Crown-of-thorns starfish [PDF]

Current Biology, 2013
Why ‘crown-of-thorns’? The crown-of-thorns starfish is nearly the largest species of starfish (Asteroidea). It may be 50 cm or more in diameter and can have more than 15 arms. Its ‘crown-of-thorns’ are the long sharp spines that cover its upper surface. What is more, the spines are coated with a saponin toxin, which causes irritation to puncture wounds

Recycling of Uridylated mRNAs in Starfish Embryos

Biomolecules
In eukaryotes, mRNAs with long poly(A) tails are translationally active, but deadenylation and uridylation of these tails generally cause mRNA degradation. However, the fate of uridylated mRNAs that are not degraded quickly remains obscure.

On some toxinological aspects of the starfish Stellaster equestris (Retzius, 1805)

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2008
Whole-body extracts in methanol were obtained from the starfish Stellaster equestris. The crude toxin was fractionated stepwise using diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) cellulose column chromatography.

Microbiota in the coelomic fluid of two common coastal starfish species and characterization of an abundant Helicobacter-related taxon

Scientific Reports, 2017
Marine invertebrates associate with diverse microorganisms. Microorganisms even inhabit coelomic fluid (CF), namely, the fluid filling the main body cavity of echinoderms. The CF microbiota potentially impacts host health and disease.

Fraternal cooperation of hierarchical cancer parallels metazoan multicellularity and eusociality

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 400-418, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Metazoan multicellularity and eusociality — both outcomes of the fraternal major transitions — have numerous features in common such as uneven distribution of group‐establishing potential. In addition to this framework, I argue herein that the group‐forming principles of metazoan multicellularity and eusociality are analogous to hierarchical ...

Structure-Activity Relationship Study of the Neuritogenic Potential of the Glycan of Starfish Ganglioside LLG-3 ‡

Marine Drugs, 2015
LLG-3 is a ganglioside isolated from the starfish Linchia laevigata. To clarify the structure-activity relationship of the glycan of LLG-3 toward rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells in the presence of nerve growth factor, a series of mono- to tetrasaccharide

Environmental and biological cues for spawning in the crown-of-thorns starfish

PLoS ONE, 2017
Sporadic outbreaks of the coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish are likely to be due, at least in part, to spatial and temporal variation in reproductive and settlement success.
