Potential Impacts of Climate Interventions on Marine Ecosystems

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Rising global temperatures pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries. Recent comprehensive assessments suggest that large‐scale mitigation efforts to limit warming are falling short, and all feasible future climate projections, including those that represent optimistic emissions reductions, exceed the Paris ...

Laminar Fluid Ejection for Olfactory Drug Delivery: A Proof of Concept Study

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine
Focal intranasal drug delivery to the olfactory cleft is a promising avenue for pharmaceuticals targeting the brain. However, traditional nasal sprays often fail to deliver enough medication to this specific area. We present a laminar fluid ejection (LFE)

Sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria, Populations on Gulf of Alaska Seamounts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria, were tagged and released on Gulf of Alaska seamounts during 1999–2002 to determine the extent, if any, of emigration from the seamounts back to the continental slope and of movement between seamounts.

Assessment of Bottom Trawl Impacts on the Status of Seabed Communities in European Seas

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 285-299, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Bottom trawling affects seabed habitats, but its large‐scale impacts remain poorly quantified. Assessment of trawling impacts is essential to support monitoring and achieving sustainability objectives under international conventions, sustainable development goals, and seafood certification programs.

The structural and chemical basis of temporary adhesion in the sea star Asterina gibbosa

open access: yesBeilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2018
Background: Marine biological adhesives are a promising source of inspiration for biomedical and industrial applications. Nevertheless, natural adhesives and especially temporary adhesion systems are mostly unexplored.

Biochemical, Anatomical, and Pharmacological Characterization of Calcitonin-Type Neuropeptides in Starfish: Discovery of an Ancient Role as Muscle Relaxants

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2018
Calcitonin (CT) is a peptide hormone released by the thyroid gland that regulates blood Ca2+ levels in mammals. The CT gene is alternatively spliced, with one transcript encoding CT and another transcript encoding the CT-like neuropeptide calcitonin-gene

Nur77 Regulates the Phosphorylation of Smad3, Thereby Influencing Skeletal Muscle Fibrosis Caused by Obesity

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 3, 15 February 2026.
Skeletal muscle fibrosis stems from abnormal extracellular matrix accumulation due to excessive production or reduced degradation of collagen. Obesity induces this fibrosis, along with muscle atrophy and impaired regeneration. Nur77, a transcription factor encoded by NR4A1, is involved in diverse life activities.

Body wall structure in the starfish Asterias rubens

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, 2017
The body wall of starfish is composed of magnesium calcite ossicles connected by collagenous tissue and muscles and it exhibits remarkable variability in stiffness, which is attributed to the mechanical mutability of the collagenous component.

Fluctuating Curvature and Actuation in 4D Printed Asymmetric Networks by Frontal Photopolymerization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 3, 3 February 2026.
Asymmetric polymer networks, fabricated by frontal photopolymerization (FPP), are shown to exhibit curvature oscillations associated with monomer‐solvent exchanges during development and drying. We introduce a theoretical model for such dynamic curvature fluctuations and demonstrate the fabrication of bistable switches and self‐propelled materials that

The starfish experiment: a Lagrangian approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The present paper analyses the free surface deformation of a liquid metal drop under the influence of an alternating magnetic field. The analysis is restricted to the first axi- symmetric mode oscillation.
