Modelling Growth of Juvenile Crown-of-Thorns Starfish on the Northern Great Barrier Reef
The corallivorous crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster spp.) is a major cause of coral mortality on Indo-Pacific reefs. Despite considerable research into the biology of crown-of-thorns starfish, our understanding of the early post-settlement life stage

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata
Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

This work introduces a starfish‐inspired magnetic soft robot for localized, long‐term inflammatory bowel disease therapy. Featuring biomimetic multi‐arm microspines and magnetic actuation, it navigates the gastrointestinal tract, adheres firmly, and releases drugs on demand, monitored by ultrasound, with validated biosafety and ex vivo therapeutic ...
