i>Cliona celata</i> from the Portuguese Coastline

Inflammation is a double-edged sword, as it can have both protective effects and harmful consequences, which, combined with oxidative stress (OS), can lead to the development of deathly chronic inflammatory conditions. Over the years, research has evidenced the potential of marine sponges as a sourc...
