Extraction, Characterization and Osteogenic Activity of a Type I Collagen from Starfish (Asterias amurensis)

Marine Drugs, 2023
Outbreaks of starfish (Asterias amurensis) pose a major threat to aquaculture and marine ecosystems in Qingdao, China, and no effective methods have been found to control them. A comprehensive study of collagen in starfish could be an alternative to high

Starfish Gonadotropic Hormone: From Gamete-Shedding Substance to Relaxin-Like Gonad-Stimulating Peptide

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
The first report of a gonadotropic substance in an invertebrate hot-water extract of radial nerve cords from starfish Asterias forbesi that induced the shedding of gametes when injected into the coelomic cavity in a ripe individual occurred in 1959.

Characterization of NGFFYamide Signaling in Starfish Reveals Roles in Regulation of Feeding Behavior and Locomotory Systems

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Neuropeptides in deuterostomian invertebrates that have an Asn-Gly motif (NG peptides) have been identified as orthologs of vertebrate neuropeptide-S (NPS)-type peptides and protostomian crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP)-type neuropeptides.

A damage-tolerant, dual-scale, single-crystalline microlattice in the knobby starfish, Protoreaster nodosus

Science, 2022
Cellular solids (e.g., foams and honeycombs) are widely found in natural and engineering systems because of their high mechanical efficiency and tailorable properties.

Ultrasound-activated ciliary bands for microrobotic systems inspired by starfish

Nature Communications, 2021
Cilia are short, hair-like appendages ubiquitous in various biological systems, which have evolved to manipulate and gather food in liquids at regimes where viscosity dominates inertia.

Application of MS-Based Metabolomic Approaches in Analysis of Starfish and Sea Cucumber Bioactive Compounds

Marine Drugs, 2022
Today, marine natural products are considered one of the main sources of compounds for drug development. Starfish and sea cucumbers are potential sources of natural products of pharmaceutical interest.

Effects of elevated temperature on the performance and survival of pacific crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris)

Marine Biology, 2022
Population irruptions of Pacific crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris) have caused substantial damage to coral reefs, but it is largely unknown how this asteroid will fare in a warmer ocean.

Fish predators control outbreaks of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish

Nature Communications, 2021
Outbreaks of corallivorous Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (CoTS, Acanthaster spp.) have caused persistent and widespread loss of coral cover across Indo-Pacific coral reefs.

Starfish: Scalable Pipelines for Image-based Transcriptomics

Journal of Open Source Software, 2021
The exploding field of single cell transcriptomics has begun to enable deep analysis of gene expression and cell types, but spatial context is lost in the preparation of tissue for these assays.

Starfish-inspired wearable bioelectronic systems for physiological signal monitoring during motion and real-time heart disease diagnosis. [PDF]

Sci Adv
Soft bioelectronics enable noninvasive, continuous monitoring of physiological signals, essential for precision health care. However, capturing biosignals during physical activity, particularly biomechanical signals like cardiac mechanics, remains ...
